This research provides a meta-analytic structural equation modeling (meta-SEM) analysis to explore the distinctive coping types that employees may use when encountering customer mistreatment, as well as the subsequent outcomes. Drawing on the regulatory focus theory and the coping toward customer mistreatment, we categorize various coping strategies into three types (i.e., <em>goal-oriented promotive coping</em>, <em>confrontation-oriented promotive coping</em>, and <em>preventive coping</em>), and propose that these coping types have differential relationships with outcomes. Through a meta-SEM analysis based on 143 articles and 155 independent samples (<em>N</em> = 44,378), we found that these three coping types significantly mediated the mistreatment–outcomes relationships, and that <em>goal-oriented promotive coping</em> was a more beneficial type of coping. This research provides significant implications for employees and organizations to effectively cope with customer mistreatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 105023"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261517724001420/pdfft?md5=ef3034ea788c4d3fe8261d83cc345ed6&pid=1-s2.0-S0261517724001420-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141904869","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}

The model addresses most of the physical, human, environmental, experiential, and operational aspects of the activity, including consumers’ feelings and sustainability concerns. The significance of the variables in the model was proven with the available empirical data. The findings provide a comprehensive description of the underpinnings of whale watchers’ preferences and concerns.

However, few studies have explored the content and formation of destination stereotypes in the crisis context. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting qualitative research based on 34 interviews and 133 online posts. The results reveal four categories of destination stereotypes: unsafe, uncivilized, distanced, and victim. They are affected by seven influencing factors covering event characteristics, government management, individual cognition, psychological proximity, popular behaviors and attitudes, group relations, and information transmission. In addition, an integrative model of the formation of destination stereotypes is suggested to explain the interrelationships and synergistic effects among these influencing factors. This study offers comprehensive insights into destination stereotypes in the context of crisis events and provides implications for destination managers to suppress and weaken stereotypes through crisis management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 105020"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261517724001390/pdfft?md5=f50832889756ec99fd3a7a0d0285ed78&pid=1-s2.0-S0261517724001390-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141891765","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}
