ENThe research aims to provide insight into the relationship between event-specific Consumer Perceived Corporate Ethicality (CPCE) and retail store loyalty by examining the effects of customer attitude towards retail store and retail store image. A sample of 181 large retail chains consumers were surveyed. Event-specific CPCE characteristics (competition based actions, health and safety based actions, and integrity based actions) were measured. All three CPCE dimensions have significant impact on attitude towards retail store and retail store image. The stronger relationship was found between CPCE and retail store image. The results of this study indicate that one way to compete is to increase consumer loyalty through enhancement of store image though acting in a social responsible manner. [From the publication]
