Culture and (un)willingness to give up for a sustainable future
There is persistent concern about how young people’s values and behaviors influence the pursuit of sustainability. This study examines how Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, indulgence, motivation toward achievement and success, and long-term orientation) determine youth (un)willingness to sacrifice for a more sustainable future. The methodology involved multinomial logistic regression on the You…
Gastronomy as an engaging form of creative tourism enhanced by co-creation and nostalgia
Gastronomic encounters increasingly function as creative tourism experiences in which participation and nostalgia shape how tourists feel, think, and act toward a destination. This study examines the role of creative tourist experiences, gastro-nostalgia, and co-creation intention in shaping the ABC (affect, behaviour, cognition) of tourist engagement. Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, a three-wave time-lagged study was con…
How corporate sociopolitical activism in brand communication shapes brand engagement and consumer-based brand equity
While studies have examined corporate sociopolitical activism (CSA) from multiple perspectives, research has not yet examined how different CSA types shape consumer-level brand outcomes or when those effects strengthen or weaken. Addressing that gap, this research examines how CSA types expressed through brand communication influence consumer brand engagement (CBE) and consumer-based brand equity (CBBE), considering need for cognition (NFC) as a …
