Unlocking behaviors of long-term service consumers : the role of action inertia
2017
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the antecedents of word-of-mouth (WOM) in long-term service settings. Specifically, the authors examine the moderating role of action inertia in the relationships between satisfaction and repatronage intention, satisfaction and WOM, and repatronage intention and WOM. Design/methodology/approach The proposed model was empirically tested using survey data from 1,385 telecommunications service subscribers. The data were analyzed using partial least squares path modeling. Findings Results suggest that a positive link between repatronage intention and WOM, hereto a neglected relationship in the marketing literature, in contrast to previous literat…
Individual Performance in Turbulent Environments: The Role of Organizational Learning Capability and Employee Flexibility
2015
Organizational learning capability (OLC) and employee flexibility help firms navigate the challenges faced by organizations operating in turbulent environments. OLC includes dimensions such as experimentation, risk taking, openness, dialogue, and participative decision making. Employee flexibility is considered a crucial tool for strategic human resource management in tackling environmental turbulence. Accordingly, we pose the following research question: how, and to what extent, is individual performance enhanced by OLC and employee flexibility in turbulent environments? The major impact that environmental turbulence has on change and flexibility requirements suggests that employee flexibi…
Engagement with Travel Web Sites and the Influence of Online Comparative Behaviour
2015
We propose a Web site engagement measurement, and study the influence of potential antecedents and consequences. Utilising partial least squares path modeling, we contrast a model with data obtained from respondents choosing a holiday in the Seychelles, on a Web site capable of tracing online within-page and within-site behaviour.
Path Modeling and Retrieval in Distributed Video Surveillance Databases
2012
We propose a framework for querying a distributed database of video surveillance data in order to retrieve a set of likely paths of a person moving in the area under surveillance. In our framework, each camera of the surveillance system locally pro- cesses the data and stores video sequences in a storage unit and the metadata for each detected person in the distributed database. A pedestrian’s path is formulated as a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to model the dependencies between subsequent observa- tions of the person as he makes his way through the camera net- work. We propose a tool by which the analyst can pose queries about where a certain person appeared while moving in the site duri…
