Employer Branding and Corporate Social Responsibility – a postmodern approach

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

In the present article we designed an exploratory analysis from a postmodern perspective on employer branding and corporate social responsibility in order to overcome the disciplinary dogmatic approach that is found in the organizational and management studies. Our approach is based on investigating theoretical background for the two concepts that have a relatively recent history and it emphasizes their role of legitimation micro-structures with an organizational -corporate nature, arguing for the thesis that they represent founding micronarratives, with different histories, but similar aims.
