PurposeThis study aims to investigate the mediating effect of consumer innovativeness in the relationship between tourism inclinations and revisit intention. This study focuses on the significance of innovative technologies that help to reduce physical contact and optimize operations and services to offer a direct added value to hospitality businesses and their customers.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a self-reported survey design using an online questionnaire to collect data from randomly selected potential tourists. The survey was in English. Data collection was carried out from June to July 2020, and a valid sample of 272 responses was obtained for data analysis.FindingsThe data were analyzed using ADANCO software. The study suggested that tourism inclination has both direct and indirect impacts on revisit intention through innovativeness.Originality/valueThis study allows a deeper understanding of the importance of contactless and low laborer-interaction technologies that help hospitality industry to win back pandemic-sensitive customers once this outbreak is over. To do this, the mediating effect of consumer innovativeness on their intention to revisit a tourist destination post-Covid-19 was investigated.

This conceptual study proposed that university service quality is of significant influence in guaranteeing education tourist's (edu‐tourist) satisfaction, recommendation intention, and repurchase intention. The study considers the universities as tourism markets that attract edu‐tourists and put forward that the level of service quality provided by institutions can influence on the satisfaction of edu‐tourist and their post‐behavioral intention in an educational tourism context. This paper analyzed several previous studies and discussed service quality factors affecting edu‐tourist's satisfaction and behavioral intentions using various databases such as social sciences and psychology. The theoretical framework of the means‐end approach was used to evaluate service quality dimensions. The findings revealed the most significant factors affecting edu‐tourist's perception of service quality, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. Overall, the campus facilities perceived to be the most prominent factor in satisfying edu‐tourists. Recommendations for future research relating the crucial determinants of service quality in influencing consumers' behavior are discussed.

This paper investigates the impact of a manager’s proactive personality on organisational performance. Furthermore, this study explores the mediating mechanism of service innovation and the moderating impact of organisational resilience on the relationship between a manager’s proactive personality and organisational performance. The study applies resilience theory to support the proposed framework. Using data from several sources, including hotel managers in Cyprus and their staff, the researchers developed a model to illustrate how managers with proactive personalities contribute to organisational performance. Findings from the structural equation modelling revealed that a proactive personality strongly influences organisational performance. Furthermore, service innovation mediates the relationship between organisational resilience and organisational performance of hotels. Finally, this paper discusses the theoretical and managerial implications and limitations of the study as well as future research possibilities.

People must be qualified to adapt to developments resulting from the fast evolution of information and technology. This would be accomplished by incorporating technology into instruction. To survive in the world of science and technology, the disciplines that will continue to play a significant role in the future are Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In this respect, several studies have been carried out on enhancing STEM education in colleges. This research aims to evaluate these studies and the trends used to define the scientific content criteria. The citation analysis method investigates STEM-related papers indexed in scholarly publications. A total number of 202 studies published between 2017 and 2022 were examined. According to the study's results, the number of citations and research articles increased remarkably in 2021. This result enables researchers to describe the characteristics of the contents of scientific journals.

The growing focus on the benefits of innovative approaches to gain competitive advantages has inspired studies on the emergence of leadership styles that encourage employees to engage in innovative behaviors. This study examines the relationships between constructive leadership and employees' innovative behavior through the safety climate and employees' proactive behavior within the hospitality context. This paper considers constructive leaders as optimistic managers who regulate desired organizational outcomes with a genuine focus on the highest gains of employees and the organization. The person-environment fit (P–E fit) theory evaluated prominent organizational factors driving employees' innovative behavior. Two hundred seventy-two valid surveys were obtained among full-time employees of green hotels operating in Turkey. The proposed mediation model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. According to the results, full-time employees of green Turkish hotels demonstrated improved, innovative behaviors at work, while a safe climate was paired with proactive behavior under constructive leadership supervision. The theoretical and managerial implications of findings, as well as recommendations for future research, are addressed.
