Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to extend the technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine whether the introduction of robots influences employees’ behavioral intentions to use robots and awareness of robots to promote human–robot collaboration (HRC). Besides, the role of strategic human resource management (HRM) involvement as a moderator in the perception of robots as a team member was investigated.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 500 respondents via the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform. After data cleaning, 329 valid responses were analyzed. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was applied using Smart PLS Ver. 3.0 to test the study’s measurement and proposed research model.

Findings

The study results show that robots’ perceived usefulness and ease of use positively influence employees’ behavioral intentions to use robots. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of robots have a positive impact on robot awareness. Employees’ behavioral intentions and awareness contribute positively to HRC. On the other hand, the moderating role of strategic human resources (HR’s) involvement in the relationships was insignificant.

Research limitations/implications

This study provides an exclusively applied understanding of robot presence and embodiment relevant to real-world HRC. In the travel, tourism and hospitality (TTH) industry, employees’ intention to use robots and robot awareness are significant factors. However, HRM involvement without the acceptance of robots could not enhance HRC.

Originality/value

Based on the literature review, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first on this topic and extends TAM with new antecedents related to robot use, robot awareness and HRC in the TTH industry. In addition, this model attempts to determine the factors that favor HRC in the industry. This study also assessed the moderating role of strategic HR’s involvement in the behavioral intention of robot use, robot awareness and HRC.

研究目的

由于高科技领域的快速扩张, 机器人成为旅行、旅游和酒店业的传统。因此, 本文旨在研究是否机器人的采用会影响员工的离职意愿和人机协作和人力资源管理在激励员工与机器人团队合作方面的作用。

研究设计/方法/途径

本研究采用定量方法。总共 500本研究的数据是通过 MTurk 平台收集, 但其中, (n = 329)是最终确定样本量, 并应用基于偏最小二乘的结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)使用 Smart PLS Ver. 3 检验研究的测量和关系模型

研究发现

该研究的结果确定了机器人的有用性和易用性人机协作对员工行为意向的积极影响, 除此之外, 机器人的优势和劣势尽管对意识产生积极影响, 但员工的意识不影响人机协作。以及 HRM 战略参与的角色对员工意愿的影响并不充分且积极。

研究理论贡献

这项研究对员工的机器人的使用意图和人力资源管理在机器人采用和激励决策中的员工进行协作提供了应用性的理解。意识是对员工离职的一项动态担忧; 因此, 人力资源管理应该确保采用机器人对员工有帮助

研究原创性/价值

这是第一项有条不紊地研究人力资源管理在旅行、旅游和酒店研究中的人机协作。这项研究对员工重要性以及先进的旅游技术进行了传播。

Abstract

Purpose

In spite of the increased interest of academics, there has not been a thorough examination of the actors and factors of accessible tourism (AT) development. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between stakeholders’ attitudes, collaborative intervention and corporate sustainability and responsibility (CS&R) and the implementation of accessible tourism (IAT).

Design/methodology/approach

Focus group discussion, an expert content validity test and structural equation modelling were all used as part of a mixed-methods approach. At the longest sea beach in the world, located in Bangladesh, data was collected from the tourism stakeholders using an on-site questionnaire survey.

Findings

Stakeholders’ attitude is significantly related to their collaborative intervention, but accessibility inclusive corporate substantiality and responsibility (AICSR) mediates the relationships between attitude and implementation, as well as collaborative intervention and implementation. As a result, AICSR is identified as a key driver in the IAT.

Research limitations/implications

Purposive sampling was used to select stakeholders from Bangladesh’s most popular tourist destination. Nonetheless, the statistically valid model of this exploratory study can be tested for generalization in other contexts with a large sample size. The findings will bring diverse stakeholders to light and encourage barrier-free tourist growth that could improve the destinations’ comparative advantage and competitiveness.

Originality/value

This study is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, one of the first studies to use rigorous quantitative methods to investigate AT implementation with a focus on CS&R. It adds to the existing AT literature by providing a scale and model of IAT while highlighting the extent to which AT can be implemented within CS&R.

目的

尽管学术界对无障碍旅游发展的参与者和因素越来越感兴趣, 但还没有相关研究对此领域进行彻底的调查。本研究的目的是调查利益相关者的态度、协作干预、企业可持续性和责任 (CS&R) 与实行无障碍旅游 (IAT)之间的关系。

研究设计/方法/途径

本文采用的混合研究方法包括了焦点小组讨论、专家内容有效性测试和结构方程模型 (SEM)。在位于孟加拉国的世界上最长的海滩上, 我们通过现场问卷调查从旅游利益相关者那里收集了数据。

结果

利益相关者的态度与其协作干预显著相关, 但企业可持续性和责任的无障碍包容性(AICSR)在态度与实施以及协作干预与实施之间的关系中起中介作用。因此, AICSR 被确定为实施无障碍旅游的关键驱动力。

研究局限/应用

立意抽样法用于从孟加拉国最受欢迎的旅游目的地选择利益相关者。尽管如此, 该探索性研究的统计有效模型可以在具有大样本量的其他情况下进行泛化测试。调查结果将揭示不同的利益相关者, 并鼓励无障碍的旅游增长, 从而提高目的地的比较优势和竞争力。

原创性/价值

本文是最早以CS&R为重点, 使用严格的定量方法调查实行无障碍旅游的研究之一。它通过提供 IAT 的规模和模型来补充现有的无障碍旅游文献, 同时强调无障碍旅游可以在 CS&R 中实施的程度。

Propósito

A pesar del creciente interés de los académicos, no se han examinado a fondo los actores y factores del desarrollo del turismo accesible. El propósito de este estudio es investigar las relaciones entre las actitudes de los actores, la intervención colaborativa y la sostenibilidad y responsabilidad corporativa (RSC) y la implementación del turismo accesible (ITA).

Diseño/Metodología/enfoque

El estudio utiliza un enfoque de métodos mixtos que incluye una discusión de grupo focal, una prueba de validez de contenido de expertos y un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (MEE). En la playa marítima más larga del mundo, situada en Bangladesh, se recogieron datos de los agentes turísticos mediante una encuesta con cuestionario in situ.

Hallazgos

La actitud de las partes interesadas está significativamente relacionada con su intervención colaborativa, pero la sustancialidad y la responsabilidad corporativa inclusiva de la accesibilidad (SRCIA) media las relaciones entre la actitud y la implementación, así como la intervención colaborativa y la implementación. Como resultado, la SRCIA se identifica como un factor clave en la implementación del turismo accesible.

Limitación de la investigación

Se utilizó un muestreo discrecional para seleccionar a las partes interesadas del destino turístico más popular de Bangladesh. No obstante, el modelo estadísticamente válido de este estudio exploratorio puede probarse para su generalización en otros contextos con una muestra grande. Las conclusiones mostrarán diversos grupos de interés y fomentarán el crecimiento del turismo sin barreras que podría mejorar la ventaja comparativa y la competitividad de los destinos.

Originalidad/valor

Se trata de uno de los primeros estudios que utilizan métodos cuantitativos rigurosos para investigar la implantación del turismo accesible centrándose en la RSC. Contribuye a la bibliografía existente sobre turismo accesible al proporcionar una escala y un modelo de ITA, al tiempo que pone de relieve hasta qué punto se puede implementar el turismo accesible dentro de la RSC.

Abstract

Purpose

Collaborative consumption has caught researchers’ attention due to its rapid growth. Drawing on the causal relationship between cognition, affection and conation and collaborative consumption literature, this paper aims to investigate the drivers of brand loyalty and revisit intentions in the context of Airbnb.

Design/methodology/approach

The data was collected from 399 Airbnb users using the online survey. Partial least square structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Mediation tests were conducted with multiple mediation analyses.

Findings

The study reveals that brand likeability enhanced by customers’ trust in both hosts and Airbnb drives satisfaction, brand loyalty and revisit intention. Moreover, satisfaction impacts revisit intention through a full mediation of brand loyalty.

Research limitations/implications

The role that trust and likability play in enhancing brand loyalty and the intention to revisit is not well documented in the literature on collaborative consumption. The results show that consumers’ trust (cognition) is the first step to the success of collaborative consumption, and consumers’ trust in both platform and hosts will make the Airbnb brand more attractive and likable. When brand likability (affection) grows deeper through more engagement, consumers are more willing (intention) to spend more time staying in Airbnb accommodation.

Originality/value

Although existing literature discusses trust from the consumers’ standpoint and categorizes it into two types, the influence of trust on brand likability has never been tested before. Based on the causal relationship between cognition, affection and conation, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first one investigating trust in both the platform and hosts as key drivers of brand likability, which enhances customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and revisit intentions in the Airbnb context.

研究目的

协作消费由于其快速增长而引起了研究人员的关注。 基于文献中对于认知、情感和意向与协作消费之间的因果关系, 本文调查了 Airbnb 背景下品牌忠诚度和重访意图的驱动因素。

研究设计/方法/途

数据是通过在线调查从 399 名 Airbnb 用户那里收集的。 PLS-SEM 用于检验假设。 中介测试通过多重中介分析进行。

研究发

研究表明, 客户对房东和 Airbnb 的信任增强了品牌喜爱度, 从而提高了满意度、品牌忠诚度和重访意愿。 此外, 满意度通过品牌忠诚度的全面调节影响重访意愿。

究原创性

然已有文献从消费者的角度讨论信任并将其分为两种类型, 但信任对品牌好感度的影响从未被检验过。 基于认知、情感和意向之间的因果关系, 本文首次调查了平台和房东的信任作为品牌好感度的关键驱动因素, 从而提高了 Airbnb 背景下的客户满意度、品牌忠诚度和重访意愿。

Abstract

Purpose

By highlighting the important role of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in readdressing the competitive balance between tourism small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms, this paper serves as a call to action to governments, regional tourism organisations and other policy-level stakeholders to facilitate more rapid diffusion of the developing smart tourism concept, helping to support tourism agenda 2030 and multiple UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Design/methodology/approach

Reviewing the literature on ICT use in tourism, this paper builds a case for deploying smart tourism to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs.

Findings

Without a collaborative approach, tourism SMEs are unlikely to use emerging technologies effectively to compete against larger peers and online platforms. By adopting a smart tourism approach, network effects between stakeholders can trump scale, allowing SMEs to compete more effectively and destinations to promote inclusivity and sustainable economic growth.

Originality/value

Highlighting the pivotal role that ICTs in general and Smart Tourism in particular can play in addressing the competitive imbalance between SMEs and larger players, this paper serves as a call for action for governments’ regional tourism organisations and other policy-level stakeholders to hasten their adoption of smart tourism principles as a means of supporting tourism agenda 2030 and furthering the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to analyze the spillover effects between online food delivery providers’ (OFDs) performance and restaurant brands. It proposed a model of three determinants for e-satisfaction with OFDs and related these variables to restaurants’ brand satisfaction, image and loyalty.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey was designed, and 332 responses from delivery apps users in Ecuador were collected. A partial least squares structural equations model was applied.

Findings

The three proposed determinants of OFD satisfaction were significant: e-service quality, personal aspects of delivery workers and perceived food quality. Regarding the spillover effects, e-service quality and personal aspects had an influence on perceived food quality, mediating a chain of effects on restaurants’ brand satisfaction, image and loyalty.

Research limitations/implications

Data were collected before COVID-19. Further studies will need to be undertaken in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic because minimal contact between delivery workers and customers is expected. In addition, food quality perceptions may include new concerns about biosafety norms.

Practical implications

Practices aiming to improve the service experience with OFDs are suggested, including proper training, supervision and improvement of delivery workers’ conditions. On the other hand, because restaurants do not control OFD’s performance, their contractual agreements should focus on avoiding service failures that erode restaurants’ brand equity.

Originality/value

This paper fulfills the need to study the spillover effects in the context of the collaborative economy, where delivery companies, delivery workers and restaurants work together to provide a service, and the performance of one of the parties impacts the consumers’ perceptions of the other party.

研究目的

本调查旨在分析在线食品配送提供商 (OFD) 绩效与餐厅品牌之间的溢出效应。 它提出了 OFD 电子满意度的三个决定因素模型, 并将这些变量与餐厅的品牌满意度、形象和忠诚度相关联。

研究设计/方法/途径

本研究设计了一项调查, 并收集了来自厄瓜多尔交付应用程序用户的 332 份回复。 应用PLS结构方程模型。

研究发现

OFD 满意度的三个拟议决定因素非常重要:电子服务质量、送货员的个人方面和感知的食品质量。 关于溢出效应, 电子服务质量和个人方面对感知食品质量有影响, 调节对餐厅品牌满意度、形象和忠诚度的连锁影响。

研究研究局限性/影响

本研究数据是在 COVID-19 之前收集。 由于预计送货员和顾客之间的接触最少, 因此需要在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下进行进一步研究。 此外, 食品质量认知可能包括生物安全规范的新担忧。

实践意义

本研究建议采取旨在改善 OFD 服务体验的做法, 包括适当的培训、监督和改善送货工人的条件。 另一方面, 由于餐厅不控制 OFD 的绩效, 因此他们的合同协议应着重于避免服务失败而损害餐厅的品牌资产。

研究原创性/价值

本文满足了研究协作经济背景下溢出效应的需要, 在这种情况下, 送货公司、送货工人和餐馆共同提供服务, 其中一方的表现会影响消费者的 对方的看法。

Abstract

Purpose

Internet-based business-to-business electronic procurement (B2B e-procurement) systems are rapidly becoming the primary platform for interorganizational transactions and the delivery of products and services in the travel and tourism industries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) and implementation strategies for B2B e-procurement systems in travel agency supply chains.

Design/methodology/approach

This study developed a multifaceted evaluation framework that draws on the relevant literature and the technology–organization–environment framework. The CSFs underlying B2B e-procurement adoption were identified using hybrid criteria decision-making methods. Purposive sampling was used, and 49 valid questionnaires were obtained from retail travel agencies in Taiwan.

Findings

The results reveal that the top four CSFs are system stability, system reliability, sales dynamics and product line availability. By focusing on these CSFs, travel wholesalers can most effectively allocate their limited resources to provide an extensive range of products and services to their clients, improve e-procurement services and enhance interorganizational collaboration in travel agency supply chains.

Originality/value

This study developed a multifaceted evaluation framework and identified four CSFs to assist in the adoption of B2B e-procurement systems in travel agency supply chains.

研究目的

基于 Internet 的企业对企业电子采购(B2B 电子采购)系统正迅速成为旅行和旅游业中组织间交易以及产品和服务交付的主要平台。 因此, 本研究的目的是调查旅行社供应链中 B2B 电子采购系统的关键成功因素 (CSF) 和实施策略。

研究设计/方法/途径

本研究开发了一个多方面的评估框架, 该框架借鉴了相关文献和技术-组织-环境框架。 采用混合标准决策 (MCDM) 方法确定了采用 B2B 电子采购的 CSF。 采用有目的的抽样方式, 共从台湾零售旅行社获得49份有效问卷。

研究发现

结果显示, 排名前四的 CSF 是系统稳定性、系统可靠性、销售动态和产品线可用性。 通过关注这些 CSF, 旅游批发商可以最有效地分配其有限资源, 为其客户提供范围广泛的产品和服务, 改善电子采购服务, 并加强旅行社供应链中的组织间协作

研究原创性/价值

本研究开发了一个多方面的评估框架, 并确定了四个 CSF, 以协助在旅行社供应链中采用 B2B 电子采购系统。

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to design an algorithm to predict hotel profitability by means of deep learning techniques.

Design/methodology/approach

The methodology consists of a multi-layered neural network that includes a lag of profitability as the input. Furthermore, other input variables are related to hotel and tourist destinations; the raw data for hotel and tourist destinations were collected from multiple public access data sources.

Findings

The results show that the proposed model has a high predictive capacity of hotel profitability in all the years studied (2005-2011), according to the performance metrics evaluated within the sample. Thus, the authors can conclude that deep learning algorithms can be a useful tool to evaluate hotel performance.

Practical implications

The algorithm designed in this research could be of interest to improve decision-making processes related to profitability, for example, in evaluating the creation of new hotels. Moreover, the model provides a quick and efficient analyses that could be of interest to investors and lenders. In particular, they could compare investment alternatives in the hotel sector. Also, according to the results, the location variables are important determinants of hotel profitability, and consequently, hotel managers should collaborate with the tourist destination managers to improve profitability. From an internal perspective, hotel managers should focus on the management of human resources.

Originality/value

This paper is the first empirical study that predicts hotel profitability using deep learning techniques. In addition, this methodology is applied to analyse hotel profitability, for the first time, in the Spanish market. This market is an ideal analytical framework because of its heterogeneity with respect to hotel supply in terms of seasonality and coastal characteristics, among others.

研究目的

本论文旨在设计一种数算制度通过深度学习的机制来预测酒店盈利性。

研究设计/方法/途径

本论文采用多层神经网络、以盈利时间区间作为单位, 来进行计算。此外, 其他关于酒店和旅游目的地的数据因子也包含在研究范围内;研究样本包括酒店和旅游目的地的原数据, 这些数据通过多方公开数据渠道获得。

研究结果

研究结果表明提出的数算制度模型对于所有年份(2005-2011)的酒店盈利性研究有显著预测功效。此判定是由数据样本的效益矩阵得出。因此, 我们能够形成结论:深度学习的数算制度可以作为衡量酒店效益的有力工具。

研究实践意义

本论文设计的数算制度对于提高盈利性的决策过程有很大意义, 比如评估新酒店建成后效益等。此外, 本论文设计的模型对于投资者和贷款方做出快速和有效分析有着显著意义。特别是这个模型能够使得他们在酒店业中对多个投资方案做横向比较。此外, 根据结果表明地理位置因素对于酒店盈利性占据重要位置, 因此, 酒店经理应该与旅游目的地经理协作来提高酒店盈利性。从酒店内部管理角度出发, 酒店经理应该着重人力资源的管理。

研究原创性/价值

本论文是首个实证研究通过深度学习技术来预测酒店盈利性。此外, 这种研究方法也是首次在西班牙市场实证分析酒店盈利性。西班牙市场是理想的分析样本, 因为其由于季节性和海岸特点的酒店市场的多样性。
