Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to predict customers’ intention (INT) to visit green hotels through an extended norm activation model (NAM) framework. The extended NAM includes environmental concern (EC), price consciousness (PC) and aesthetic values (AEV).

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative survey design was used to collect 340 valid responses from customers in Pakistan. Partial least square - structural equation modeling was used to assess the hypothesized relationships.

Findings

The results show that EC and awareness of consequences have a significant ascription of responsibility (AR) and personal norms (PN) towards INT. The results confirmed the moderating effect of PC on the relationship between PN and INT and the moderating effect of AEV on relationship between PN and INT and AR and INT. The findings indicate that PN does not mediate the relationship between AR and INT. These findings indicate that customers are aware of the consequences of resource depletion and environmental pollution that result from the unsustainable hotel practices. Therefore, customers tend to visit aesthetically green hotels at affordable prices.

Practical implications

The study proposes that green hotels should design marketing strategies in a way that increases customers’ awareness and concern towards environmental issues. Marketing campaigns focusing on environmental aspects of green hotels enhance its green reputation and motivate customers to visit green hotels. In addition, managers must consider enhancing the beauty of hotels at a competitive price.

Originality/value

This is the first study to use an extended NAM by integrating EC, average variance extracted and PC to predict customers’ INT towards green hotels. The extended NAM framework provides comprehensive understanding of the relationships between EC, AR and PN regarding visiting green hotels. In addition, the study emphasizes on AEV’s crucial role in influencing customers’ INT to visit green hotels.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the direct impact of various personality traits of the CEO on new product development (NPD) performance, as well as the mediating role of strategic schema changes in the relation among these key variables.

Design/methodology/approach

The research focuses on Chinese science and technology enterprises. A total of 659 valid responses from CEOs and senior managers have been analyzed to test the hypotheses.

Findings

The results reveal that CEO’s conscientiousness and agreeableness negatively correlate with NPD performance and strategic schema changes. CEO traits such as extroversion, openness to experience and emotional stability are positively associated with both variables. Furthermore, the study confirms that strategic schema changes partially mediate the relation between CEO personality traits and NPD performance.

Research limitations/implications

This study focuses only on the relation between CEOs’ Big Five personality traits and NPD performance. However, other personality traits such as narcissism or dark personality traits may also influence NPD performance. Future research should explore the effect of a broader range of CEO personality traits on corporate performance. And, this paper primarily investigates the mediating role of strategic schema change between CEO personality and NPD performance, drawing on personality psychology and strategic cognition. However, other important theoretical perspectives, such as organizational resources and binary learning, may offer additional insights into the relation between CEO personality and NPD performance. Future research could delve deeper into these perspectives at multiple levels for a more comprehensive understanding.

Originality/value

The findings broaden the application of personality psychology within innovation management, offering valuable practical insights and new perspectives for technology enterprises seeking to enhance new product performance.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to propose and test a theoretical model investigating factors that influence travelers’ intention to use travel-related information shared by other travelers through a novel category of travel-focused mobile applications, referred to as travel-tracking mobile applications (TTMAs).

Design/methodology/approach

Data collected from mobile app users who traveled for leisure purposes were used to test an extended version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2, adding trust and privacy concerns as new constructs to the existing framework.

Findings

The current study found empirical and significant evidence that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation and trust positively; and system privacy negatively influenced travelers’ intention to adopt TTMA to follow other travelers’ experiences.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations and directions for future research are widely explored in the final section of this study.

Practical implications

Practical implications for tourism, travel and hospitality technology companies, TTMA developers and entrepreneurs of travel-related and/or location-based mobile applications are discussed following the empirical findings of this study.

Originality/value

The current study findings add to the body of knowledge in the field of travel technology acceptance, and provide practical implications, especially for entrepreneurs and tourism technology vendors.

研究目的

本研究提出并测试了一个理论模型, 以探讨影响旅行者使用由其他旅行者提供的旅行相关信息的意图的因素。该信息通过一种名为“旅行追踪移动应用程序(TTMA)” 的新型旅游应用程序提供。

研究方法

本研究从休闲目的旅行的移动应用用户处收集数据, 测试了扩展版的“统一技术接受与使用模型 2(UTAUT2)”, 并在现有框架中新增了信任和隐私担忧作为构建要素。

研究发现

本研究发现的显著证据表明, 绩效预期、努力预期、享乐动机和信任对旅行者采用TTMA跟随其他旅行者体验的意图有正向影响; 而系统隐私对其意图有负面影响。

研究创新

根据本研究的实证发现, 旅游、旅行和酒店技术公司, TTMA开发者, 以及与旅行或基于位置的移动应用相关的企业家可以从中获得实际应用启示。本研究的结果丰富了旅游技术接受领域的知识体系, 并为企业家和旅游技术供应商, 尤其是旅行科技企业家, 提供了实际应用指导。

Abstract

Purpose

Implementing big data analytics (BDA) for supply chain ambidexterity (agility and adaptability) and green supply chain (GRSC) presents various organizational challenges. These include leveraging BDA capabilities to balance agility and adaptability, integrating this combined approach with GRSC and aligning these efforts to enhance firm performance. This study explores the associations between BDA, supply chain agility and adaptability, GRSC and their impact on firm performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Incorporating a resource-based view and contingency theory, we developed a research framework and validated it with data from 355 Chinese firms. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.

Findings

The findings demonstrate that BDA capabilities had direct impact on supply chain agility and adaptability, GRSC and firm performance. Moreover, the combination of supply chain agility and adaptability affected GRSC; which in turn significantly influenced firm performance. Supply chain agility and adaptability mediated the relationship between BDA capabilities and GRSC. Additionally, GRSC mediated the relationship between BDA capabilities, supply chain agility and adaptability and firm performance.

Originality/value

This study offers both a theoretical and empirical examination of the relationships between BDA capabilities, supply chain agility and adaptability, GRSC and firm performance. By assessing the direct and mediating effects of these factors on China’s industrial sector, it presents new theoretical and practical insights into BDA and GRSC, thereby enhancing the value of the existing literature.
