Qualitative methods were employed to gain deep insights into their approaches to shaping their managerial self-perception. Findings reveal that this social movement has favorably influenced respondents' managerial self-perception, increasing flexibility, compassion, self-awareness, and confidence, while the political upheaval has adversely affected commitment to career. In the aftermath of the recent movement, the interviewees have adopted an increasingly inclusive and less sexist language when discussing themselves and other women, suggesting a promising avenue for future research.

Notably, perceived justice plays a critical role, shifting explanatory power from traits like social responsibility and empathy, highlighting fairness perceptions as central to TCB.

Additionally, we examine how brand familiarity moderates these effects. Our findings reveal that impulsiveness enhances helpfulness, but only for consumers familiar with the brand. Conversely, susceptibility decreases helpfulness for consumers with low brand familiarity. Brand reputation displays a consistent, positive impact on helpfulness, irrespective of familiarity. The impact of helpfulness on booking intentions was stronger for consumers less familiar with the hotel brand.
