The purpose of this study is to develop and test a conceptual model that examines job embeddedness as a partial mediator of the impact of management commitment to service quality on service recovery performance and extra-role customer service. Training, empowerment, and rewards are regarded as the three important indicators of management commitment to service quality. Data were obtained from a sample of fulltime frontline hotel employees with a time lag of one week in Romania. The results reveal that training, empowerment, and rewards are positively related to job embeddedness. As hypothesized, empowerment, rewards, and job embeddedness enhance service recovery performance, while training and empowerment increase extra-role customer service. The results further demonstrate that job embeddedness acts as a partial mediator of the effects of empowerment and rewards on service recovery performance. Implications of the results are discussed and future research directions are offered.

The basic objective of this study was to examine the role of HR practices like recruitment and selection, training, performance appraisal and rewards management in enhancing overall service quality of the frontline staff in the hotel industry in Karachi, Pakistan. Hypothetic deductive approach was used for examining the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Customer service dimensions used in this study were derived from the SERVQUAL model that included frontline staff appearance, reliability of service, responsibility among the staff, assurance of job related knowledge and etiquette and empathy. For the purpose of study 15 hotels and restaurants of various sizes with minimum 30 frontline employees were chosen. Ten frontline employees from reception staff, waiters/waitresses, housekeeping employees were chosen using quota sampling for data collection. Opinion of the frontline staff was sought through structured questions as to how the four HR practices are likely to affect quality of five dimensions of the customer service quality. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and integrated through SPSS. Results of study showed that the two HR practices; training and rewards management significantly affect the service quality of the frontline staff and this effect is far stronger than the effect of other HR practices. This research will not only bring significant practical implications for better human resource management in hospitality sector but also provide important indicators for future research. The future study may aim at identifying various internal and external factors that affect efficacy of various HR practices and policies and consequently their contribution in enhancing service quality of staff. Studies are also needed to identify further impediments obstructing the positive influence of recruitment and selection and appraisal practices on service behavior and quality of the staff. The role of various intervening or mediating variables such as employee collaboration, organization culture can also be probed further.

Earlier research has shown that, in today’s highly competitive business world, service quality and satisfaction are central to management concerns for marketing effectiveness and success. This study attempts to determine customer-perceived service quality at rural Indian banks and identify the most significant predictors of overall customer satisfaction based on a five-dimensional ‘performance-only’ scale measuring service quality. Data was collected from 289 patrons of rural banks, based on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (”strongly disagree”) to 7 (“strongly agree”). The absence of a reliable sampling frame necessitated following a controlled sampling technique. In order to extract factors relevant to service quality, we employ exploratory factor analysis, means, standard deviations, t-tests, and regression analysis. Our preliminary analysis indicates that rural customers report high levels of perceived service quality across all five dimensions while the results of the regression analysis (β) show that reliability and assurance explain overall customer satisfaction at rural banks in India. The study’s findings can be employed by the banking industry to restructure and prioritize its service quality and develop appropriate promotional strategies by highlighting relevant aspects of service quality and customer satisfaction.

This study examines the effect of social media sharing on tourism destination brand awareness and destination natural and service quality and also examines the moderating roles of country of origin (COI; macro and micro) image on destination natural and service quality. Data were collected from 568 domestic and international tourists who have visited Alanya, Turkey. Relationships in the study were examined through structural equation modeling. As one of the components of social media sharing, participant sharing positively affects destination brand awareness, whereas any significant effect of nonparticipant sharing on destination brand awareness was not found. Destination brand awareness positively influences tourist perceptions of both destination service quality and destination natural quality. COI image moderates most of the relationships.
