Built on the effort-recovery model and conservation of resource theory, it reveals a two-phase structure of recovery experiences, with three groups of primary experiences leading to specific secondary experiences, which suggests that employees undertake multiple recovery experiences until they reach a state of recovery.

Data was collected from 488 hospitality employees through three experiment studies. The results show that employees feel more enjoyment and less stress when working with non-humanoid (vs. humanoid) robots, leading to higher collaboration intentions. Specifically, the adverse impact of robot-human likeness on employees' intention to collaborate is mitigated where task interdependence is high, and role clarification is better. The research findings offer hospitality organizations valuable insights into the types of robots that service employees are more likely to accept in collaborative work conditions.

Leveraging the multi-motive CSR framework, we aim to (1) synthesize CSR's impact on hospitality employee outcomes (i.e., performance, job satisfaction, and organizational identification); (2) investigate how the instrumental, relational, and moral motives of employees mediate the CSR–employee performance relationship; and (3) test how country-level factors moderate the relationship between CSR employee outcomes. Meta-analytic results using 87 studies, 33,567 individuals, and 160 effect sizes show a positive relationship between CSR and employee outcomes. Further exploring the multi-motive framework, meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) results show that instrumental, relational, and moral motives fully mediated the CSR–employee performance relationship. Additionally, results of subgroup tests indicate that the CSR–employee outcome relationship was stronger for employees working in highly developed countries and horizontal-individualistic cultures.

Qualitative data were gathered via in-depth interviews of 25 tourism entrepreneurs.

We obtained quantitative data through a questionnaire survey (n = 77) targeting tourism SMEs for configuration analysis.
