Emergent research has considered the impacts on operational staff.

This paper examines key factors that will affect the comprehension and enactment of managerial roles within algorithmically managed hotels, drawing on a three-stage Delphi study with hotel managers and academic experts, built on the Competing Values Framework. The findings stress that Algorithmic Management’s impact on productivity and process standardisation will intensify work demands, and risk stifling employee motivation and collaboration. Hence, managers must evolve from controllers to supportive actors, improving understanding, facilitating employee empowerment and aiding transparency in algorithmic decisions. We conceptualise these functions as communication, performance, social and creative facilitation. The findings are used to theorise how emerging socio-technological arrangements will transform line management, driving the expansion of translational work and the emergence of what we call ‘algorithmic coaching’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48444,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hospitality Management","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104168"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143678259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural capital at the macro-level and physical capital at the meso-level support retrospective resilience.

However, the RFM values should be calculated by considering the transaction characteristics of the Rooms, Food and Beverage, and Banquet divisions of the hotel. Therefore, this study proposes two-stage clustering with RFM analysis to profile profitable customers. The purpose of first and second-stage clustering is to find active and profitable customers and analyze their transaction characteristics, respectively.

A mixed-method approach was adopted, including 35 interviews with crew members who were experienced in working with these technologies and passengers, followed by a survey of 358 passengers who had used these technologies. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using MaxQda2020, while quantitative data was analyzed using SmartPLS4. The findings from interviews corroborated the seven facets of T-cruiscape, which were then considered in the main study. T-cruiscape acting as stimuli can generate flow experience and, subsequently, passengers' subjective well-being through desirable feelings. The discomfort passengers feel when using technology can strengthen the relationship between the T-cruiscape and the flow experience.

This study aims to empirically assess the impact of overbooking on hotel performance and to compare the effectiveness of different overbooking approaches. Using real hotel performance data from multiple properties, we conducted t-tests and weight-adjusted regression analyses employing Huber/White sandwich estimators to evaluate the relationship between overbooking strategies and RevPAR indices. We find that overbooking hotels appear to outperform those that don’t, and that the less common, short-term oriented, risk-based method to set overbooking levels is associated with higher RevPAR Indices.
