Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the impact of environmentally sustainable innovation practices on consumer resistance to innovation in eco-hotel enterprises and the moderating influence of value co-creation based on the service-dominant logic and innovation resistance theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the study’s hypotheses on a sample of 382 eco-hotel enterprise consumers surveyed online.

Findings

Results reveal that adopting environmentally sustainable innovation practices and consumers’ participation in value co-creation can negatively influence consumer resistance to innovation. In addition, value co-creation partially moderates the influence of environmentally sustainable innovation practices on consumer resistance to innovation, implying that other variables can influence this relationship. Finally, the results showed that value co-creation is a multidimensional construct with dimensions of meaningfulness, collaboration, contribution, recognition and affective response.

Originality/value

This study contributes significantly to knowledge of value co-creation and innovation resistance in service ecosystems through the lens of sustainability. Incorporating value co-creation as a moderator demonstrates how to address sustainable activities to decrease consumers’ resistance to eco-hotel enterprises’ environmentally sustainable innovation practices. By empirically analyzing these relationships, this study makes various contributions and gives helpful decision-making insights.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate value co-creation, its antecedents (i.e. customer delight and place identity) and the consequences (i.e. satisfaction and revisit intention) at eco-hotels concerning sustainable practices.

Design/methodology/approach

Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the data collected from 562 guests surveyed online who had stayed and contributed to sustainable practices through interaction and collaboration with eco-hotels.

Findings

The results revealed that customer delight and place identity are critical antecedents of value co-creation, significantly influencing guests' intention to revisit. Further, value co-creation significantly influences satisfaction and revisits intention. Satisfaction significantly influenced revisit intentions. Moreover, customer delight was the most critical factor affecting value co-creation, followed by the path between value co-creation and satisfaction. Finally, the results confirmed the mediating role of value co-creation and satisfaction.

Practical implications

This research can support hotel managers in comprehending the motivating factors and outcomes of value co-creation among guests, allowing efficient hotel strategies to be planned and implemented. Managers should prioritize customer delight and place identity to maintain guests' involvement in value co-creation, resulting in satisfaction and a willingness to return.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the literature by tackling the scarcity of research on the significance of value co-creation, its drivers and outcomes at eco-hotels concerning sustainable practices within an emerging market context.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the factors that influence behavioral intention (BI) and usage of e-wallets by extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with constructs, namely, mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach

This quantitative study used partial least squares structural equation modeling on a sample of 576 mobile e-wallet users surveyed online.

Findings

The key findings indicate that the model can explain 58.8% of the variance in behavioral intention and 53.8% in usage. Moreover, mobile self-efficacy has a significant influence on perceived enjoyment. Perceived enjoyment significantly affects satisfaction, effort expectancy and performance expectancy. Furthermore, effort expectancy significantly influences customer satisfaction in contrast to performance expectancy. In addition, although performance expectancy, social influence and satisfaction significantly impact consumers’ behavioral intention, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions condition have an insignificant influence on consumers’ behavioral intention. E-wallet stakeholders can use the findings of this study to make strategic decisions regarding the e-wallet ecosystem.

Originality/value

Although previous studies have independently addressed the impact of mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction on consumers’ behavioral intention and usage behavior, the expanded framework with the possible relationships proposed in this study has never been adequately studied in previous research in the context of e-wallets in developing countries based on an empirical analysis. This study represents one of the first attempts to improve the UTAUT by empirically analyzing these relationships.

Propósito

Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar los factores que influyen en la intención de comportamiento y el uso de los monederos electrónicos mediante la ampliación de la teoría unificada de aceptación y uso de la tecnología (UTAUT) con los constructos de autoeficacia móvil, disfrute percibido y satisfacción.

Metodología

Este estudio cuantitativo utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM) sobre una muestra de 576 usuarios de monederos electrónicos móviles encuestados en línea.

Resultados

Los principales resultados indican que el modelo puede explicar el 58,8% de la varianza en la intención de comportamiento y el 53,8% en el uso. Además, la autoeficacia en el uso del móvil influye significativamente en el disfrute percibido. El disfrute percibido afecta significativamente a la satisfacción, la expectativa de esfuerzo y la expectativa de rendimiento. Además, la expectativa de esfuerzo influye significativamente en la satisfacción del cliente, en contraste con la expectativa de rendimiento. Además, aunque la expectativa de rendimiento, la influencia social y la satisfacción influyen significativamente en la intención de comportamiento de los consumidores, la expectativa de esfuerzo y la condición de condiciones facilitadoras tienen una influencia insignificante en la intención de comportamiento de los consumidores. Las partes interesadas en los monederos electrónicos pueden utilizar las conclusiones de este estudio para tomar decisiones estratégicas en relación con el ecosistema de los monederos electrónicos.

Originalidad

Aunque estudios anteriores han abordado de forma independiente el impacto de la autoeficacia móvil, el disfrute percibido y la satisfacción en la intención de comportamiento y la conducta de uso de los consumidores, el marco ampliado con las posibles relaciones propuestas en este estudio nunca se ha estudiado adecuadamente en investigaciones anteriores en el contexto de los monederos electrónicos en los países en desarrollo sobre la base de un análisis empírico. Este estudio representa uno de los primeros intentos de mejorar el UTAUT analizando empíricamente estas relaciones.

目的

本研究旨在通过扩展统 – 的技术接受和使用理论 (UTAUT), 研究影响电子钱包行为意图和使用的因素, 包括移动自我效能、感知乐趣和满意度等建构。

方法

这项定量研究采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型 (PLS-SEM), 对576名移动电子钱包用户进行了在线调查。

研究结果

主要研究结果表明, 该模型可以解释58.8%的行为意图和53.8%的使用差异。此外, 移动自我效能感对感知到的享受有显著影响。感知到的享受显著影响满意度、努力期望和绩效期望。此外, 与绩效期望相比, 努力期望对顾客满意度有显著影响。此外, 尽管绩效期望、社会影响和满意度对消费者的行为意图有显著影响, 但努力期望和便利条件对消费者的行为意图没有显著影响。电子钱包的利益相关者可以利用本研究的结果来做出有关电子钱包生态系统的战略决策。

原创性

尽管之前的研究已经独立地探讨了移动自我效能、感知享受和满意度对消费者行为意图和使用行为的影响, 但本研究提出的具有可能关系的扩展框架在之前的研究中从未基于实证分析对发展中国家的电子钱包进行充分研究。本研究是通过实证分析这些关系来改进UTAUT的首次尝试之一。
