Drawing on the leader-member exchange and social exchange theories, this study investigates the link between PXL with work engagement (ENG) and employee voice behavior (EVB) by means of perceived organizational support (POS). The current study also explores work environment (ENV) in the hotel setting as a moderator. Simple random sampling has been used to gather data from 493 employees working in five-star hotels in Sharm El-Sheikh. The partial least square (PLS)-structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that POS partially mediated the association of POS with ENG and EVB. Moreover, ENV helped strengthen the positive effects of POS on both ENG and EVB. The study concludes with beneficial contributions for researchers and practitioners in the context of hotel management.","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"670 - 693"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49237370","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}

Based on norm activation model and individualism-collectivism, this study proposes a perspective of religious beliefs to conceptualize divine awareness (i.e. divine retribution and divine rewards) and environmental awareness (i.e. resource scarcity and eco-friendly) on the formation of food waste prevention practices. A total of 571 samples from Taiwan and 483 samples from the United States was collected. Both countries showed that religious beliefs improved divine retribution, divine rewards, and religious food waste prevention practices. Divine rewards enhanced tourists’ awareness of resource scarcity and eco-friendly, and resource scarcity led to religious food waste prevention practices. Interestingly, the effects of divine retribution on resource scarcity and eco-friendly were significant only in Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"530 - 554"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43252911","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}

Based on social exchange theory and cognitive appraisal theory, a research model is developed to examine whether and how perceived CSR authenticity promotes customer citizenship behavior (CCB). The data was collected from 313 customers of the fast food restaurants in Taiwan and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that perceived CSR authenticity positively and directly impacts CCB. Further, this relationship is mediated by emotional attachment and feelings of gratitude and is positively moderated by altruism. This study contributes to the extant literature by uncovering the mechanisms through which CSR authenticity impacts CCB and provides crucial implications that help hospitality firms formulate more effective CSR strategies based on the perceived authenticity of their CSR activities.","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"477 - 504"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42051504","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}

However, previous research focusing on PCSP has been fragmented, each investigating the associations between a single or few selected antecedents and PCSP in the hospitality industry. The present study aims to meta-analytically examine the direction and magnitude of effect sizes of the relationships between PCSP and its main antecedents as well as the moderating effect of national culture in the hospitality context. A quantitative meta-analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses based on 17 antecedents and 42 independent studies (N=13,333). The antecedents of PCSP can be categorized into job attitudes, job strain, leader behaviors, performance, family context factor, workplace factors, positive psychological states, emotional labor and individual determinants. The results demonstrated that empowering leadership had the strongest impact on PCSP, followed by mindfulness and thriving at work. The results also indicated that national culture was a key moderator in the analysis. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis to collect, synthesize and analyze the theoretical links between PCSP and its antecedents and moderator has also been verified. What’s more, this study has discussed future research directions for PCSP in hospitality. 作为一种新兴的构念, 主动性顾客服务绩效 (PCSP) 近年来得到了广泛的研究。然而, 以往对PCSP的研究一直是碎片化的, 每一项研究都调查了酒店业中单个或几个选定的前因变量与PCSP之间的关联。本研究旨在用元分析的方法检验酒店业背景下的PCSP与其主要前因变量之间关系的效应量的方向和大小, 以及国家文化的调节作用。基于17个前因变量和42项独立研究 (N=13333), 本文进行了定量元分析以检验假设。PCSP的前因变量可分为工作态度、工作压力、领导行为、绩效、家庭背景因素、工作场所因素、积极心理状态、情绪劳动和个人因素。 结果表明, 授权领导力对PCSP的影响最大, 其次是正念和工作繁荣。 结果还表明, 国家文化是重要的调节变量。 据作者所知, 这是第一个收集、综合和分析PCSP与其前因变量之间理论联系的元分析。此外, 本研究还探讨了PCSP在酒店业的未来研究方向。","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"505 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47991010","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}

This research takes a qualitative approach to explore hospitality service elements that are aesthetically appealing to customers. It draws on Adorno’s aesthetic theory to better understand service aesthetics through the lens of the autonomous, socially determined, critical, and mimetic character of beauty. We improvise the concept of hospitality service aesthetic to notion that beauty is socially mediated in hospitality settings along five major themes: ocular-servicescape, facility spectacle, thematic embellishment, architectonic magnificence, and humanistic appearance. This inquiry also moves beyond the servicescape typology and prior empirical studies of aesthetics to acknowledge the constellation of environmental stimuli that can arouse customers from functional, emotional, symbolic, and socio-cultural perspectives.追求美已经成为我们日常生活的一部分, 正如酒店业通过一系列服务属性提供令人愉悦的艺术品所认识到的那样. 本研究采用定性方法来探索对顾客具有审美吸引力的酒店服务要素. 它借鉴了阿多诺的美学理论, 通过美的自主性、社会决定性、批判性和模仿性来更好地理解服务美学. 我们即兴提出了酒店服务美学的概念, 认为在酒店环境中, 美是通过五大主题进行社会调节的: 视觉服务景观、设施奇观、主题装饰、建筑华丽和人文外观. 这项调查也超越了服务景观类型学和先前的美学实证研究, 以确认可以从功能、情感、象征和社会文化角度激发顾客的环境刺激","PeriodicalId":47995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"410 - 444"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43945260","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}

Further, rather than focusing on a single review or a management response to a single review, it focuses on the perceived webcare efforts of a firm as a response to multiple reviews taken together by introducing a new concept, webcare salience, defined as the degree to which webcare is seen in a review set by the review readers or observers.

This omission is particularly intriguing in the context of elderly care homes whereby employee-to-customer interaction is both intense and crucial. Building on a transformative service research perspective, the present study draws on a mixed-methods approach using a sequential quantitative-qualitative design to understand the interface between favorable employee-to-customer interaction, social connectedness, and social well-being. Using data from 267 elderly individuals in care homes combined with data from three focus groups in China, the study confirms the role of favorable employee-to-customer interaction in enhancing the social connectedness of elderly customers. Both employee-to-customer interaction and social connectedness are also found to positively influence elderly customers’ social well-being. Findings from the qualitative study lend support to the proposed theoretical model and further demonstrate how elderly consumers’ social well-being is impacted in a transformative way by favorable interactions with employees. Qualitative findings show how both employees and elderly customers deploy different resources to pursue transformative outcomes of value exchange and value co-creation.
