The research project analyzes the credibility of CSR reports of European companies according to the “credibility gap” by formalizing and quantifying Habermas’ four validity claims and applying them to CSR reports and “expert stakeholder’s’” perception thereof. It presents a content analysis of the reports as well as a perception measurement, for which the "perceived credibility" (PERCRED) scale is developed. The following publications of empirical analyses resulted during the course of the project:
Lock Irina, Seele Peter (2016), The credibility of CSR reports in Europe. Evidence from a quantitative content analysis in 11 countries, in Journal of Cleaner Production, 1-15
Lock Irina, Seele Peter (2017), Measuring Credibility Perceptions in CSR Communication: A Scale Development to Test Readers’ Perceived Credibility of CSR Reports., in Management Communication Quarterly, 31(4), 584-613.
