The Impact

The consumption process of travel decision making, is influenced by a number of factors and a substantial body of decision making literature in the form of the broader ‘models of consumer behaviour' has been adapted to attempt to describe this process. Existing ‘foundation models' present variables such as personal characteristics and attitudes as factors that affect the vacation decision making process, but fail to discuss the extent to which gender and technology preferences influence decisions and destination choice. Economic models are based on utility theory as a decision making framework, however, they do not allow for the other consumer oriented variables. Current models (economic or otherwise) focus on individuals and their decision making process without a combined consideration of information search and technology gendered preferences and the impact they have on choosing a destination for a vacation.

Peeling Off

This study examined the development of information search behavior in decision making. 75 subjects, aged 12 to 23 yr., made choices among 3 or 6 alternatives described by 6 or 12 features and displayed in matrix form. Before making their choices, subjects freely examined feature information about the alternatives by peeling off stickers that covered the information in matrix cells. Analysis indicated that age was unrelated to the number of information cells examined but was related to order of examination. Haphazard searching through the matrices decreased significantly by age 14, and a search pattern related to a choice process of “elimination by aspects” was clearly detected by age 16. Developmental and methodological implications of the results are discussed.

Abstract This article examines whether and how several audit-specific attributes influence auditor’s motivation. Following the literature, the research project focuses mainly on the impact of risk preference, task complexity and the liability situation in this issue. A 2x2 mixed-subjects case-based experiment was conducted to gain data for in-depth insights. In sum 209 master students with a major in accounting and auditing participated in the experiment. The results indicate that increased risk aversion leads to a higher observed task motivation. Regarding the task complexity, data analysis shows that increasing task complexity lowers auditor’s motivation. This study contributes to the stream of judgment and decision making literature and offers new insights in to the relationship and dependence of inherent auditor-specific factors.

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task complexity towards turnover intention in public accountant firms. The respondents of the research are junior auditors, senior auditors, supervisors, and managers in public accountant firms in Jakarta and Tangerang.  The samples were taken by non-probability sampling method by using convenience sampling. The total samples used in analysis are 130 respondents. Data analysis conducted by using multiple regressions. Data quality test in this research is validity test by using Pearson correlation, reliability test by using cronbach’s alpha, normality test using normal probability plot. Classical asumptions test in this research is multicollonierity test by using tolerance and variance inflation factor (VIF) ans heteroscedasticity test by using scatterplot.  The result of hypothesis testing showed that job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task complexity as simultaneously have significant influence towards turnover intention. Meanwhile, only job satisfaction and organizational partially has significant influence towards turnover intention. Task complexity has no significant influence towards turnover intention.

The Impact

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the role of social media on the hotel decision-making process of consumers during the evaluation stage of searching, identifying the alternatives and selecting a hotel in India. It will help the stakeholders in the hotel industry of India to make the social media platform more efficient for consumers by providing inputs on the factors consumers consider while making online hotel purchase. Design/methodology/approach This study involves an exploratory qualitative approach which includes 32 face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews with the social media platform users. The selection of interviewees for this study has been done on the basis of a non-random purposive sampling approach. Findings The findings reveal that social media plays an important role in affecting the way consumers search, decide and book hotels. It also suggests that social media helps consumers in collecting information about products and services, assessing alternatives and making their choices. It confirms that while negative facets exist, the positive benefits outweigh the negative aspects of using social media when selecting a hotel. The results also reveal the impact of circumstantial influence related to social media on hotel selection, on the basis of content source and the level of trust and accuracy in the content. Practical implications This study has some strategic implications for hospitality marketing and management related to a better understanding of the influence of social media on the hotel customer decision-making process. The study shows that a variety of social media with associated content sources and levels add to the complexity of hotel-related information search and decision behaviour. Originality/value The study makes a contribution by addressing the existing gaps and bridging the arena of consumer behaviour and social media literature in a hotel context and sheds light on how consumer decisions while selecting a hotel are influenced through social media. The core contribution is the generation of factors through in-depth interviews which are based on real-life scenarios relating to the influence of social media on hotel decision-making.
