This paper positions that human mobility within a hotel's catchment area constitutes a critical determinant of hotel performance, and we examine how this relationship varies across hotel classes and across the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Building on a gravity-based framework of spatial interaction, we argue that higher local mobility enhances hotel revenue and occupancy. Utilizing a panel of U.S. hotels linked to granular mobility analyti…
By hand or device? The “observation effect” of employees’ notetaking mode on consumer service evaluations
We examine how the notetaking behaviors of frontline service staff affect consumers' perceptions of employees and firms. Drawing on embodied cognition theory, we propose that observing frontline employees' recording of consumers' requests triggers related cognitive processes in consumers, shaping their evaluations. We explored the impacts of different notetaking modes in five experimental studies. Study 1 revealed that employees using digital (vs…
Consumer perception of employees with disabilities using robots
Advanced robotic technologies provide direct assistance to people with disabilities in overcoming physical barriers. We examine how consumers respond to frontline service employees with disabilities who utilize such technologies. Across three studies, we demonstrate that not all technologies are perceived equally: consumers tend to respond negatively to employees with disabilities who are telepresent via robots compared to those who work in perso…

Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study of the Association between Knee Pain and Weight Change
The knee is a hinge joint that provides stability and control, which are essential in daily life. Obesity is a major cause of knee pain and its incidence continues to increase worldwide. In this study, we analyzed Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data on the general population, and showed an association between weight change and knee pain. A total of 22,948 participants were enrolled; those under the age of 50 and those who …
Association between Chronic Knee Pain and Psychological Stress in Those over 50 Years of Age
Chronic knee pain (CKP) can degrade the quality of life and cause dysfunction, resulting in the loss of independence. Psychological stress not only affects physical and mental health but is also a risk factor for CKP. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015), and investigated the association between CKP and psychological stress of the Korean general populatio…
Association between Relative Handgrip Strength and Chronic Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal complaint and significantly reduces the quality of life. Muscle weakness is a major cause of LBP. Handgrip strength (HGS) is widely used to determine general muscle strength. Relative HGS (RHGS) incorporates body mass and provides a more accurate estimation of muscle strength and health status. We analyzed the data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to investigate t…
Alcohol consumption and carotid artery structure in Korean adults aged 50 years and older
The results of our study indicate that alcohol consumption is inversely related to carotid IMT and positively related to carotid plaques in men, but not women. However, alcohol intake is positively associated with CCA-diameter in both men and women. Additional large population-based prospective studies are needed to confirm the effects of alcohol consumption on carotid artery structure
