“…Results of the lexicometrical analysis As stated above, for conducting the qualitative data analysis, we chose the descending hierarchical classification. This lexicometrical method (Scholz, 2019) allowed identification of four categories of discourses (Table 1) which reflected the different dimensions of perceived unfairness of RMP. The statistics showed that 28.8% of the corpus analyzed falls into Category 1.…”

Purpose This paper aims to offer a multi-dimensional scale for measuring the concept of perceived unfairness of revenue management pricing (RMP) in the context of hospitality. Design/methodology/approach To develop a measurement scale for the perceived unfairness of RMP, the authors conducted a qualitative study using the critical incident technique to identify the key components of our measurement tool. They then collected two samples of quantitative data enabling them to have compelling evidence of the scale’s reliability and validity. Findings This research identified three dimensions of perceived unfairness of RMP in the context of hospitality: perceived normative deviation, perceived opacity and negative effects. The new scale proposed here is an alternative measurement instrument that could be useful for detecting and correcting some negative aspects of RMP. Practical implications This measurement scale will help hotel managers to detect potential feelings of unfairness in relation to the RMP policies. It might also be used within the framework of market analyses and pricing strategy plans. Finally, the results of this research show that transparency, fairness and ethics based pricing could help hotel managers increase their revenue-per-available-room during and post COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value This research develops a complete measurement scale for perceived unfairness of RMP, including cognitive and affective dimensions. The richness of this scale will help hospitality companies effectively identify the indicators that denote perceived unfairness of RMP, making them better equipped to handle customer dissatisfaction.

“…The particularity and interest of lexicometry is that after an initial quantitative phase, it introduces a subjective and qualitative phase in the process of data interpretation and contextualization. This inversion of stages provides an ‘epistemological break’ in line with the thinking of Bachelard and Foucault who consider, along with the proponents of the constructivist approach, that the researcher necessarily influences the interpretation of the data and that this must be taken into account (Scholz, 2019, p. 127). According to Wiedemann, “this makes these tools compatible with a range of poststructuralist methodological approaches of text analysis such as (Foucauldian) Discourse Analysis, Historical Semantics, Grounded Theory Methodology, or Frame Analysis” (Wiedemann, 2016, p. 47).…”

“…This is based on both a cultural and an epistemological misunderstanding. The first is due to a late translation of French research, the second to the ambiguity resulting from the negative image of computer‐assisted analysis traditionally associated with the positivist paradigm (Lejeune, 2010; Lejeune & Bénel, 2012;Santiago Delefosse et al, 2017; Scholz, 2019 ; Wiedemann, 2016).…”

“…Thus, in this approach, it is not the word count that reveals the ideological underpinnings of the text, but the co‐occurrences and the meta‐data (i.e., author, period, text type, etc.) (Scholz, 2019). It is also relatively fast and automated, and as such is appropriate for a large corpus (Fallery & Rodhain, 2007).…”

This paper has three objectives: first, to examine the historical foundations of the social representation of French physiotherapy; second, to explore the holistic dimension of physiotherapy care addressed by physiotherapists in our survey; third, to disseminate the research design in social science. A literary text by a founder of French physiotherapy was transcribed and examined by lexicometry. The analysis revealed the avant-garde philosophy of care developed by Dolto in the 70s: a merged model of care and a unique evidence of systems thinking that distinguishes the empirical practice of professionals working according to a functional rehabilitation logic. We argue that the introduction of systems theory into the initial or continuing education of these practitioners could make its bio-psycho-social application more effective. This calls for further research on rehabilitation practices in other cultural contexts and provides a theoretical basis and argument for the development of lexicometry in the social sciences.
