Does It Hurt Or Protect? the Effect of Affective Commitment on Unethical Behavior Toward Transgressing Brands
Affective commitment toward brands can have a dual effect; it can ‘buffer’ or ‘amplify’ consumer backlash against the transgressing brand. We resolve this paradox and examine managerially relevant moderators; the transgression agency responsible, type of transgression, brand remedial measures, and brand apology. Mediating effect of shame is also established.
