“…The flow state, which influences user emotions, is significantly influenced by perceived usefulness in online platforms (Lee & Jeong, 2012). The perceived usefulness determined by online platform users then influences the flow state, which in turn influences user behaviour (Karoubi & Ferdowsi, 2021; Wu et al, 2016). The flow state in virtual tourism websites is therefore strongly influenced by the usefulness of the system, and perceived usefulness is related to the flow state (Gao et al, 2017).…”

This study aims to empirically validate a theoretical model for the engagement of the performance Metaverse platform with other rapidly developing Metaverse platforms around the world. It innovatively examines the relationship between gamification affordance, perceived value, and flow state in the context of the Metaverse concert platform and the relationship that improves engagement in the tourism and entertainment industries. The proposed model incorporates five stages: gamification, affordance, perceived value, flow state, and engagement. A total of 671 usable questionnaires were obtained, and the results were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity analysis, and path analysis. Social gain and enjoyment have a positive effect on the personal flow state and are influenced by identity affordance, competition affordance, and self‐expression affordance. Furthermore, the flow state increases engagement. However, the relationship between perceived value (effectiveness, social gain, and enjoyment) and flow state differ according to gender.

“…Apathy as an emotional state has attracted interest within such fields as psychiatry (Marin, 1991), social psychology (Thomas et al , 2009), political science (Rosenberg, 1954), tourism (Karoubi and Ferdowsi, 2021), consumer research (Gabler et al , 2013) and environmental management (Foguesatto et al , 2019). Apathy is defined as a lack of passion and motivation resulting in limited engagement and action (Marin, 1991).…”

Purpose Although the challenge of food waste (FW) in the foodservice sector is significant, restaurant managers do not always engage in its reduction. The psychological reasons for this disengagement remain insufficiently understood. This study aims to explore the antecedents of behavioural intention of restaurateurs (not) to reduce FW. The influence of three factors is tested, namely, market orientation; environmental apathy alongside selected neutralization techniques, namely, appeal to higher loyalties; denial of injury and denial of responsibility. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the method of a large-scale managerial survey (n = 292) administered in the commercial foodservice sector of Spain. The data are analysed via structural equation modelling with partial least squares. Findings The study finds that market orientation affects managerial intention to reduce FW but not their attitude, while environmental apathy influences managerial attitudes but not their behavioural intention. The study confirms the negative effect of such neutralizers as the appeal to higher loyalties and the denial of injury on suppressing managerial intention to reduce FW. Contrary to initial anticipations, another established neutralizer, the denial of responsibility, exerts no significant effect. Practical implications The study elaborates on the interventions necessitated to neutralize the effect of the neutralizers on managerial (un)willingness to reduce FW in the commercial foodservice sector. Originality/value This is the first known attempt to understand the drivers of managerial engagement in FW reduction in the commercial foodservice sector through the prism of environmental apathy, market orientation and neutralization theory.
