“…Perceived risks are a central construct in grasping sport spectators' decision-making in postpandemic situations (Kinoshita and Matsuoka, 2022). Risk refers to uncertainty and inherent consequences related to consumption (Bauer, 1967).…”

“…Many studies to grasp perceived risks at mass gatherings during the pandemic have existed through several contexts: e.g. Karag€ oz et al (2021) about tourists; Morton and Power (2022) about cultural festival participants; Kinoshita and Matsuoka (2022) about sport spectators; Westmattelmann et al (2021) about sport participants. Market segmentation is an essential strategy applied to such efforts (Mullin et al, 2014).…”

PurposeAlthough many attempts to discover key segments of sport spectators have been extant, little segmentation effort has been made to reflect pandemic situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research is twofold: (1) to classify sport spectators into key segments based on perceived risks associated with a mass-gathered sporting event during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) to identify each segment’s profiles.Design/methodology/approachQuestionnaire surveys of spectators attending a Japanese rugby game during the COVID-19 pandemic (January–June 2021) were conducted (n = 1,410). A combination of hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering methods was executed.FindingsThe results revealed the five-cluster solution as the optimal number of clusters representing the samples (i.e. spectators with extremely low-risk perception, those with low-risk perception, those with moderate-risk perception, those with high-risk perception and those with higher social risk perception). This five-cluster solution showed sufficient stability and validity. Moreover, each segment had different profiles regarding three background aspects – demographics, psychographics and behavioral variables.Originality/valueThis study is the first effort to segment sport spectators based on perceived risks associated with a mass-gathered sporting event in the pandemic situation. Despite extensive segmentation studies to explore sport fans, contribution reflecting the post-crisis situations is scant. Therefore, the findings provide insight into this realm by providing a new viewpoint for understanding sport spectators during a possible future pandemic era.

“…Recently, CRP was intensively studied in different sectors (Dryhurst et al, 2020). It moderates the relationship of individuals' perceived efficiency and their behavior compliance (Roma et al, 2020), the relationship between investors' risk avoidance, uncertainty avoidance and the intention to invest (Arshad et al, 2020) and the impact of team identification on vitality and game satisfaction (Kinoshita and Matsuoka, 2023). In the hospitality sector, Zhou et al (2018) argue that positive leadership behavior may play an important role in enhancing employees' work engagement when moderated by higher self-efficacy.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the human resource development (HRD) implications of perceived higher education (HEd) leadership effectiveness on academics’ quality of worklife (QWL) in the context of COVID-19. Drawing on conservation of resource theory, this study explains the mediating role of resource adequacy (RA); then this study investigates the moderating role of COVID-19-related risk perception (CRP) on the relationship between university leadership (UL) and both academics’ turnover intention (TI) and academics’ QWL. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative research exploiting the pandemic experiences and perceptions survey, PEPS, to collect data from 300 academic staff in private and public HEd institutions in Lebanon. The analyses include the test of the mediating effect of RA as well as the moderated mediation effect of CRP through regressions, PROCESS and bootstrapping. Findings The findings suggest that by enhancing RA, effective UL positively influences the QWL and mitigate the TI in Lebanese HEd. Furthermore, this study found that CRP weakens the direct relationship of UL on RA and the indirect effect of UL on the QWL and TI via RA such that the relationships are weakened when COVID-19 risk perception was high rather than low. Practical implications The results imply that HEd HRD professionals could think of effective human resource interventions of how to maintain good working environment where academics are facilitated to acquire high level of resources which lead to improving their QWL and mitigating the negative outcome (TIs). Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research has been made to investigate the moderated mediation model of the “pandemic experience and leadership perceptions” (PEPS) in the HEd sector in Lebanon, addressing academics’ experiences in business schools. This study is unique because it was conducted during the utmost pandemic outbreak (mid academic year 2021) collecting data in real time. This research contributes to the HRD literature by showing empirical evidence of the relationships in the context of Lebanese HEd institutions.
