This study addresses this research gap by exploring how past time perspective influences the behavioral intentions towards green hotels. Findings show that a positive-past time perspective positively affects consumers' green hotel choices, whereas a negative-past time perspective adversely impacts these choices. Further, life satisfaction acts as a mediator in the relationship between past time perspective and behavioral intention towards green hotels. Also, age diminishes the effect of past time perspective on life satisfaction. This study enhances understanding of consumers' green hotel choices and addresses the undervalued aspect of past time perspective in temporal studies. The findings have implications for hotel managers in designing effective marketing strategies that encourage consumers’ green hotel choices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48444,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141915373","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}

Customer incivility is one of its prominent precipitators and therefore calls for an in-depth understanding of the hospitality context. Seeking affective events theory as a theoretical lens, the study seeks to understand how customer incivility creates a negative spiral for employees resulting in undesirable consequences like withdrawal behavior, retaliation, and turnover intention. The moderating role of perceived organizational support in these interactions to mitigate the negative consequences has been investigated. Data was collected from 348 employees working in hotels in the UK and USA and was analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings of the research suggest that customer incivility leads to negative employee emotional reactions of employee withdrawal and retaliation, which contributes to their turnover intention. Perceived organizational support’s moderator effect was confirmed for the association between employee retaliation and turnover intentions, but not for employee withdrawal and turnover intentions. Implications are suggested based on the study findings for minimizing the damages of customer incivility in the hotel industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48444,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141915351","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}

Our findings reveal an asymmetry in the impact of CX based on platform signals: non-signaled providers suffer more from negative experiences than their signaled counterparts, while positive experiences do not exhibit a differential impact. Interestingly, customer-reviewed ratings dampen the adverse effects of negative CX, serving as a substitute for platform endorsement. Moreover, high dispersion in customer feedback enhances the benefits of positive CX for signaled providers.
