However, limited research has explored how poor logistics service quality (LSQ) can trigger customer complaints. This study systematically discusses the complex causal relationship between poor LSQ and customer complaints based on the expectation-disconfirmation theory, through analyzing 200 typical cases collected from China's professional online consumer dispute mediation platforms. Six categories of poor LSQ contributing to customer complaints were identified through text mining: insecurity, uneconomic, unreliable, untimely, low information quality, and low contact quality using the grounded theory approach. In the second stage, five valid strong association rules were generated using association rule mining (ARM), demonstrating that the factors leading to customer complaints were interrelated rather than independent. Specifically, the \"delayed delivery\" indicator of untimely is associated with the \"outdated information\" indicator of low information quality; the \"long transport times\" and “delayed delivery” indicators of untimely are associated with the \"poor service attitude\" indicator of low contact quality; the \"damaged goods\" indicator of insecurity is associated with the \"unguaranteed goods claims\" indicator of unreliable, and the \"outdated information\" indicator of low information quality is associated with the \"poor service attitude\" indicator of low contact quality. These findings enable cross-border e-commerce practitioners and logistics service providers to implement targeted strategies to promote LSQ, minimizing customers' negative expectation disconfirmation and reducing customer complaints.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104237"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170378","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}

Utilizing a structured, dual-model framework, we analyse the complex relationships between key socio-economic determinants, such as income, education, age, gender, and environmental consciousness, and sustainable behaviours, including recycling, green product searches, and engagement with eco-friendly practices. The methodology combines two machine learning models to achieve both detailed analysis and interpretability. The primary model, based on the Tabular Network Regressor (TabNet), captures nuanced, high-dimensional interactions across socio-economic variables, while the secondary, interpretive model, using the Categorical Boosting Regressor (catBoost), simplifies these insights without compromising accuracy, making findings accessible for policy-oriented applications. Our results reveal that income, education, and environmental consciousness are significant predictors of carbon footprint awareness. Moreover, consumers who regularly engage in sustainable actions, such as recycling or searching for eco-friendly products, exhibit heightened awareness of their environmental impact, underscoring the influence of habitual eco-conscious behaviours. Through a Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis, this study enhances the interpretability of results, providing a clear, data-driven understanding of how specific socio-economic factors contribute to sustainable consumer actions.

However, concerns about deception and misinformation voiced by consumers, ad agencies, and governments have led to mandates to disclose AI-generated content. Given the importance of visual advertising for service tangibilization, whether services marketers should use GenAI to advertise services, and how, is a pressing question that this paper investigates. We apply a source credibility framework to explore factors in GenAI service ad design that influence trust toward the service provider and ad attitudes. Three experiments uncover that AI disclosures result in lower trust and less positive ad attitudes. Ads designed to focus on intangible attributes (e.g., a dentist's image) are less effective relative to ads focusing on tangible attributes (e.g., a dentist's equipment) when an AI disclosure is present. However, trust and ad attitudes can be restored when AI is selectively used to generate an ad's tangible attributes, but not the intangible (e.g., a real dentist at an AI-generated office). Our findings thus provide concrete guidance on how services marketers can use AI to enjoy the cost and speed benefits of AI ad development while preserving trust and ad attitudes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104231"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171752","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}

Customers with a Positive Attitude towards Technology (PAT) demonstrate a clear preference for virtual agents that prioritize efficiency and minimal intrusion, aligning with their technological affinity and expectations for streamlined service. Conversely, individuals with a high Need for Human Interaction (NHI) derive significant benefits from social support, particularly in the context of simple tasks. Interestingly, for such straightforward interactions, the source of support—whether human or virtual—is less critical to satisfaction, provided the interaction meets the social needs of the customer. However, the dynamic shifts when tasks become more complex. In these scenarios, human support becomes indispensable for NHI customers, as virtual agents frequently fall short of delivering the interactional depth and nuanced understanding required for more challenging service exchanges. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring support systems to the affective and interactional preferences of customers. Businesses and designers of support systems should consider these distinctions when implementing virtual agent solutions, ensuring that such systems can accommodate the diverse needs of their users. By doing so, organizations can enhance user satisfaction, optimize support effectiveness, and foster stronger relationships with their customers.

This paper investigates the online retailers’ hybrid packaging ordering strategy and the reusable packaging service platform’s pricing strategy by analyzing a comprehensive dataset of 456,548 transaction records over 145 weeks. Two decision support models (the separated and integrated models) are proposed by integrated data-driven and game-theoretical methods for optimizing the ordering and pricing decisions of reusable packaging. The results illustrate that the integrated model always performs superior to the separated model in terms of promoting reusable packaging adoption, and the profits of the online retailer and the service platform. Furthermore, government subsidies can enhance the adoption of reusable packaging by online retailers, but excessive subsidies may lead to over-ordering especially when the use cost of reusable packaging is low. Plastic taxes can also incentivize online retailers to embrace reusable packaging, but the incentive effect diminishes as the taxes increase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104222"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171750","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}

The first pathway includes perceived expertise and credibility, whereas the second pathway involves aesthetic appeal. In two studies, we examine the effects of influencer attractiveness in three distinct product categories: health, beauty, and technology. The results reveal three main findings: (a) the impact of an influencer's attractiveness on perceived credibility depends on the product category; (b) higher perceived attractiveness consistently enhances perceptions of influencer expertise across all product categories; and (c) in addition to source credibility, aesthetic appeal plays a critical role in linking attractiveness to persuasion success.
