Impact of Environmental CSR, Service Quality, Emotional Attachment, and Price Perception on Word-of-Mouth for Full-Service Airlines
This research aimed to develop a theoretical framework relating environmental corporate social responsibility (environmentally friendly business, compliance with environmental regulations, environmentally friendly products/services, environment-related mission, environmental preservation efforts), service quality, emotional attachment, and word-of-mouth in the full-service airline industry. A quantitative approach with a survey methodology was used for attaining the research goals. Our empirical findings demonstrated that environmental corporate social responsibility plays a crucial role in eliciting airline customers’ word-of-mouth, and that service quality and emotional attached have a critical mediating effect. In addition, price perception moderated the degree of the relationship strength between environmental corporate social responsibility and word-of-mouth. The salient contribution of emotional attachment to the prediction power increase of the proposed model for word-of-mouth was also uncovered. Overall, this research presents apparent understanding of airline corporate social responsibility for the environment and its role in the process of generating word-of-mouth
Do Ambient Conditions (Air Quality, Noise Level and Temperature) and Image Congruity Matter for Boosting Customer Approach Behaviors in the FSC Sector?
The present research presented a conceptual framework by uncovering the apparent role of ambient condition quality (in-flight air, noise level, and temperature), image congruity, love, respect, and perceived ticket price in increasing customer approach behaviors in the full service carrier (FSC) industry. A quantitative method was used. The evaluation of the measurement model verified the quality of construct measures. Findings from statistical analyses demonstrated the significant associations among research variables, and identified the mediating nature of FSC love and FSC respect. In addition, the important moderating effect of perceived FSC ticket price was found. A prominent role of ambient condition quality in eliciting approach behaviors was also explored. Overall, our theoretical framework contained a prediction power for approach behaviors. The research findings thus assist FSC researchers and practitioners to better understand the process of generating the customer decision-making process and behaviors that are positive for full service carriers. This research hence successfully fulfilled its objective to discover the influences of the customer approach behaviors in the full service carrier (FSC) industry
