Consumer Evaluations of Corporate Relief Efforts to Disaster Victims: When Controllability Matters
We demonstrate that consumer reactions to disaster relief efforts are an interactive outcome of perceived controllability and type of corporate donation. For disasters perceived as controllable, monetary contributions produce higher company evaluations than in-kind contributions of equivalent monetary value. However, the reverse is true for disasters perceived to be uncontrollable.
