Abstract

The current study challenges to suggest an umbrella strategy applied to different type of crisis, which is different from normative principle in crisis communication. The umbrella or comprehensive strategy in this study is identification framing. Identification framing is strategic message for organizational identification, which is close to social identification. The current study employed experimental design manipulating crisis types, crisis response types, and identification framing. The crisis types were internal versus external crisis, crisis responses were denial versus apology, and using identification framing $2{\times}2{\times}2$ factorial design were used. Two hundreds forty students participated in the experiment. The result showed the significant effectiveness of identification framing in different crisis types and crisis responses.

본 연구의 목적은 기존에 위기커뮤니케이션 주로 다뤄진 규범적 이론을 넘어서 상이한 위기유형에 대응할 수 있는 프레이밍 전략으로 정체성 프레이밍을 소개하고 이에 효과를 밝히는데 있다. 정체성 프레이밍은 포괄적이며 조직정체성을 위한 전략적 메시지이며 이것은 사회적 정체성과 유사하다. 본 연구는 정체성 프레이밍의 효과를 검증하기 위해서 실험연구를 실시하였으며, 실험디자인을 통해 위기유형, 위기대응, 프레이밍 효과를 조작화 하였다. 위기유형은 내부적인 요인에 발생한 위기와 외부적 요인에 의해 발생한 요인으로 조작화 하였고, 위기대응은 사과와 부정으로, 마지막으로 정체성프레임 유무를 통해 $2{\times}2{\times}2$ 요인설계 되었다. 총 242명의 대학생이 이 실험에 참여했으며, 주요한 연구결과는 정체성 프레이밍 위기 유형과 위기대응 전략에 상관없이 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
