Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to examine experiences of an information technology/information systems (IS) outsourcing service supplier as a signal of perceived service quality and to consider the moderating effects of information asymmetries and signal credibility. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on signaling theory, the paper integrates past experiences of an outsourcing service supplier, information asymmetries, signal credibility, perceived service quality, and purchase intention into a model. Questionnaires were collected in Taiwan, and partial least-squares technique was employed to test the model. Findings The results indicate that past experiences of an IS outsourcing supplier affect perceived service quality, which subsequently influences positively the intention to purchase IS outsourcing services. In addition, signal credibility moderates the relationship between the provider’s past experiences and perceived service quality, though information asymmetries do not have significant effect on the hypothesized moderating relationship. Originality/value This research enriches the extant literatures in signaling theory by demonstrating the few-mentioned IS outsourced suppliers’ experiences as a quality signal as well as in outsourcing contexts with signaling perspectives. The empirical findings validate the importance of dissemination and investment of past experiences for IS provider companies and give a cue of utilizing providers’ experiences to alleviate uncertainty when assessing IS service quality and purchasing outsourcing services for client companies.

This study developed and empirically tested a model to explore the relationships between contact personnel, physical environment, service quality, relationship quality, service innovation, and customer loyalty in Indonesia five-star hotels. Structural equation modeling was conducted on data collected from 596 hotel guests staying at five-star hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia. Results indicated significant relationships between contact personnel and service quality, service quality and customer loyalty, and the moderating effect of service innovation on the interaction of service quality and customer loyalty. It is important for hotel management to focus on service excellence, as it will transpire into guest satisfaction, trust, and commitment from the customer, thus, enhancing the relationship quality between the customer and the hotel. This study demonstrated that service innovation can allow the hotel industry to see beyond the silo mentality of good service and focus on greater value proposition in the business model to increase customer loyalty.

Low-quality service providers who are unable or unwilling to compete through superior performance increasingly use humour in their marketing communication to generate positive service outcomes. Yet it remains unclear whether using humour to communicate poor service quality is indeed effective. Based on an online experiment in the context of budget hotels, this study finds that using humour to deliberately communicate poor service quality leads to higher purchase intentions and service quality evaluations by reducing both technical and functional service quality expectations. Theoretically, this study extends humour and service research by providing first empirical evidence for the viability of using humour as an effective tool for leveraging customer expectations of service quality rather than improving service performance. Managerially, these insights highlight how reducing customer expectations is an alternative strategy for attracting new customers and for achieving superior quality evaluations.
