This practice seems to demonstrate the organization’s lack of accountability and transparency in dealing with the crisis.

The independent variables consisted of crisis management, charismatic leadership, and international learning orientation. The sampling population comprised 17,500 officers attached to the police forces of the Emirates of Fujairah and Sharjah, with the sampling size of this study being 226.

Based on the partial least square structural equation modelling, the findings reveal that crisis response strategy, crisis responsibility, and charismatic leadership communication have a significant impact on perceived organizational reputation. Likewise, the mediating role of charismatic leadership communication has also been found to be substantial in influencing this reputation. Finally, the moderating role of international learning orientation was also significant. Overall, the model was capable of explaining 72.4% change because of the selected exogenous variables. The overall model is of significance and the findings are critical for the relevant policymakers as the issue of the perceived reputation of an organization is a serious matter and needs proper attention. 2022 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/10188/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/10188/1/Permission%20to%20deposit-grant%20the%20permission-s903166.pdf text eng staffonly https://etd.uum.edu.my/10188/2/s903166_01.pdf text eng public other doctoral Universiti Utara Malaysia
