We introduce the Generalized Exchange Framework, which offers a theoretically rigorous model for understanding and managing any market. An ethnographic study of the craft beer industry illustrates elements of both mutuality and possessive individualism, highlighting normative structures influencing actors in firms‘ environments. We offer managerial implications based on an understanding of the degree to which industry actors value mutuality to differing degrees.","PeriodicalId":16424,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45218872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the first study evidencing the power of feelings of gratitude as a driver of positive word-of-mouth within the context of students’ experience of Higher Education in ASEAN and UK contexts. The study finds that feelings of gratitude are more likely to result in positive conversations with others than in thanks to the benefactor. Feelings of gratitude may also reduce silent endurance. However, expressions of gratitude appear to have no influence on a sender’s conversations about HE.","PeriodicalId":16424,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45581305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a sample of 316 hotel/motel employees, findings show that supervisor social undermining leads to greater service sabotage. Unethical behavior in the form of supervisor social undermining is positively related to job stress and this stress is exacerbated when ethical conflict exists. Moreover, besides being an outcome from unethical behavior, job stress can subsequently influence additional unethical behavior in the form of service sabotage via its impact on turnover intention.","PeriodicalId":16424,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46416139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extracting data from over 8,000 service providers on Airbnb, we reveal that males generate higher earnings than females for comparable accommodations.
