Purpose This study aims to propose a research model integrating technology acceptance 3 (TAM3) constructs and human aspects of humanoid service robots (HSRs), measured by the Godspeed questionnaire series tested across two hotel properties in Japan USA. Design/methodology/approach Potential participants were approached randomly email invitation. A final sample size 395 hotels, one other USA, was obtained, data analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The results confirm that perceived usefulness, driven subjective norms output quality, ease use, enjoyment absence anxiety, are immediate direct determinants users’ re-patronage intentions for HSRs. Results also showed users prefer anthropomorphism, intelligence safety an HSR reusing it. Practical implications findings have practical hospitality industry, suggesting multiple attributes HSRs managers need consider before deploying them their properties. Originality/value current proposes integrated determining factors affect hotels.

Abstract Chatbots incorporate various behavioral and psychological marketing elements to satisfy customers at stages of their purchase journey. This research follows the foundations Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) examines how cognitive peripheral cues impact experiential dimensions, leading chatbot user recommendation intentions. The study introduced warmth competence as mediating variables in both postpurchase stages, utilizing a robust explanatory sequential mixed‐method design. researchers tested validated proposed conceptual model using 3 × factorial design, collecting 354 responses stage 286 stage. In second stage, they conducted in‐depth qualitative interviews (Study 2) gain further insights into validity experimental 1). results obtained from Study 1 revealed that “cognitive cues” “competence” significantly influence intentions among users. On other hand, “peripheral contribute positive experiences encountered during identified 69 thematic codes through exploratory research, providing deeper understanding variables. Theoretically, this extends ELM by introducing new dimensions human‐machine interactions heart digital transformation. From managerial standpoint, emphasizes significance adding “humanness” element development create more engaging customer actively.

Purpose Given little light has been shed on the preference of Generation Z tourists or from different cultural backgrounds toward service robot in hospitality contexts, this study aims to explore preferences accommodation sector Chinese market, with a specific focus customers. Design/methodology/approach This followed an exploratory sequential research design including two qualitative methods (i.e. projective techniques and semistructured interviews) reach its objectives. Findings suggests that robots are more preferred for routine tasks gender differences exist robot’s anthropomorphism level. The driven by four factors based levels hedonic utilitarian values: experienced-hedonic value, utilitarian-hedonic task-relevant value value. Research limitations/implications First, because nature study, data interpretation is unavoidably subjective; therefore, results can be confirmed using rigorous method. Second, only focuses customers China hotel sector; as countries, study’s findings cannot readily generalized across populations contexts. Finally, fails dig into effect varying anthropomorphic attributes. Practical implications As hotels adopt widely, managers need identify customers’ prioritize between human resources efficient service. Particularly important understanding benefits challenges implementations rather than looking one-size-fits-all mode operation. Originality/value To best authors’ knowledge, first understand regard tourist groups illustrating their delivery. Drawing self-determination theory, potentially provides theoretical basis process optimization.

Additionally, incorporates customer characteristics into modified sRAM. Design/methodology/approach Consistent partial least squares (PLSc) was used test model utilizing data collected from 456 Chinese customers. Findings The results indicated effort expectancy performance positively guests’ toward with service robots. However, effect of social influence is insignificant. perceived humanness interactivity rapport, presence affects both rapport. Furthermore, also revealed moderating role age.
