公众对旅游企业停止慈善性社会责任的响应研究

旅游企业社会责任研究是一个十分重要的研究领域.目前,关于旅游企业社会责任的相关研究尚停留在如何承担的阶段,关于如何停止社会责任的议题尚处于空白,需要学者们的更多重视.为了弥补该研究空缺,文章对旅游企业停止慈善性生社会责任的公众响应进行了研究.该研究使用消费者实验的方法,针对慈善性社会责任,设计3个实验对4个研究假设进行实证检验.研究发现:1)当旅游企业停止承担慈善性社会责任时,会显著降低公众对旅游企业的态度评价;2)相对于利他主义动机,利己主义动机感知会增强停止慈善性社会责任带来的公众态度下降程度;3)相对于被动停止,主动停止的慈善性生社会责任会增强公众对旅游企业态度评价的下降程度;4)相对于短时间,停止长时间的慈善性社会责任会增强公众对旅游企业态度的下降程度.最后,为旅游企业提出了针对性的意见和建议.     

我国酒店业企业社会责任实践研究——对酒店集团15强CSR公开信息的内容分析

我国酒店业企业社会责任(corporate social responsibility,CSR)实践快速发展,迫切需要与之相关的理论研究.为了解我国酒店集团CSR实践的现状与特点,文章聚焦酒店集团CSR信息披露内容的研究,通过对我国规模最大的15家酒店管理公司CSR公开信息的内容分析,发现样本企业CSR实践主要有以下几大特点:①慈善捐助(特别是灾难性救济)、志愿者活动、创建绿色旅游饭店、节能降耗是样本企业CSR实践的主要内容;②样本企业把政府接待、支持政府工作看成是企业对政府责任的重要组成内容;③社区和社会、环境、员工、政府与客户等5大利益相关者是样本企业负责的主要对象,而对供应商、同行、债权人等利益相关者的责任,样本企业关注较少;④样本企业开始将CSR与企业核心业务关联,战略性CSR实践初露端倪;⑤企业官方网站新闻报道是样本企业披露CSR信息的主要方式,而独立的CSR报告或专栏被样本企业采用的较少.     

旅游企业社会责任对目的地形象及游客忠诚的影响研究

在旅游市场竞争日趋激烈的背景下,由旅游企业经营所引发的社会责任问题受到广泛关注,但学界关于旅游企业社会责任的影响研究还不够系统和深入.文章将旅游企业社会责任划分为6个方面,将目的地形象划分为认知形象和情感形象两个方面,并构建了旅游企业社会责任对目的地形象及游客忠诚的影响模型.实证研究表明,旅游企业社会责任在目的地形象及游客忠诚形成中发挥非常重要的作用,其中,经济责任、环境责任、游客责任、员工责任和法律责任对认知形象有正向影响,游客责任、员工责任和慈善责任对情感形象有正向影响;认知形象和情感形象不仅对游客忠诚产生直接影响,而且通过游客满意对游客忠诚产生间接作用.相比认知形象,情感形象对游客满意和忠诚的影响作用更大.     

基于fsQCA的旅游上市企业社会责任投资分配策略

旅游业的综合性特点使得旅游企业在社会责任的投资分配上有异于其他企业。文章基于利益相关者理论,以和讯网社会责任评测数据库2010—2019年的42家A股旅游上市企业为研究样本,运用模糊集定性比较分析方法(fsQCA),探究多重维度及地理位置和股权性质异质下的最优社会责任投资分配策略。结果表明：股东维度在策略组合中处于首要位置;在纳入地理位置和股权性质作为情境因素后,位于中心城市的旅游企业具有较为多元的投资分配策略,国有旅游企业在供应商和消费者、环境维度上关注较少;非国有和非中心城市旅游企业需履行更为全面的社会责任。

Hospitality Managers' Perception of Corporate Social Responsibility: An Explorative Study

In recent years, many factors have influenced the hotel industry to identify areas of social concern most beneficial to it. Staff incentives, rewards, community involvement, and charitable activities, coinciding with increased management and staff education concerning internal and external social responsibilities, have increased. The objective of this study is to investigate how hotel leaders from Hong Kong in high-tier and medium-tier hotels attempt to influence employees' behaviour to act in a more socially responsible manner towards their companies and communities. It highlights both leaders' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) behaviour of their employees and the instruments used to influence that behaviour. As a first step, this study aims to determine hotel managers' perception of leadership styles and their interpretation of the CSR role in the industry and community. Managers differ in leadership styles, thereby influencing their employees' perception of the CSR role in industry and community. Findings have shown that CSR awareness is deeply incorporated into high-tier Hong Kong hotels where community involvement is particularly strong.     

Corporate Social Responsibility and the Operationalization Challenge for Global Tourism Organizations

Tourism businesses have increasingly sought to contribute to society through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Larger tourism organizations normally seek to institutionalize CSR under their corporate CSR policy and strategy that is common for their whole organization. This presents challenges for organizations with global operations. This article examines the operationalization of CSR policy by hotel properties in coastal destinations in Thailand. The research found that stakeholders other than the hotels played pivotal roles in the implementation of CSR programs and that there was a preference for involvement by hotels in local projects, over those situated elsewhere in the country or internationally. These hotels tended to partner with other non-hotel stakeholders to execute their external CSR programs and for these to be directed at social issues rather than environmental issues. Overall it was concluded that there are limits to the extent that corporate headquarters may direct the implementation of CSR.     

Barriers to the Implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility in Gaming Industry

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an important tool to reduce the adverse impact of the gaming industry. There were very limited studies specifically analyzed barriers of CSR practice in the gaming industry. This study adopted in-depth interviews and verified the interviews by dividing two informant groups. The results showed that cognitive dissonance, negative image, management dilemma, resources limitation, confused regulations, and unsustainable impetus were the major barriers in CSR implementation. Furthermore, the practical recommendations and suggestions were discussed.     

Airline Travelers' Causal Attribution of Service Failure and Its Impact on Trust and Loyalty Formation: The Moderating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility

This study examines airline travelers' causal attribution (stability and controllability) and its impact on trust and loyalty formation and investigates the moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this process. Based on a literature review, theoretical relationships between stability, controllability, CSR, trust, and loyalty were derived, and the moderating effects of CSR on relationships between stability/controllability and trust/loyalty were examined. To empirically test these theoretical relationships, quantitative data were collected from 271 airline passengers who experienced a service failure in the past year. The results provide support for effects of stability and controllability on trust as well as the effect of stability on loyalty. In addition, the perception of CSR had positive effects on trust and loyalty. Finally, a favorable CSR perception weakened the negative effects of a service failure on trust and loyalty, particularly when the failure was attributed to a stable cause. The results highlight the important role of CSR in service failure situations and have important implications for airline managers.     

How do consumers’ perceptions differ across dimensions of corporate social responsibility and hotel types?

This study develops three hypotheses regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of the hotel industry. First, the study examines a ranking of consumers’ perceived importance of the four CSR dimensions proposed by Carroll’s hierarchy of CSR in 1991, expecting the following orders: philanthropic, ethical, legal, and economic dimensions, from most to least important. Second, the study investigates the relationship between consumers’ perceived importance of and their overall support for CSR. Third, the study introduces the type of hotel (for example, economy, mid-scale, and upscale) as a moderator to provide a better explanation of the relationship between consumers’ perceived importance of the CSR dimensions and support for CSR. Contributions to the CSR literature in general, and also specifically relating to the hotel context, and managerial implications are discussed.     

“ENTER2008”: Report on the 15th International Conference on Information Technology and Travel and Tourism, 23–25 January 2008, Innsbruck,Austria

As the world's largest annual event on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and travel and tourism, ENTER2008 was held in Innsbruck, a small medieval town in Austria. Like previous ENTER conferences, delegates were able to participate personally in the discussion of the latest research findings and industrial innovations in the context of ICTs in travel and tourism. Delegates could also enjoy the hospitality and unique experiences offered by the conference host and organizer. Different from other ENTER conference proceedings, which always had front pages in silver, ENTER2008 proceedings used an attractive and bright cover page in a good mixture of yellow and red.     

Market Orientation and Organizational Performance Linkage in Chinese Hotels: The Mediating Roles of Corporate Social Responsibility and Customer Satisfaction

The nature of market orientation and its impact of business performance and other related outcomes have been extensively researched in a range of service contexts including tourism. Despite the empirical evidence to support the proposition that market orientation has positive impact on organizational performance, several researchers have reported nonsignificant or even negative effects for this linkage. This disparity in existing studies might be reconciled by investigations into the mediators of the relationship. However, research on the topic remains limited. In light of the gap, we proposed two new mediators, namely, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer satisfaction, and tested the mediating effects in an empirical study in China's hotel industry. Evidence to support the mediating effects was identified, and the managerial and research implications were discussed.     

Measuring Corporate Social Responsibility in tourism: Development and validation of an efficient measurement scale in the hospitality industry

This article aims at developing an efficient measurement scale for corporate social responsibility in the tourism industry, given the contextual character that is recognized in the practice of this construct. Indicators were generated on the basis of a literature review and qualitative research. To assess the reliability and validity, first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis were carried out. Results show a multidimensional structure of this construct—including economic, social, and environmental issues. This study contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the field of social responsibility through its practical application regarding concepts of sustainable development which have mainly been theoretical. The authors would like to thank the two anonymous reviewers for many helpful comments and suggestions. E-mail: shumookh333alghamdi@hotmail.comView all notes     

Why hotel employees care about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Using need satisfaction theory

The aim of this paper is to investigate hotel employees’ the perception of CSR practices of their firms, within the foundations of need satisfaction theory. The proposed model examines the relationships among types of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Quality of Work Life (QWL), job satisfaction, and the levels of job position. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the relationships in the model. The results demonstrate that hotel employees’ perceived CSR had a positive effect on their basic and growth needs of QWL and QWL led to job satisfaction. The effects of CSR on QWL were stronger among managerial level employees compared to lower level ones. The findings provide better insights to the underlying mechanism through which type of CSR perceptions of employees influences job satisfaction in hospitality companies where these internal stakeholders become a key to attain competitive advantages.     

Location,Location, Location: Film Corporations' Social Responsibilities

Many TV series are set and filmed in small rural communities that are often attempting to deal with issues of rural decline. Increasing tourism is an extremely attractive option for these communities. Entrepreneurial film‐tourism business activities such as guided tours, branded souvenirs, and guidebooks can also assist in arresting decline in these communities. However, such opportunities do not always eventuate, with the community left to deal with increased visitation and often a serious loss of privacy. Film companies have a vested interest in maintaining a positive relationship with the location communities, particularly if they wish to continue filming there. This paper argues that they need to consider their responsibilities to the communities in which they film, particularly in relation to the tourism legacy they leave behind.
