The sample consists of 3,948 hotel micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises in the 2012-2015 period and includes variables related to characteristics of the hotel and tourist destination. The results show that the contagion effect is significant, increasing the explanatory capacity of the model. Moreover, the results show that the analysis of the contagion effect should consider not only its simultaneous impact but also that deferred over time on the probability of failure. Thereby, this study found that after the initial shock, the contagion effect decreases and changes its sign from negative to positive in the fourth year.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"482 - 502"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211023804","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43123643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of 314 Chinese outbound travelers, findings of the study suggested that sunk cost, after-sale risk, and downward anticipated regret significantly influence travelers’ impulsive shopping, with downward anticipated regret mediating the relationship between information confusion and impulsive purchase and between sunk cost and impulsive purchase. The study contributes to existing theories and literature for a better understanding of how sunk cost influences outbound travelers’ impulsive shopping behavior from three theoretical perspectives, particularly in a Chinese cultural context. The findings of the study also have important implications for destination stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"549 - 573"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211024450","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44749262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such explicit expressions of anti-Black biases have been linked with servers’ endorsement of racial stereotypes depicting Black Americans as undesirable customers and their self-reported proclivities to withhold effort from their Black clientele. However, there have been limited efforts to advance our understanding of the broader consequences associated with working in an environment wherein Black customers are observed to be stereotyped, denigrated, and mistreated. In response, this research note presents results from an exploratory study assessing the relationships between observing anti-Black expressions in the workplace, employees’ job satisfaction, and their turnover intentions. In two relatively large and demographically diverse samples of current restaurant workers, observing expressions of anti-Black bias in restaurant workplaces was found to be associated with diminished levels of job satisfaction and greater intentions to quit in the next 6 months. This study adds to the growing list of financial and operational costs that restaurant operators are at risk of incurring as a result of some of their employees expressed anti-Black attitudes and discriminatory actions.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"291 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211020098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43433780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is conceptualize a construct of CA in “creative tourism destinations,” as well as to establish a set of reliable and valid measurement tools. In Study 1, we generated initial items through in-depth interviews and content analysis. In Study 2, we collected the first sample and investigated scale factor structure through exploratory factor analysis to obtain five factors: novel atmosphere, joyful atmosphere, artistic atmosphere, hedonic atmosphere, and distinctive atmosphere. A second sample was collected in Study 3 to verify the reliability of the CA scale with confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. This process netted 23 items. A major contribution of this study is to develop a multidimensional scale for CA consisting of the five factors—novel atmosphere, pleasurable atmosphere, artistic atmosphere, hedonic atmosphere, and distinctive atmosphere. The results of this study can be applied as a reference measurement tool for designing creative tourism at tourist destinations.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"590 - 615"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211012459","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46551119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consumers are frequently found reluctant to shift their choice to a subsequent option from their first encountered hotel. The concept of loss aversion can explain this ordering effect. However, there is a knowledge gap about how exactly loss aversion leads to such inertia. The present study provides a more direct measurement of this decision process by examining electrodermal activities and reaction times when consumers are making hotel choices. The choice data provides evidence of reluctance to switch to higher quality hotels, though not to lower rated properties. Such a switch is found emotionally arousing as indicated by consumers’ electrodermal activity. The reaction time data further suggests that the swiftness of such decisions to “trade up” is associated with the greater vigilance and attention, rather than a cognitive conflict caused by the difficult tradeoff between the hotels.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"6 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211025339","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42196863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test the conceptual model, a survey of 494 Chinese golfers was conducted using factor analyses and structural equation modeling. The article further applied a bootstrapping method to test the mediating effects of place attachment. The results indicate that the revisit intention was influenced by the golfers’ perceptions of employee attitudes, destination distinctiveness, and place attachment. It was also found that place attachment mediated these relationships. Finally, the theoretical contributions and industrial implications were discussed.","PeriodicalId":51409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"1652 - 1673"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10963480211016027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44478098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
