This study investigates and prioritises expectations of tourists from long-distance transportation services. Tehran (capital of Iran) to Yazd is chosen as the case study of this research. SERVQUAL survey was developed and distributed on this route at different modes. First, data from survey distribution are weighted based on the importance of each criterion and sub-criteria and then prioritised using a fuzzy AHP method. The results show that responsiveness is the most crucial criterion. It also depends on the type of the trip (educational, recreational or business) that may have a significant impact on selecting the most important criteria from their perspective. The results can lead to efficiency improvements in transportation systems as well as providing better facilities to attract more tourists. These insights can help managers and policymakers in planning and promoting tourist satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":35475,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Decision Making","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43989271","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}

We collected primary data from 110 professional accountants from seven metropolitan cities in India. The data was analysed by using partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique and checked for robustness through fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique. It was observed that AC has a significant and mediating linear effect on the linkage between JS and the accountant’s AICR. No quadratic effects were observed. The study makes three distinct contributions. First, it contributes to a unique behavioural understanding of the antecedents influencing the professional accountant’s AICR in the context of an emerging markets. Second, it contributes to the methods literature by testing both the linear effects and the quadratic effects and also by undertaking the robustness check of PLS-SEM analysis by fsQCA. Finally, the study uses the theoretical underpinning of the social exchange theory (SET) to build a deeper understanding of the antecedents of AICR.","PeriodicalId":35475,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Decision Making","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66702648","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}

However, a trade-off relationship exists between short-term profit and R&D expenditure (present vs. future), because of the uncertainty involved. Choosing to invest in R&D is thus seen as a risk-taking propensity of the decision-makers, and how to perceive the risk is susceptible of their cognitive system. This study included three empirical studies involving R&D investment situations. It looked at how goal-directed emotion worked for the decision-maker's risk-taking propensity, and how this motivated to construct her/his goal-directed efforts in R&D investment. Study 1 showed that the affect heuristic confirmed the decision-maker's risk-taking propensity, and the electrodermal activity (EDA) measure in Study 2 revealed that the affect heuristic contributed to the goal-directed emotion. The last experiment (Study 3) revealed how one's risk-taking propensity, motivated by the decision-maker's goal-directed emotion, modulated the goal-directed efforts. Finally, the implications and suggestions for the decision-makers with regard to the R&D investment were discussed.","PeriodicalId":35475,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Decision Making","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66702670","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}
