Abstract: | Public relations specialists and large corporations go to great lengths to develop and maintain a relationship of trust with their stakeholders. To build this trust, which is nevertheless intrinsic to the definition of public relations, specialists in the field do not have a model specific to their practice to guide their action. A review of the literature has led us to hypothesize a graduated relationship of trust on a continuum ranging from a positive pole to negative pole of trust. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted with public relations specialists and their stakeholders in order to compare this hypothesis with their practice in a real context and thereby define the components of a relationship of trust in public relations. Analysis of the data resulted in a reformulation of the original hypothesis and the development of a model of optimal contextual matching. |
