Abstract
Our objective was to identify the dimensions of the patient experience that directly influence a hospital's reputation and indirectly impact electronic word-of-mouth communication carried out by patients. We collected data from 484 hospital users and analyzed the data using PLS-SEM. Our results show that paying attention to patient preferences and physical comfort, providing information and education, and treating patients' families and friends well tend to have a significant impact on the hospital's reputation. In turn, a hospital's reputation may influence patients to perform electronic word-of-mouth about their experiences.

Abstract
Maintaining operations in the face of crises like COVID-19 is difficult. Using the stakeholder theory, this study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs targeting company employees. Their social position and the likelihood of a green economic rebound (GER) are evaluated. Evidence shows that employee-focused CSR activities implemented by tourism boost organizational GER by fostering a more trusting work environment for their staff. Management and non-management staff at Chinese Tourism were polled using a non-probabilistic convenience sample and a 5-point Likert scale. Structured equation modeling was used to conduct structural analyses. Employee-focused CSR is a significant predictor of a firm reputation in the Chinese tourism industry. In addition, it is found that trust inside the organization acts as a go-between. The evidence also supports the hypothesis that a company's rising profile triggers GER. This research delves deeply into the connection between employees' perceptions of a company's employee-focused CSR initiatives, that company's reputation in the community, and employees' general enthusiasm for their job, a group that has been understudied until now. The findings are helpful for tourism management because they show them how to employ employee-focused CSR activities to strengthen connections with internal stakeholders while also using that reputation to shift to a greener way of doing business.

Abstract
In the era disruptive technology the emergence of artificial intelligence has fundamentally improved banking operations. The execution of artificial intelligence is no longer discretionary for financial institutions and now it is considered an essential tool to meet customer expectations. Although artificial intelligence enabled digital banking is faster efficient and effective however user acceptance of digital banking driven by artificial intelligence is in its initial stages. Therefore, current study develops and integrated research framework with expectation confirmation model and examines digital banking user satisfaction and acceptance of AI enabled digital banking. Data were collected from digital banking user through structured questionnaire. Overall, 320 respondents were approached and requested to participate in digital banking survey. In return 251 valid responses were received and analyzed with structural equation modeling. Findings of the structural model indicate that satisfaction is jointly determined by expectation confirmation, perceived performance, trendiness, visual attractiveness, problem solving, customization, communication quality and revealed substantial variance R^2 51.1% in digital banking user satisfaction. Therefore, satisfaction and corporate reputation have shown considerable variance R^2 48.3 in user acceptance of AI enabled digital banking. Moreover, the research framework has revealed substantial predictive power Q^2 0.449 to predict digital banking user satisfaction and Q^2 0.493 user acceptance of artificial intelligence enabled digital banking. Concerning with hypotheses relationships exogenous factors have shown positive and significant impact user satisfaction except trendiness and customization. Practically, this research has suggested that policy makers should pay attention in improving user expectation confirmation, perceived performance, visual attractiveness, communication quality and corporate reputation which in turn enhance satisfaction and boost digital banking user's confidence to accept artificial intelligence enabled digital banking. This study is original as it integrates expectation confirmation model with the antecedents of artificial intelligence and examines user behavior towards acceptance of artificial intelligence enabled digital banking.

Abstract
This aim of this research is to examine the role of Corporate Governance and Corporate Reputation (CR) in the disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSRD) and firm performance. A moderating - mediation model addresses this research objective based on 3588 observations from 833 firms from 31 countries between 2005 and 2011. Significant effect of CSRD on CR was observed, especially contributing to firm performance. The results verified a moderate effect of "corporate governance" on "CSRD" and CR. The study also demonstrated how CEO integrity, ownership concentration, and CR contribute to fostering CSRD and firm performance. This paper also discusses about the theoretical contributions and practical implications of the study.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between sustainability reporting (SR) and corporate reputation (CR) in the context of initial public offering (IPO) companies in the developing market of Malaysia. This study utilises secondary data from 2007 to 2017 derived from the content analysis of the annual reports and Datastream of 139 sampled IPO companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. The study also employs ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. The result shows that CR has a positive association with SR quantity and quality and its dimensions, i.e., society, environmental, employee, and product. This result suggests that IPO companies can use SR practices to improve their CR. Most companies give little attention to SR issues. More research should be conducted to examine the SR by IPO companies due to the significant role that SR plays in improving the CR of Malaysian IPO companies. The findings can be used by financial institutions and regulatory bodies to encourage companies to be more responsible on SR issues. Businesses should incorporate social practices into their SR decisions. This paper underlines the importance of integrating social and organisational activities.

Abstract
Corporate Reputation (CR) is essential to value generation and is co-created between a company and its stakeholders, including supply chain actors. Consequently, CR is a critical and valuable resource that should be managed carefully along supply chains. However, the current CR literature is fragmented, and a general definition of CR is elusive. Besides, the academic CR debate largely lacks a supply chain perspective. This is not surprising, as it is very difficult to collect reliable data along supply chains. When supply chains span the globe, data collection is especially challenging, as the chain consists of multiple suppliers and subcontractors, positioned at different tier levels. Recognizing this, the paper examines firstly the current state of CR research through a systematic literature review from a business perspective. The review is combined with a bibliometric mapping approach to show the most influential research clusters, representative of CR research streams and their contributors. This process highlights that the connection between CR and supply chain issues represents a major research gap. Consequently, this paper introduces a research agenda connecting these the two traditionally separated research fields.

Abstract
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) information can now be disseminated via social networking sites. An organization's image and upcoming portfolios are directly affected by electronic word of mouth (eWOM). It generates from its customers, employees, and other stakeholders. We developed a critical model to enlighten the behavior to share and comment on a negative news story about CSR displayed on Wechat and QQ to figure out what was causing this behavior. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and the partial least squares regression (PLS) approach were used to conduct a self-administered survey of hotel customers in China. Social and environmental awareness, information usefulness, corporate image, and a company's motivation to comment and share on CSR news were all considered explanatory variables in our study. We asked 300 Wechat and QQ users to rate a fake environmental news story. We found that social and environmental awareness affects the effectiveness of information and the attitude toward behavior, which may describe the eWOM intent of the particular news. On the other hand, corporate reputation could discourage people from disseminating eWOM and sharing the news with their social linkage contacts. The findings of the study suggest having a better understanding of how specific CSR activities can increase customers' commitment, which leads to positive eWOM, will benefit the hotel industry.

Abstract
This study investigates the value of reputation capital with regard to the stock market crash in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, when stock prices fell precipitously, firms with a positive reputation for the usefulness of products/services seen from within their business network showed stock returns five to seven percentage points higher than firms with a low reputation score. This suggests a positive reputation among stakeholders can serve as insurance against shocks in times of crisis. Notably, results suggest firms that can build public trust owing to the usefulness of the product/service are more resilient from crash caused by real economic damage, as occurred with the COVID-19-related crash.

Abstract
Banking institutions play a critical role in any economy, and their stability is crucial to the economic development of a nation. The wave of corporate scandals that rocked the industry left the public with a loss of confidence. Efforts have since been channeled by banks towards developing their corporate governance mechanisms, except that the aspect of ethical leadership and how it translates to a bank׳s corporate reputation has not received sufficient attention. The dataset presented the perception of employees in selected deposit money banks in Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to elicit data from the employees. Inferential statistics such as correlation, and regression analysis were adopted. The data collected focused on the impact of ethical leadership on corporate reputation. It also provided information on the significant factors affecting ethical leadership as well as the measures of corporate reputation. The survey data when analysed can be a pointer in determining the unique ethical leadership predictors that could enhance a bank׳s reputation.

Abstract
This research explored a conceptual framework incorporating interrelationships among corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate ability (CA), corporate reputation (CR), and CSR-related transparency on customer loyalty within the hotel context. In this study, we also analyzed consumers’ propensity to support CSR initiatives through the socio-demographic indicator of gender. We used independent sample t test and multiple regression analysis to test hypotheses based on 487 responses from American participants. Four antecedents (i.e., CSR, CA, CR, and transparency) exhibited favorable effects on customer loyalty. Among these four factors, the positively perceived CSR initiatives had a greater impact on customer loyalty. In addition, according to our findings, female participants were more likely to have a positive perception of the four antecedents than males.
