Drawing on Control Theory and the Threat-Rigidity Hypothesis, moderated associations were proposed between career variety and turnover intentions and grit and turnover intentions. The observed results supported the proposed theoretical explanation of job insecurity moderating the associations. Given low levels of job insecurity, people high in career variety were more likely to harbor high levels of turnover intentions and those with high levels of grit were less likely to harbor high turnover intentions. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drip pricing is a concept practiced in specific service industries but is understudied in the sharing economy. This study aims to examine the effect of pricing presentation on consumer’s intention to stay at an accommodation in a sharing economy context. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 tests the research framework and the effect of drip pricing versus partitioned pricing. Study 2 investigates the effect of perceived price fairness. Consistent in all two studies, consumers prefer partitioned pricing over drip pricing in the sharing economy context. Perceived price fairness moderates the hypothesized relationships, suggesting this moderating factor can be used to overcome the provider-imposed pricing presentations and attenuate the negative effect it has on staying intentions. The findings in this study help sharing economy hosts to better understand how to overcome the dictated pricing presentations on the platform. Based on the results, the pricing of the service fee is an important factor to ensure that customers will book their stay. This research advances the investigation of pricing presentation in a sharing economy context. A new moderator perceived fairness was identified as a strong moderator for consumers to stay in a sharing economy.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"210 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we investigate whether growth via acquisitions, a popular strategy in the HT industry, is influenced by CEO compensation. Using a sample of HT and non-HT firms for comparison from 1992 to 2019, we find that CEO compensation is significantly higher after acquisitions for both HT and non-HT firms. However, when controlling for common compensation determinants, CEO compensation is significantly higher in HT firms but not in non-HT firms. Surprisingly, in our sample, corporate governance is not significantly related to changes in CEO compensation post-acquisition. In addition, while the fraction of cash-based compensation is negatively related to M&A propensity in both HT and non-HT firms, the fraction of equity-based compensation is unrelated to M&A propensity in HT firms. Our study fills an important gap in the sparse literature on the link between M&A and CEO compensation in the HT industry, providing theoretical implications for future research and managerial implications for boards of directors to design compensation plans that align the interests of managers and shareholders.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the perspective of social exchange theory, the antecedents and outcome of this engagement were explored in two studies. A qualitative interview investigation of U.K. hotel employee engagement as reported by Senior Managers ( n = 9) was carried out in Study 1 from which a theoretical model to investigate the antecedents and outcome of this engagement was developed, and tested with U.K. hotel employees ( n = 163) in Study 2, with both studies conducted sequentially during the pandemic. Study 1 found that the emergence of new methods and styles of communication, the provision of and increased access to training, and employees’ adaptation to changes positively facilitated employee engagement through the pandemic. Results of Study 2 suggested that employee resilience, perceived communication quality, and workplace health and safety training are positively related to employee engagement, which in turn improves employee performance. This research enhances the theoretical understanding of the personal factor (i.e., employee resilience) and situational factors (i.e., perceived communication quality, and workplace health and safety training) that help enhance employee engagement and ultimately improve performance. The practical implications of the study propose means of effective communication with employees, mechanisms to bolster employee resilience and proactive health and safety training and reinduction of employees ahead of their return to work with guests during times of extreme turbulence.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a unique dataset that we derived comprising more than 2,000 hotels from five recent years, this study provides empirical evidence of significant effect of hotel characteristics on debt servicing performance and default. Debt service and debt yield performance is significantly and negatively associated with the likelihood of default. Hotel default probability also varies significantly across various hotel characteristics, including service type, location, class, size, and age. In particular, the results show interstate hotels by location, economy and midscale hotels by class, smaller hotels by size, newer hotels by age, and hotels that are components of portfolios with significantly lower probability of default. Analysis by hotel service type provides empirical support for the main findings. Theoretical and practical implications provide owners and investors with relevant information for hotel investment decisions.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141887070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, this study examines the moderating role of the severity of racial discrimination. Across two studies, this research provides evidence that observing customers tend to rate managers as fair when they support the targeted employees. Also, observing customers rate the targeted employees as competent when they professionally confront the customers which led to a higher level of revisit intention.

When consolidated, the research on front-line employee emotions revealed mixed and contradictory results and knowledge gaps on workplace challenges of service-oriented employees. The PRISMA were followed for study selection, and the appraisal theory of emotions was used to classify the direct antecedents and outcomes of emotion management. To calculate meta-analytic effect sizes, comprehensive meta-analysis methodology wasapplied to analyze 79 studies (N=28,332). The summary effects of known antecedents, affective events (conflict, customer interactions), stimuli (personality characteristics), and workplace environment (support and display rules) on front-line employees’ emotion management were more modest than previously indicated. Organization, supervisor, and coworker support were found to be a moderator between conflict and employees’ emotion management. The most-researched outcomes of emotion management (burnout and job performance) also showed only modest effect sizes. Job satisfaction was a moderator between emotion management and job performance. The relationship between emotion management and customer-related antecedents and outcomes showed modest to small effect sizes. These results contribute to the ATE and highlight the knowledge gap on how customer emotions and behaviors affect front-line employees’ ability to manage their emotions and provide quality customer service and, in turn, how employee’s transference of emotions might influence customer satisfaction, loyalty, and trust. Managers should provide necessary support to mitigate the impact of affective events that may influence how front-line employees manage emotions at work to increase job satisfaction and performance.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140929840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a systematic selection process using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, we obtained a sample of 37 empirical studies. Following the content analysis approach, we analyzed and synthesized the research results from these studies. Our review makes several critical contributions to the literature. First, our study casts light upon the divergent conceptualizations and approaches used for defining and measuring authentic leadership in the tourism and hospitality literature, thereby enhancing the depth of understanding of this multifaceted construct. Second, we present an overview of the theoretical frameworks and research designs employed in this domain. Third, we present a nomological network of authentic leadership in tourism and hospitality, highlighting the outcomes, moderators, and mediators. Based on these findings, directions for further studies are suggested to address the identified gaps in the literature. We also proposed several practical implications for managers and firms in tourism and hospitality industries to help leaders effectively influence their employees through their authentic behavior.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":"202 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
