ChatGPT could be used to generate human-like MRs for online service recovery but this could backfire due to algorithm aversion when an individual discounts algorithm decisions relative to human-made decisions. Data collected via interviews, a modified Turing test and an online experiment provide empirical support for this. Findings reveal that potential customers could not clearly differentiate between the two types of MR and could not clearly identify the ‘better’ of the two. Yet, when informed of the MR source, ChatGPT MRs led to lower affective, cognitive and conative outcomes. Findings also unveiled perceived authenticity and uncanniness as significant parallel mediating pathways in this algorithm aversion. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 105057"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271549","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}

This study investigated the influence of internet self-efficacy on destination choice preferences among senior tourists. Through five experiments, we discovered that higher levels of internet self-efficacy among seniors led to a pronounced preference for desirability, whereas those with lower levels were inclined towards feasibility. This effect is mediated by the sense of autonomy that internet self-efficacy instills. This inclination holds true only for seniors with a fixed (vs. growth) mindset and when they travel with an incompetent (vs. competent) companion. These findings significantly contribute to the empirical investigation of senior tourist decision-making in the digital environment, providing valuable empirical insights for practitioners seeking to target the senior market.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 105056"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142242482","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}

However, the impact of this information control has been underexplored. Drawing upon the communication privacy management theory and leveraging a unique Airbnb panel dataset from multiple sources, this study investigates the effect of partial location information concealment on property sales performance. Findings show that partially concealing location information leads to an 18.4% increase in occupancy rates compared to disclosing specific location details. Additionally, the effect of location concealment is contingent upon co-owner responsibility boundaries (i.e., host identity verification, guest screening), as well as environmental density boundaries (i.e., population density, listing density). Furthermore, a scenario-based experiment confirms the main effect, and reveals that guests’ sense of control and perceived risks serve as the underlying mechanisms driving this direct effect.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 105037"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142242480","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 research proposes that GHRM and ESTFL positively interact in the supplementary fit to shape team green behavior through team green priority climate, whereas they negatively interact in the complementary fit to shape team green behavior through team green psychological climate. The proposed model was tested using two independent surveys including Chinese (Study 1) and US (Study 2) tourism and hospitality employees. The findings support the research hypotheses.

Machine learning–based survival analysis shows that models integrating fine-grained review variance (i.e., review rating variance, overall review sentiment variance, and fine-grained review sentiment variance) outperform models that do not account for these factors in restaurant survival prediction before and during the pandemic. Furthermore, in most cases, expert reviews hold stronger predictive power for pre-pandemic restaurant survival than non-expert and all forms of reviews.
