Conversely, recovery efforts by human staff or a competent robot boost customer forgiveness and satisfaction in response to outcome failures triggered by robots. In addition, perceived role congruity acts as a mediator in the above interaction effects. Moreover, proactive recovery moderates these effects.

Similar outcomes arise when examining the insignificance of static online reviews and review change rates. We find that while customers experiencing hotel service failures are likelier to end their relationships with said hotels as their negative perceptions increase, their experiences are unaffected by the rate at which the hotel implements service innovations.

This research aims to explore the conditions under which instrumental CSR (ICSR) and volunteer CSR (VCSR) foster GIBs, with a focus on the mediating roles of meaningfulness (MGF) and positive emotions (PE) and the moderating effect of perceived sustainability policy (PSP). Utilizing a survey method, data were collected from 430 hotel employees to test the proposed multi-level model. The findings reveal that MGF and PE partially mediate the impact of both ICSR and VCSR on GIBs. Furthermore, PSP was found to significantly enhance the effectiveness of CSR initiatives, particularly when initial levels of ICSR, VCSR, MGF, and PE were low. The study offers theoretical implications by integrating self-determination and need satisfaction theories with CSR research, and practical implications by providing a roadmap for hospitality organizations to strategically leverage CSR for sustainability.
