In addition, this study examines the effects of CSR activities of hotel companies among hospitality companies on their business performance. Donation is a representative activity of CSR. Analyses show that hospitality companies’ CSR activities have positive effects on their business performance. On the other hand, hotel companies’ CSR activities have negative effects on their business performance. The present study is meaningful in that it investigated the relationship between CSR activities, which have rarely been conducted in the hospitality industry, and business performance. Hotel companies should make more efforts so that their CSR activities would result in good business performance.","PeriodicalId":46737,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Administration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15256480.2020.1862018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47409457","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}

Given the demand of customers for CSR and local foods in restaurants, stakeholder theory, and social identity theory were used to assess whether promoting these practices add value to organizations. There were 557 surveys collected through an online survey panel that showed there is a significant relationship between CSR and perceived quality, price fairness, and satisfaction. The relationship between CSR and perceived quality has the largest influence of the relationships. Another key finding was that satisfaction and CSR, through the use of local foods, has the strongest influence on conative loyalty.

A major survey with 404 respondents was conducted and analyzed with structural equation modeling. The result shows that interior décor, ambience, equipment, signage and symbols, and facility variety are positively associated with customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions, while cleanliness and layout do not have any significant effect.

Qualitative methodology that included interviews and direct observation was used. The main finding was that poverty-related factors are the main drivers of child labor, compromising education, health, and therefore the future of minors.

Further, the study investigates the moderating role of power distance on the impacts of these two types of employee motivation factors. A series of hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed to test the research hypotheses using the responses to a structured survey of 203 hospitality employees in New Zealand. The findings demonstrate that hospitality employees’ perception of extrinsic-hygiene motivation factors has a stronger influence on their turnover intention while their perception of intrinsic motivation factors has a more salient impact on the exhibition of SOCB. The moderating role of power distance was found in the effect of hygiene factors on turnover intention (stronger in low power distance), that of intrinsic factors on turnover intention (stronger in low power distance), and that of intrinsic factors on SOCB (stronger in high power distance). The implications of the findings for researchers and practitioners and recommendations for future research are elucidated.","PeriodicalId":46737,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Administration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15256480.2020.1805088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49225511","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}
