“…As a result, territories will be able to enjoy innovative and happy ecosystems where the general interest of citizens is cultivated (Ruiz-Rodr ıguez et al, 2023). Fourthly, innovative personalised tourism services can be considered beneficial instruments to satisfy people's general well-being, especially during leisure time (Rando-Cueto et al, 2023). Fifthly, public governments carry out action plans in the tourism industry that contemplate as a roadmap that organisational innovation and the happiness of its human capital are guarantors of economic and social success (Ravina-Ripoll et al, 2019a).…”

PurposeThere has recently been much interest in analysing the creation of personalised tourism services and studying their effect on organisations. However, there still needs to be more work in analysing their effect on happiness and the role that emotions play in these processes. This paper aims to analyse, in the context of personalised and innovative tourism services, which factors can encourage and improve managers' happiness.Design/methodology/approachA model of analysis is presented with five variables: tourism managers' happiness (TMH), innovative personalised tourism services, internal factors: emotions (IFE), organisational factors (OF) and personal factors (PF). Eight hypotheses are proposed and tested with a structural equation model.FindingsThe results allow the authors to affirm that personalised technological advances applied to tourism services not only contribute to improving the happiness of hotel managers but also in generating emotions that contribute to improving their attitude towards the company.Research limitations/implicationsThis scientific work has some limitations. Firstly, this study was carried out exclusively in Spain due to the relevance of this country in the international tourism sector, according to the World Tourism Organisation. The results achieved in this research should be contrasted with other studies in other territories. Secondly, the interviews and surveys were carried out at specific time intervals. It has not led to problems of significant bias in the variance of the standard method. Therefore, it is desirable to undertake longitudinal or cross-sectional studies for future research. Thirdly, it is interesting to develop theoretical models that include other psycho-directive or leadership style constructs to determine whether they holistically enhance the subjective well-being of hospitality managers. Moreover, other types of factors of a social or strategic nature can be considered, which can positively or negatively impact the analysed variables. Finally, future research can deepen the empirical analysis of the relationship between managerial competencies and digital innovation from the perspective of happiness management. These findings would contribute to a greater cognitive understanding of the implications of personalised and innovative tourism services on hotel establishments' happiness and economic benefits.Practical implicationsThis paper shows the fundamental role of a happy leadership style in creating responsible, green and innovative environments in today's digital society. Furthermore, the happiness of tourism managers can contribute to the generation of high quality and excellent services that are in line with the principles of sustainable development.Social implicationsPersonalised technological advances applied to tourism services not only contribute to improving the happiness of hotel managers but also to generating emotions that contribute to improving their attitude towards the company. On the other hand, it has been observed that personalised and innovative tourism services generate positive effects at organisational, internal and personal levels. The following reflections are advanced: The development of internal factors such as the emotions of awe and gratitude or the generation of trust can enhance the happiness of tourism managers. The happiness of tourism business managers can be enhanced by developing OF such as smart-personalised tourism services and data protection. The happiness of tourism managers can be enhanced by the development of PF such as travellers' desires, expectations and needs, or other factors such as disposable income, health status or family situation.Originality/valueThis is the first empirical study that focuses on investigating how personalised and innovative tourism services affect managing happiness.

A better understanding of the driving effects of socio-economic water use is essential to obtain accurate water demand prediction and to implement water resources management. In this study, six driving effects, including scale effect, structure effect, economic level effect, policy rationality effect, water price policy effect, and scientific and technological level effect, are considered. A Kaya-LMDI model is constructed to identify the driving effects of domestic, industrial and agricultural water use, and then a STIRPAT model is established for water demand production. Annual precipitation is introduced into the model for predicting agricultural water demand. The model is applied to Hebei province, China. The main conclusions are summarized as follows: ① The economic level effect plays a role in promoting the socio-economic water use in all prefecture-level cities of Hebei province; The water price policy effect plays a role in inhibiting the domestic and agricultural water use, while the scientific and technological level effect plays a role in inhibiting the industrial water use. ② The water use is mainly inhibited by the effects of policy rationality and water price policy before 2015 but mainly by the effects of water price policy and scientific and technological level after 2015; ③ There is a clear spatial difference in the driving effects of the socio-economic water use among the prefecture-level cities, and the economic level effect plays a major role in promoting the socio-economic water use in all prefecture-level cities; the water price policy effect plays an inhibitory role in nine cities; while the policy rationality effect plays an inhibitory role in two cities; ④ The water demand prediction results suggest that the water demand of Hebei province in 2030 is 22.01 billion m3 in normal years (P = 50%) and 24.33 billion m3 in medium-dry years(P = 75%), which are consistent with the red line set by the government. This study may contribute to optimizing the economic structure and provides guidance for water use management.
