ABSTRACT Employing conservation of resources (CoR) theory, we tested the mediating effect of employees’ emotional energy in the connection between transformational leadership style (TFL) and subordinates’ job performance. Additionally, drawing on self-concept theory, the moderating effect of meaningful work in the association between emotional energy and job performance was tested. Data collection (N = 546) was conducted in 72 hotels in Bangladesh using convenience sampling. SmartPLS was used for data analysis. TFL was positively associated with emotional energy, and emotional energy was the underlying mechanism between TFL and job performance. Meaningful work was the significant moderator strengthening the association between emotional energy and job performance. By explaining the mediating and moderating role of emotional energy and meaningful work, the findings contribute to the literature on CoR theory, TFL, job performance, self-concept theory, and hospitality. Recruiting employees who are more emotionally energized and alive, along with leadership practices and generating meaningful work, is imperative.

ABSTRACT Recently the hotel industry has been facing immense pressure from several stakeholders, including the government, society, and consumers, to reduce the adverse impact of their activities on the environment. To respond to this pressure, hotels have started implementing various strategies to mitigate their detrimental environmental impact, and one of the strategies is to boost consumers’ green behavior. However, there is limited knowledge about the decision-making process behind consumers’ green behavior in hotels. Hence, this study aims to provide new insights and fill this critical research gap by exploring why and how hotels’ perceived Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives influence consumers’ green behavior. To achieve this objective, the study investigates the mediating role of consumer engagement and positive emotions and the moderating role of altruistic values on the relationship between CSR and consumer engagement and positive emotions. Data is collected through a structured survey of hotel consumers in Pakistan. The results show that consumers’ positive emotions and engagement mediate the effect of hotels’ perceived CSR initiatives on consumers’ green behavior. Moreover, the study confirms that altruistic values moderate the relationship between CSR, positive emotions, and consumer engagement. Theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed at the end of the paper.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the impact of anthropomorphism on customers’ decisions to use artificial intelligence (AI) devices in hotels, along with other traditional predictors. The study’s model considered the co-occurrence of positive and negative effects of anthropomorphism, including social presence and identity threats, which compete to control evaluative attitudes toward AI devices. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the model using data from 363 participants. The results showed that anthropomorphism positively enhances social presence, leading to higher performance expectancy and positive emotions toward AI devices. Anthropomorphism also entails identity threats, resulting in increased effort expectancy and negative emotions. These trade-offs highlight the need for hotels to consider how customers perceive and respond to anthropomorphized AI devices during service delivery and to choose the level of anthropomorphism accordingly. This study highlights the benefits and cost trade-offs inherent in anthropomorphism and explains how they affect the evaluative attitudinal responses toward AI devices.

ABSTRACT Hotels across the globe are trying to adopt green technologies for reducing the negative impact of the hospitality segment on the environment. However, the implementation of green technologies in hotels can be affected by the perspectives of managers. There is a need to assess the views of managers regarding the enablers, barriers and skill-sets that affect the adoption of green technologies in hotels. Existing studies fail to draw a proper link between the factors that affect green technology use in hotels and the website content of green hotels. Semi-structured interviews of fifteen managers and topic-modeling of the website content of forty-one Indian green hotels reveal that there is a gap in communications and awareness. The qualitative study using a grounded theory and phenomenology approach has found motivators like, cost reduction, value-for-nature, and barriers like, misperception of customers, high cost. The study highlighted the importance of green skills as a moderator. 全球的酒店都在尝试采用绿色技术来减少酒店业对环境的负面影响. 然而,酒店绿色技术的实施可能会受到管理者观点的影响. 有必要评估管理人员对影响酒店采用绿色技术的推动因素、障碍和技能的看法. 现有研究未能在影响酒店绿色技术使用的因素与绿色酒店网站内容之间建立适当的联系. 对 15 名经理的半结构化访谈和对 41 家印度绿色酒店网站内容的主题建模表明,在沟通和意识方面存在差距. 使用扎根理论和现象学方法的定性研究发现了诸如降低成本、保护自然价值等激励因素,以及诸如对客户的误解、高成本等障碍. 该研究强调了绿色技能作为主持人的重要性.

ABSTRACT The study explores the opportunities and challenges that the cross-border integration of “Metaverse + hotel” brings to visitors and the hospitality industry. The study analyses the engagement differences between Metaverse hotels and traditional online/offline strategies regarding engagement immersion, community interaction, personalization, environmental perception, and participation. Metaverse hotel brings the impact of realistic environmental simulation, personalized service, customer engagement, and consumer follow-up feedback. Further, it brings to the hospitality industry the impact of enhancing organizational performance, co-creating value for stakeholders, influencing customer relationship management, and changing how managers communicate. Finally, Metaverse technology raises challenges of security issues, technical barriers, high costs, and uncertain user needs.

ABSTRACT The development of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation market has seen multiple platforms providing booking services to consumers. As such consumers’ switching intention is equally important as repurchase intention to platform operators. This study applies cue utilization theory to study the effects of perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) on P2P accommodation consumers’ repurchase intention and switching intention through trust and privacy risk. The study results show that the three dimensions (i.e. environmental, economic, and ethical) of perceived CSR have positive effects on trust, which increases repurchase intention but reduces switching intention; the environmental dimension of perceived CSR has a negative effect on privacy risk, which reduces repurchase intention but increases switching intention. Trust and privacy risk both mediate the effects of perceived CSR on repurchase/switching intention, but the indirect effects through trust are larger. The study demonstrates the utility of CSR in P2P accommodation platforms’ marketing and customer relationship management strategies. 点对点 (P2P) 住宿市场的发展已经看到多个平台为消费者提供预订服务. 因此者对于平台经营者而言, 消费者的转换意愿与复购意愿同等重要. 本研究运用线索利用理论, 通过信任和隐私风险, 研究感知企业社会责任 (CSR) 对P2P住宿消费者的回购意愿和转换意愿的影响. 研究结果表明, 感知CSR的三个维度 (即环境、经济和伦理) 对信任有正向影响, 增加了回购意愿但降低了转换意愿; 感知CSR的环境维度对隐私风险有负面影响, 降低了回购意愿, 但增加了转换意愿. 信任和隐私风险都调解感知 CSR 对回购/转换意图的影响, 但通过信任产生的间接影响更大. 该研究证明了企业社会责任在 P2P 住宿平台的营销和客户关系管理策略中的效用.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to conceptualize ethical leadership (EL) in a hospitality context, grounded in Eastern philosophical foundation. Four studies consisting of both qualitative and quantitative were conducted, involving 732 hotel employees from 11 hotels. Study one used literature review, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussion to conceptualize ethical leadership as a four-dimensional construct, including moral person, employee care, moral management, and social responsibility. Three empirical studies were employed (study 2–4) to examine the psychometric properties of the proposed scale, including content, convergent, discriminant, concurrent and nomological validity. A nomological framework was examined, in which ethical leadership was proposed to influence employee voice behavior via employee psychological safety and leader-member exchange. This study enriches ethical leadership literature and provides a reliable and valid measuring tool for hospitality scholars interested in studying leadership in Eastern cultures. It also provides insights for hotel managers to develop and enhance ethical leadership skills.

ABSTRACT This research aims to demystify the links between meal-sharing experience, overall satisfaction, and behavioral intentions (e.g., re-purchase and word-of-mouth) based on social practice theory and planned behavior theory. It utilized a questionnaire to test the relationships through the purposeful sampling of 217 Indian domestic travelers. The current study applied both the symmetric method of partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and the asymmetric method of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The PLS-SEM results showed that only the hospitality dimension of the meal-sharing experience positively relates to travelers’ overall satisfaction, re-purchase, and word-of-mouth (WoM) intentions. Apart from this, the results of fsQCA demonstrated several sufficient combinations of dimensions to generate satisfaction, re-purchase, and WoM intentions. It has several practical implications for hosts of meal-sharing platforms as to how they can improve their guests’ experience to delight and get them to re-purchase their services.

ABSTRACT This study is dedicated to m-commerce and examines the key factors determining loyalty to online food delivery (OFD) services in Indonesia, Taiwan, and New Zealand, as these countries have faced varying degrees of pandemic severity. The data analysis using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) shows that the quality of both food and e-service, satisfaction, perceived value, and trust are significant predictors of loyalty in all countries. Food quality drives consumer loyalty, contentment, and perceived value in Indonesia and Taiwan, but e-service quality is the main determinant in New Zealand. These differences can be attributed to the status quo of the OFD service market in the three countries pre-Covid, cultural factors, the pandemic severity, and consumer access to other distribution channels. Best practice recommendations for marketing managers associated with OFD are presented.

ABSTRACT Since its launch, ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Open AI based on the premises of generative pre-trained transformer autoregressive language models, has gained widespread popularity and is making significant impact on society with its unique features, such as natural language processing and contextual awareness. ChatGPT is viewed as a major disruptive innovation that is likely to revolutionize the operations in many industries including the hospitality and tourism industry. The adoption of ChatGPT will result in substantial changes throughout the hospitality and tourism industry by disrupting how customer search for information, make decisions, and how businesses produce, create, and deliver customized services and experiences. This conceptual paper provides a comprehensive discussion on generative pre-trained transformers’ (GPTs) benefits, and potential challenges and threats they pose to the hospitality and tourism industry. The feasibility of integrating GPT into different travel stages and decision-making processes is also discussed. The article concludes by proposing a potential future research agenda on using GPT in creating and delivering hospitality and tourism experiences, which can guide further advancements in the field.
