scholarly journals Search and Compare drives Satisfaction - Virtues of online ticketing for air travelers

Ability to easily search and then compare items is an advantage that online platforms have over bricks and mortar formats. In such an intensely competitive airline market, this paper investigates if this exploration experience satisfies the traveler during air ticket booking, by applying the stimulus organism response model. An empirical study is used to test the proposed model by applying the structural equation modeling and interaction effects. The model describes the extent by which traveler’s repurchase intention is influenced by four important factors – search and compare assortment satisfaction, social influence and overall satisfaction. The paper extends the satisfaction to online repatronage intention and customer loyalty. This empirical study also establishes that the relationships are moderated due to civil status and ticketing number of platforms used by the customers.

Schedule delays frequently occur in construction projects. The first step in resolving delay problems is to identify the main causes of delay. Previous studies identifying significant causes of delay have not examined how different causes work together to influence project schedule delays. Structural equation modeling (SEM) of causes of delay in construction has been developed for describing and quantifying the influence of different causes. Although this empirical study is based on a survey in Taiwan’s construction environment, the proposed model is applicable to construction industries in other countries. The analytical results clearly show the correlations among key causes of delay, which is the basis for resolving future schedule delays. This study proved that SEM is capable of quantifying the comprehensive relationships among investigated factors. Additionally, SEM has a high potential to resolve experience-oriented problems in the construction industry.

On YouTube, skippable in-stream advertisements (ads) are critical income for both YouTube and content creators. However, ads inevitably irritate viewers, and as a result, they tend to avoid ads. Thus, this study attempts to identify potential mitigators—source attractiveness and reciprocal altruism—of ad irritation and avoidance in the context of YouTube skippable in-stream ads. Using an online survey (n = 512) in Taiwan, the proposed model is examined by a partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis. The findings show that while ad irritation has a positive effect on ad avoidance, reciprocal altruism can significantly reduce both ad irritation and avoidance. However, source attractiveness fails to mitigate ad irritation and avoidance. Theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed, and several solutions for reducing ad irritation and avoidance are provided.

The drive-through fast-food industry has been one of the fastest businesses growing over the past decades in developing countries, including the Philippines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors influencing costumers’ repurchase intention in a drive-through fast food in the Philippines by utilizing the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. A total of 305 Filipinos answered the online questionnaire, which contained 38 questions. The results of SEM indicated that subjective appetite (SA) was found to have a significant direct effect on menu options (MO). Consequently, MO was found to have significant direct effects on imagery elaboration (IE), vividness (VV), and convenience (CO), and an indirect effect on order accuracy (OA). Finally, SA, MO, IE, VV, OA, and CO were found to have significant effects on satisfaction (S), which subsequently led to loyalty (L) and repurchase intention (RI). Interestingly, MO was found to have the highest indirect effect on RI, indicating that MO is an important consideration for RI. This is the first comprehensive study evaluating drive-through fast food in the Philippines. The causal relationships of the present study can be applied and extended to evaluate the repurchase intention of drive-through fast food in other countries.

The e-government development in Spain still lacks in the employee perspective. This background is clearly visible in the educative public sector where the authors can found several online services to employees but can't find a complete employee portal. The implementation of such systems is an opportunity to embed knowledge management, as it's the core process in education, but it would imply a deep organizational change. Thus, it is crucial to determine the barriers that could potentially prevent their implementation. The study aims to establish the barriers that influence the intention of use of those employee portals. The researchers used structural equation modeling to conduct an empirical study based on a hybrid TAM-TPB model. The results have found evidence on the majority of the proposed hypothesis. The authors conclude the study with a set of recommendations for the developers that could help in avoiding the effects of such barriers.
