Purpose
The purpose of this article is to analysis of the effects of green innovation ecosystem coopetition (cooperation and competition), environmental management practices (EMPs) and digital innovation (DI) on carbon footprint reduction.
Design/methodology/approach
To conduct the study, a questionnaire was administered to hotel managers from different regions of Brazil. Data were collected from 197 hotels and analyzed via partial least squares structural equation modeling.
Findings
The results show that green innovation ecosystem cooperation positively and significantly affects EMPs and DI. Green innovation ecosystem competition interactions also benefit the adoption of EMPs. However, they do not significantly influence the use of DI. The results indicate that hotels that are in a scenario of simultaneous competition and collaboration (coopetition) within the green innovation ecosystem can reduce carbon emissions when EMPs and DI are used.
Research limitations/implications
The authors contribute to the literature by showing different pathways for reducing the carbon footprint of hotels. The results expand the authors’ knowledge by showing evidence that cooperation and competition interactions can produce distinct effects, especially on DI. Thus, this study has important practical implications for hotel managers seeking to improve their environmental practices and DI with the help of external multiagent resources and knowledge.
Originality/value
This research contributes to the literature by examining how cooperation and competition interactions in the green innovation ecosystem help in the adoption of environmental management and DI practices.
目的本文旨在分析绿色创新生态系统合作（合作与竞争）、环境管理实践（EMPs）和数字创新（DI）对减少碳足迹的影响。研究结果表明，绿色创新生态系统合作对 EMPs 和 DI 有积极而显著的影响。绿色创新生态系统的竞争互动也有利于 EMPs 的采用。但是，它们对 DI 的使用没有明显影响。结果表明，在绿色创新生态系统中同时处于竞争与合作（合作竞争）情景下的酒店，在使用 EMPs 和 DI 时可以减少碳排放。研究局限/意义作者通过展示减少酒店碳足迹的不同途径，为文献做出了贡献。研究结果表明，合作与竞争的相互作用会产生不同的效果，尤其是对 DI 的影响，从而扩展了作者的知识。因此，这项研究对于酒店管理者借助外部多代理资源和知识改善其环境实践和直接排放具有重要的现实意义。 原创性/价值这项研究通过考察绿色创新生态系统中的合作与竞争互动如何有助于采用环境管理和直接排放实践，为相关文献做出了贡献。

Purpose
Despite the increasing popularity of women-owned businesses in the marketplace, relatively few studies in the hospitality literature have focused on these businesses. Hence, this study aims to examine the impact of femvertising and purplewashing on consumers’ willingness to pay a premium at women-owned restaurants, as well as the role of feminist self-identification and psychological closeness underlying these associated effects. The study aims to provide insights into women-owned restaurant marketing strategies and to highlight the importance of authentic brand activism in consumer behavior in the restaurant industry.
Design/methodology/approach
Building on Construal Level Theory, this paper conducts two online experiments with 486 US participants who have dined at or ordered takeout from a restaurant. The studies aim to investigate consumers’ opinions about brand activism strategies (i.e. femvertising and purplewashing) in restaurants.
Findings
The results of two experimental studies indicate that a femvertising strategy increases consumers’ willingness to pay a premium for a women-owned restaurant compared to a non-women-owned restaurant. Moreover, consumers who identify more strongly as feminists are more likely to pay more for women-owned restaurants when purplewashing is absent (vs present). Additionally, psychological closeness serves as an underlying mechanism that explains these effects.
Practical implications
This study provides clear and actionable recommendations to help business stakeholders, owners and managers to market and advertise women-owned restaurants. For example, women-owned restaurant practitioners should feature women empowerment messaging in their advertisements to attract more consumers. However, they should avoid using purplewashing and other inauthentic brand activism practices in advertisements.
Originality/value
This research contributes to the hospitality literature on women entrepreneurship by exploring the effective marketing strategies of women-owned restaurants and investigating how to advertise women-owned businesses in the hospitality field. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is also the very first study to explore the role of femvertising and purplewashing in consumers’ food-related decision-making.

Purpose
This study aims to explore memory-dominant logic (MDL) in the luxury hotel context to assess the flow of management experience decisions to memorable experiences, which lead to guest outcomes. While research into memorable experiences has gained traction, the theoretical underpinnings of what makes an experience memorable in a luxury hotel setting are not well documented.
Design/methodology/approach
A grounded theory, qualitative methodology was used to assess MDL value transformation. Inductive methods included conducting in-depth interviews with hotel managers and analyzing social media reviews for each hotel. Guest reviews served as an indicator of memory outcomes and the counterpoint to the managerial interviews, supporting or refuting interview findings.
Findings
Key dimensions emerged, emphasizing the importance of managerial inputs to experience design, service experience attributes and memorable experience creation, demonstrating a sequence of memory-based value creation and outcomes such as positive word of mouth/electronic word of mouth (WOM/eWOM). Sentiment analysis identified attributes that appear to be a “must-have” to avoid dissatisfaction, as well as areas at risk for negative memories. Dimensions were developed into a framework using themes derived from MDL value transformation, management and consumer inputs that influence memorable experience outcomes in this context.
Research limitations/implications
The study supported the MDL theoretical framework by illustrating the flow from managerial inputs to the service experience, to elements of experience co-creation, and through to the guests’ WOM/eWOM and experience memories. The findings highlighted the symbiotic relationship between firm culture and service experience design, providing guidance for managerial practice going forward.
Originality/value
This paper uncovers major themes and dimensions identified by guests and managers as necessary in creating memorable experiences in a luxury setting and develops a framework that serves as a foundation for further study, including anteceding factors and their impact on hedonic consumption across experience domains.

Purpose
This study aims to examine the roles of customer orientation (CO) and two distinct stress coping strategies – problem-focused (PC) and emotion-focused (EC) – in the positive relationship between customer incivility (CI) and job stress (JS).
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected via a survey of casino dealers in South Korea. Common method variance was assessed using an unmeasured latent method construct, confirming both convergent and discriminant validity. Collinearity diagnostics were conducted to evaluate potential multicollinearity among independent variables. Hypotheses were tested using PROCESS Macro Models 1 and 3 to examine moderating effects and three-way interactions.
Findings
CI is positively related to JS. Employees with high CO experience greater JS when faced with CI compared to those with low CO. Highly customer-oriented employees with low coping strategies encounter significant JS when dealing with uncivil casino patrons.
Practical implications
Casino practitioners should balance CO strategies with effective stress management and support systems. This finding calls for a reevaluation of training programs and policies to maintain high service quality while ensuring employee well-being.
Originality/value
This study challenges the traditional view of CO as merely a stress-buffering factor by revealing its paradoxical role. It identifies individuals more susceptible to JS and demonstrates how the interaction between CI, CO and coping strategies (i.e. PC or EC) can escalate JS.
目的 本研究旨在探讨顾客导向（CO）和两种不同的压力应对策略--以问题为中心（PC）和以情绪为中心（EC）--在顾客不礼貌行为（CI）和工作压力（JS）之间的正相关关系中的作用。使用未测量的潜在方法构造对共同方法方差进行了评估，确认了收敛有效性和判别有效性。进行了共线性诊断，以评估自变量之间潜在的多重共线性。使用 PROCESS 宏模型 1 和 3 对假设进行了检验，以考察调节效应和三方交互作用。与 CO 值低的员工相比，CO 值高的员工在面对 CI 时会经历更多的 JS。实际意义赌场从业人员应在客户导向策略与有效的压力管理和支持系统之间取得平衡。这一发现要求对培训计划和政策进行重新评估，以便在确保员工福利的同时保持较高的服务质量。原创性/价值这项研究通过揭示 CO 的矛盾作用，挑战了将 CO 仅视为压力缓冲因素的传统观点。它识别出了更容易受到 JS 影响的个体，并展示了 CI、CO 和应对策略（即 PC 或 EC）之间的相互作用如何导致 JS 的升级。

Purpose
Drawing on conservation of resources theory, this paper aims to propose that daily multitasking increases employees’ daily role pressure, ultimately hindering their service innovation behavior. Furthermore, we suggest that trait mindfulness may mitigate this negative impact.
Design/methodology/approach
To empirically test the study hypotheses, this paper conducted a multilevel diary field study, collecting data from 64 employees over 10 working days to comprehensively validate the theoretical model.
Findings
The findings indicate that daily multitasking indirectly reduces daily service innovation behavior by increasing employee role pressure. Notably, this indirect effect is more pronounced among employees with lower trait mindfulness, while it is less significant for those with higher trait mindfulness.
Practical implications
Hotels should manage multitasking, reduce employee stress and promote service innovation by optimizing task allocation and redesigning work processes. Additionally, hotel management should adopt a multifaceted and innovative approach to foster mindfulness traits.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature on multitasking and innovation by examining how and when daily multitasking influences employee service innovation behavior.

High-skilled employees are crucial for sustained competitive advantage of organisations. In the “war for talent”, organisations must position themselves as attractive employers. This study aims to introduce a unified framework to systematically identify and prioritise organisational attractiveness (OA) components, focusing on the extreme context of the airline industry.
Design/methodology/approach
Treating OA as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) situation, this study uses the Fuzzy Delphi Method to validate key OA factors and the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process to prioritise them based on experts’ judgements.
Findings
This study identifies 5 criteria and 22 sub-criteria for OA, with job characteristics and person–job fit as most critical. These elements signal employment quality and skill–job alignment, reducing information asymmetry and attracting talent.
Practical implications
This research provides a practical framework for airline managers to identify and prioritise key aspects of OA to enhance their value proposition and attract and retain qualified employees. For policymakers, applying the OA framework supports informed policy decisions on employment standards and workforce development.
Originality/value
This research introduces a fuzzy OA index and a framework that enhances OA. By incorporating signalling theory into a fuzzy MCDM approach, it systematically addresses key OA components, offering a strategic method to boost OA.
目的高技能员工是企业保持竞争优势的关键。在 "人才争夺战 "中，组织必须将自己定位为具有吸引力的雇主。本研究旨在引入一个统一的框架，以航空业的极端环境为重点，系统地识别组织吸引力（OA）要素并确定其优先次序。本研究将组织吸引力视为一种多标准决策（MCDM）情境，采用模糊德尔菲法（Fuzzy Delphi Method）验证组织吸引力的关键因素，并根据专家的判断采用模糊分析层次法（Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process）对这些因素进行优先排序。研究结果本研究确定了组织吸引力的 5 个标准和 22 个次级标准，其中工作特征和人职匹配最为关键。这项研究为航空公司管理者提供了一个实用框架，帮助他们识别并优先考虑 OA 的关键方面，以提升其价值主张，吸引并留住合格员工。对于政策制定者而言，应用 OA 框架有助于在就业标准和劳动力发展方面做出明智的决策。通过将信号理论纳入模糊 MCDM 方法，它系统地解决了 OA 的关键要素，提供了一种促进 OA 的战略方法。

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors influencing viewers’ engagement intention in travel live streaming (TLS) from a perceived value perspective.
Design/methodology/approach
This study used a mixed-methods approach. In Study 1, 48 semistructured interviews were analyzed based on grounded theory and perceived value theory, and a research framework was established to investigate the impact of viewers’ engagement intentions in TLS. In Study 2, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to empirically validate survey data from 255 TLS viewers.
Findings
Through an analysis of the interview content, it was found that the expertise and interaction of the live streamer in TLS as well as the immersion, aesthetics and novelty of the live streaming scene are key influencing factors that affect the engagement of TLS viewers. This finding was confirmed through empirical research.
Practical implications
This research provides practical suggestions for live streamers, TLS platforms and local government to increase viewer engagement. Specifically, it provides methods and directions for the individual improvement of live streamers, further promotes the development and construction of the platform and underscores the importance of government initiatives in policy support and regulatory framework development.
Originality/value
This study focuses on the less-researched field of TLS. Using a mixed-methods approach combining interviews and PLS-SEM, this study explores the key factors that affect the engagement of TLS viewers based on the characteristics of live streamers and live streaming scenes.

Purpose
This study aims to discover factors and configurations that influence customers’ acceptance behaviors to investigate the current hospitality industry using service robots.
Design/methodology/approach
A mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical modeling methods was used for the data analysis. The symmetrical modeling was used to find the net effects, whereas asymmetrical modeling was adopted to find the combined configurations for hotel guests’ robot service acceptance behaviors.
Findings
The results revealed the significant effect of innovativeness, willingness to be a lighthouse customer, personal norms and concern about service robot performance on acceptance behaviors. In addition, the complex solution models using characteristics of tech-forward consumers, norms and attitude and uncertainty and concern were found.
Practical implications
The study shows directions to hotel marketers, to help them make customers adopt service robots.
Originality/value
The study explored customer service robot acceptance behaviors based on comprehensive theoretical backgrounds, including the technology acceptance model, theory of planned behavior, norm activation model and service robot acceptance model.
