“…Older travelers tend to have revisit intentions to websites with which they are familiar. This study strengthens the findings from existing research that travelers tend to revisit a previous brand by perceiving positive emotions such as hedonic value, mental well-being, or familiarity [ 114 , 115 , 116 ]. In particular, Lambert-Pandraud, Laurent, and Lapersonne [ 93 ] reported that positive emotions such as familiarity elicited by close relationships with a supplier and a biased memory of positive features of a previously chosen option may affect older travelers’ repurchase intention.…”

In the environment in which an increasing number of older travelers are participating in online tourism platforms, for older travelers who face multiple barriers in using e-commerce, it is essential to identify factors promoting older travelers’ website usage for their well-being and sustainable travel industry. This study aims to identify the key factors of website atmosphere for enhancing older travelers’ familiarity, investigate the relationship between older adults’ website familiarity and revisit intention, and test the moderating role of cognitive age. A web-based survey was conducted, and the sample consisted of 305 US residents 50 years of age and older who had experienced travel websites. The results indicated that three subdimensions of older travelers’ website familiarity—informativeness, effectiveness, and entertainment—positively influence their website familiarity. Additionally, the impact of informativeness on website familiarity is stronger for travelers who identify as younger than their chronological age. Moreover, older travelers’ familiarity with a website improves their revisit intention. The current study found not only significant travel website atmosphere factors to boost older travelers’ participation in online tourism platforms but also significant older travelers’ groups depending on their cognitive age perception to magnify the effect of website atmosphere.

“…The digitalized life supported by advanced information and technology has nudged the development of shared brands, that is, not merely limited to information sharing (Kuhzady et al, 2020 ). The conceptualization of shared brands indicates further openness through which individuals can enjoy and participate in the production of service and products, such as houses, cars, and charge pals (Martin, 2016 ).…”

“…In particular, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has furthered a digitalized transformation of human interaction where there is a reported increase in the users of social media (Lep et al, 2020 ; Vanko et al, 2021 ). Meanwhile, social media can be utilized by companies to extend businesses to a wider audience with a global reach and affect the behavioral intention of consumers while engaging in their CSR initiatives (Bialkova and Te Paske, 2020 ; Kuhzady et al, 2020 ). However, through a review of a study, the academy concerning CSR practices lags behind the practices of CSR engagement through social media (Kesavan et al, 2013 ; Chu et al, 2020 ).…”

The global coronavirus pandemic has reignited a strategic debate among the business community of the necessity for corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement in the ever-dynamic social media. Considering the global economic downturn introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the present research is devoted to investigating whether CSR engagement in social media can help DiDi (a Chinese shared brand) at stake survive this overwhelming crisis. A theoretical model proposed to describe the hypothesized relationships was tested by a Structural Equation Modeling technique through the empirical online questionnaire. Through findings, we demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between CSR engagement of DiDi on WeChat, customer–company identification (C–C identification), and behavioral intention [purchase intention, brand loyalty, and e-word-of-mouth (eWOM)] of customers. With attention to psychological influence, our empirical statistics also evidenced the mediating role of C-C identification between CSR engagement and behavioral intention of customers. This study highlights the significant role of CSR engagement in a critical period theoretically and offers businesses more open innovation strategies to compete against the COVID-19 pandemic-induced market downturn.

“…That is, attitude accounts for a positive evaluation or negative assessment of a specific behavior in future. The abundant evidence in the existing literature indicates that attitude is the salient predictor of individuals’ behavioral intentions across different settings in the hospitality industry [ 24 , 28 , 45 , 52 ]. In the same vein, prior research supported this argument in consumers’ pro-environmental behavior.…”

Edible insects deserve increased attention as green food source in today’s society and more restaurants embrace them to promote sustainable consumption behavior. This study was design to explore how consumers’ behavioral intentions to use edible insect restaurants were formed based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model. Furthermore, the study attempted to deepen TPB by including the moderating role of product knowledge. A total of 440 samples were collected by online survey in South Korea, and the results of structural equation modeling found that all of the hypotheses have been statistically accepted. Additionally, the results of multiple group analysis indicated that product knowledge moderated the link between subjective norm and behavioral intentions. On a basis of the analysis results, we provided significant theoretical implications and practical implications how to increase future sustainable food consumption intention.
