Whose real behavior counts? Rethinking behavioral realism in sustainable tourism research – a commentary on Viglia et al. (2024)
Minds without bodies
Against acceptance as legitimacy
Algorithmic management systems are increasingly assessed through indicators of user acceptance, such as continued use, compliance, or adaptation. While acceptance-based models such as the Technology Acceptance Model remain useful for explaining adoption and usability, they are increasingly mobilized as proxies for ethical legitimacy in organizational contexts. This essay argues that acceptance is an inadequate basis for the ethical evaluation of …
Who pays for affordable tourism? Tourism’s hidden labor subsidy in times of crisis
Invisible disabilities and tourism
From crowding perception to destination loyalty. assessing the moderating role of travel satisfaction in European cities
The post COVID-19 pandemic surge in tourism has created significant overcrowding challenges in major cities. This study examines the relationships between crowding perception, destination attractiveness, destination satisfaction, and destination loyalty, with a focus on the moderating role of travel satisfaction. Data were collected from 1,859 tourists in London, Paris, and Rome using Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI). A structural equ…
Examining the Use of Public Transportation by Tourists in Ten European Capitals Through the Lens of Hierarchical Leisure Constraints Theory
This study examines tourists’ use of public transportation through the lens of hierarchical leisure constraints theory. Drawing on data collected in 10 European capitals among 5,220 tourists, it aims to provide evidence supporting the relevance of the theory in this research domain, thereby deepening our understanding of the mechanisms underlying tourists’ use of public transportation. Except for the relationship between constraints and negotiati…
What do tourism and hospitality companies convey about labor union relations in their CSR reports? A conceptual model and empirical findings
Advancing understanding of unionization in the hospitality industry
Hospitality, where unions are rare, is a significant employer of women, youth and migrants, many of whom work as temps and part-timers. This translates into modest livelihoods and vulnerability to socio-economic shocks, which has social justice implications. This study explores the mediating role of attitudes toward unions in the relationship between attitudes toward social justice and the intention to join a union at two points in time. It draws…
Motivations for participation in green crowdfunding
This study investigates the sociopsychological mechanisms influencing the inclination to provide financial support for environmentally-oriented crowdfunding initiatives. It considers participation in these campaigns as a form of pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) and applies two theoretical frameworks, namely the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the value-belief-norm theory (VBN), to to assess their effectiveness in explaining the intention t…
Hotel employees' views on fairness, well‐being and collective representation in times of the coronavirus crisis
The coronavirus crisis reignited the debate over the ethical dimension of employment practices in the hotel sector. This study, which draws on the findings from semistructured interviews conducted with 51 Polish hotel workers during the pandemic, aims to ascertain their views on fairness in the workplace, their well‐being, the attractiveness of hotel employment and collective representation. Our findings were, in many respects, at variance with e…
Tourism specialization, economic growth, human development and transition economies
Green organizational climates and employee pro-environmental behaviour in the hotel industry
This paper adopts a multilevel approach and uses hierarchical-level modelling, to explore the mechanisms that underlie organizational citizenship behaviour for the environment (OCBE) in four- and five-star hotels in Poland. It contributes both to organizational climate research and the organizational greening literature. More specifically, it examines the direct effects of green organizational climate (GOC) on OCBE, as well as its moderating effe…
The involvement of Polish trade unions in social dialogue and workplace governance
This article explores the involvement of Polish trade unions in social dialogue and workplace governance with a view to economic reform. Set against the background of modern theories of conflict and cooperation, and of social and political capital, it takes as its premise that Poland needs comprehensive structural change. For this to happen, however, an Irish-style social pact is called for. Hence the study shows among other things the impact of …
Polish Regions in the Age of a Knowledge‐based Economy
The shift to a knowledge‐based economy and the resurgence of interest in the region as a scale of economic organization have been a subject of much debate. Such concepts as innovation, learning, and knowledge diffusion have all come to be seen as crucial elements of regional development strategies associated with the new regionalism. Specifically, the learning region — shifting the focus from technological progress to institutional and cultural f…
