ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing number of hotel management studies. However, until now, there has been no integrated perspective or precise guidance for hotel branding and marketing strategies. The current study used an integrated study of 996 participants (e.g., Study 1: 597 employees and Study 2: 399 customers) to extend customer‐based brand equity (CBBE) theory. The results of Study 1 show that entrepreneurial orientation and corporate vision have a mediating effect on the relationship between brand identity and brand value. Furthermore, brand culture has a significant moderating effect on brand value from the employee perspective. The results of Study 2 show that brand value indirectly affects brand loyalty through visit intention and brand image from the customer perspective. In addition, customer engagement is a critical attribute moderating the brand loyalty development process. Several alternative models are also provided to verify the robustness of the research findings. 摘要 近年來,酒店管理研究的數量不斷增加。然而,到目前為止, 對於酒店品牌成立和行銷策略運用則尚無整合的觀點或精確的引導。本整合型研究研究有996名參與者(舉例來說:第一個研究有597名員工;第二個研究有399名顧客), 主要擴展顧客基礎品牌權益(CBBE)理論基礎。研究一結果顯示:創業導向和企業願景對品牌認同和品牌價值之間的關係具有中介作用。此外, 從員工的角度來看, 品牌文化對品牌價值有顯著的調節作用。第二個研究結果顯示:品牌價值可以透過顧客的訪問意圖和品牌形象間接影響品牌忠誠度。此外, 顧客參與在品牌忠誠度發展過程中擔任至關重要的調節效果。本研究還提供了幾個替代模型來驗證實證結果的穩健性。 關鍵字:顧客基礎品牌權益; 品牌權益; 品牌價值; 品牌文化,參與

ABSTRACT Fully online tourist experiences remain a largely unexplored area of inquiry, as a valuable and meaningful traveling modality per se, beyond any connection with conventional tourism. This explorative study aims to advance knowledge on the role of human and technology dimensions in shaping the online tourist experience during the pandemic. A sample of 9,300 Airbnb Online Experience reviews of thirty-four online destination experiences was analyzed. A typology of four fully online tourism experiences is presented, such as individual escape and personalized learning, meeting the destination, meeting the host and social bonding. The research reveals the dynamic evolution of the fully online tourist experience during the pandemic, highlighting the strengthening role of the human dimension and the human-to-human interaction, despite the digital mediation of the in-remote destination visit. Avenues for destination management and marketing research and practice spring from the analysis of fully online tourist experiences as a form of virtual tourism. 完全在线的旅游体验仍然是一个很大程度上未被探索的领域, 作为一种有价值和有意义的旅游方式, 超越了传统旅游的任何联系. 这项探索性研究旨在增进对人类和技术维度在大流行期间塑造在线旅游体验中的作用的认识. 对34个在线目的地体验的9300个Airbnb在线体验评论样本进行了分析. 介绍了四种完全在线旅游体验的类型, 如个人逃生和个性化学习、与目的地见面、与主人见面和社会联系. 这项研究揭示了疫情期间完全在线旅游体验的动态演变, 突出了人的层面和人与人的互动的强化作用, 尽管远程目的地访问是数字媒介. 目的地管理和营销研究与实践的途径来源于对作为虚拟旅游形式的完全在线旅游体验的分析.

ABSTRACT The present study explores the relationships between entrepreneurship motives, attitude, and behavioral intention of Indian residents toward the meal-sharing economy. The study implements a self-administered questionnaire to collect quantitative data. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were binarily performed to test the aforementioned relationships. The PLS-SEM results show that the gratification of hosting, social interaction, and independence positively impact residents’ attitudes toward sharing economy. Moreover, social interaction, source of cultural capital, and gratification of hosting also positively influence the intention to participate in the meal-sharing economy. Moreover, the fsQCA results demonstrate that several configurations of the dimensions of entrepreneurship motivations generate the attitude toward the meal-sharing economy and the intention to participate in the meal-sharing economy. Based on the results, several theoretical and practical implications were suggested.

ABSTRACT Acknowledging the importance of institutional pluralism and food service firms’ dynamic capacity theory, this research examines customer service perception that could apply to develop or refine the possibility of different business logic in creating varied customer service outcomes. Using mixed methods, Study 1 uses the quantitative critical incident technique to measure how the business ability of service organizations should not be restricted by the type of business model. Based on the results of Study 1, a conceptual model was proposed for Study 2 and found that customers’ value mind-set and value construal can influence the overall customer service experience that can be formed in the customer construal level process. Further, business acumen can also yield a considerable range of emotional and physical inputs depending on the corresponding business logic. Actively managing the institutional pluralism of business logic, service firms are no longer restricted to an act imitated from business logic.

ABSTRACT The extensive implementation of smart technology, artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, and algorithms (STAARA) in hospitality services has accelerated the need to understand their potential influence on hotel employees’ career perceptions. This study conducted two scenario-based experiments based on disruptive innovation theory and the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model to examine how STAARA awareness shapes hotel employees’ job insecurity and mobility. In addition, this study investigated career progression as a counterstrategy to attenuate the substitution effect of STAARA. Study 1 demonstrated that hotel employees’ negative (vs. positive) awareness of STAARA leads to higher job insecurity and mobility. Furthermore, according to Study 2, for hotel employees with low-level career progression, negative (vs. positive) awareness of STAARA induces higher job insecurity and mobility. However, among employees with high-level career progression, there were no significant differences, which means that high-level career progression attenuates the impact of STAARA. This study also considers theoretical and practical influences.

ABSTRACT Research findings have shown that consumers’ cultural backgrounds affect their evaluations on products or services. We argue that the ethnic affinity between consumers and service providers can affect their evaluations and online engagement after consumption. Using the information of 359,885 consumer reviews and their profile images collected from restaurants in New York City listed on Yelp, we employ face recognition and a difference-in-differences (DID) design. The results suggest that the ethnic affinity between consumers and restaurants induces consumers to post positive reviews with high ratings and sentiments; their engagement in posting reviews is also enhanced with longer texts and more photos. These findings offer direct implications for restaurant managers and online booking platform operators from the perspective of hospitality marketing and management. 现有研究表明消费者的文化背景会影响其对产品和服务的评价, 本研究认为消费者和服务提供商之间的种族亲和力会对消费者的在线评价和在线参与行为产生影响。本研究基于纽约市Yelp平台餐厅的359885条消费者评论, 采用了图像识别模型识别消费者头像信息, 并进一步构建了双重差分模型进行实证分析。研究结果表明, 消费者与餐厅之间的种族亲和力会促使消费者发布含有更高评分、更多字数和图片的评论。

ABSTRACT Video bloggers, also known as vloggers, continuously create and share authentic videos on popular platforms like YouTube. Travel influencer vloggers (called vloggers in this study) influence their audience by sharing their trip experiences and giving reviews about destinations and travel brands. This study employs aconstructivist grounded theory approach of 35 YouTube vlogs from 21 vloggers through a3-phase theoretical sampling. The theorizing process resulted in the development of Vloggers’ Approaches and Practices (VAP) Theory by identifying the main approaches as content (CA) and objectives (OA), the two main practices of travel influencing (TIP) and vlogging (VP), and their relationships. The theoretical and managerial contributions can be important for scholars of influencer marketing, and practitioners that work with vloggers like destination marketing organizations (DMOs), hotels, tour operators, and transportation services.

ABSTRACT Value co-creation (VCC) appears as one of the key trends in marketing and management to reactivate the connection with customers. The main objective of this study is to analyze the chain of direct effects: VCC -> Brand Equity (BE) -> Customer Satisfaction (SAT). Furthermore, this research attempts to assess whether, in this chain of effects, there may be an interaction between both antecedent variables (VCC and BE) that enhances the understanding of satisfaction, and contrast the overall model for two segments: customers who booked the hotel through a traditional offline travel agency versus customers who booked online. The model is tested using PLS technique. Data was collected from 575 customers of four-star hotels in Majorca (Spain). Results reinforce the key importance of branding strategies in hotel management while showing that the channel of distribution partially moderates the relationships. Theoretical contribution and managerial implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT The study highlights how dysfunctional customer behavior affects the hotel’s guest-contact employee turnover intention by performing the role of wisdom leadership and job embeddedness. The model was tested using data collected from 325 guest-contact employees in Omani 4 and 5-star hotels. The results suggest that dysfunctional customer behavior increases the likelihood of employee turnover. Wisdom leadership plays a mitigating role in the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. Female respondents supported the notion that employees’ cognitive rumination is positively related to employee turnover intention and that customer dysfunctional behavior has a positive relationship with employee turnover. Emotional exhaustion partially mediates the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. However, cognitive rumination and employee stress do not mediate the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. On the other hand, males showed better support on the basis that wisdom leadership moderates the association between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. The paper concludes by contributing various implications and directions for future research.

The model was tested using data collected from 325 guest-contact employees in Omani 4 and 5-star hotels. The results suggest that dysfunctional customer behavior increases the likelihood of employee turnover. Wisdom leadership plays a mitigating role in the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. Female respondents supported the notion that employees’ cognitive rumination is positively related to employee turnover intention and that customer dysfunctional behavior has a positive relationship with employee turnover. Emotional exhaustion partially mediates the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. However, cognitive rumination and employee stress do not mediate the relationship between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. On the other hand, males showed better support on the basis that wisdom leadership moderates the association between dysfunctional customer behavior and employee turnover. The paper concludes by contributing various implications and directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"150 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42622911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT The analysis and comprehension of world events, nowadays, is best understood by dividing them as pre and the post pandemic era. Most of the principles and paradigms that governed the world before 2020 have changed and the academic community is in ferment, attempting to make sense of the new world we are living in. Two of the recent changes that have affected organizations in general and the hospitality businesses in particular, relate to its workforce and have been labeled as “great resignation” and “quiet quitting.” Both are paradigm shifts that will necessarily force hospitality managers and executives to rethink the way they have approached their internal marketing and, more broadly, human resources strategies and processes. The goal of this paper is to shed some light on the magnitude of the great resignation and quiet quitting and to propose a framework containing experiential practices that respond to the demands of the post pandemic workforce.
