Customer perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty: the role of willingness to share information
2016
This study proposes and tests an integrative model to examine the relationships among customers’ willingness to share information, satisfaction, perceived value, and loyalty in a retailing context. This study extends research on customers’ willingness to share information from trust and privacy concerns toward key outcome measures such as perceived value, customer satisfaction, and loyalty, and is thus among the first to model customers’ willingness to share information with companies in robust theoretical retailing frameworks. The proposed relationships were tested using data from two retailing contexts – groceries (N = 429) and do-it-yourself (DIY) (N = 895). Findings from the two samples…
Retail brand equity: a model based on its dimensions and effects
2013
International audience; Brand equity has been recognized as a key variable in both the academic and professional literature. This article aims to deepen the nature of the retailer equity construct and identify the variables that contribute to its formation, proposing an integrative model based on their dimensions and effects. From an empirical perspective, a survey is carried out with 300 consumers in three retailer categories, in order to analyze the relationships of the model. Due to the formative nature of two of the constructs, the analysis is developed through the partial least squares technique. From the analysis of the results, the importance of store image, perceived store value, an…
The role of sense of community in harnessing the wisdom of crowds and creating collaborative knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic
2021
Abstract This study investigates the role of sense of community in harnessing the wisdom of the crowd and creating collaborative knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also explores the impact of collaborative knowledge creation on the perceived value of social media crowdsourcing in such crises. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data and test the research model. The results show that sense of community has a significant role in harnessing the wisdom of the crowd and creating collaborative knowledge. The results confirm a significant impact of sense of community, the wisdom of the crowd, and collaborative knowledge creation on the perceived value of social media crowdsourcing in respondin…
Organizational and Individual Values: Their Main and Combined Effects on Work Attitudes and Perceptions
1999
A survey was conducted using a convenient sample of employees (N = 999) from various industries to examine the main and combined effects of organizational and individual values on organizational commitment, perceived organizational support, and procedural justice. Moderated multiple regression analyses showed that employees' reactions were mainly explained by perceived organizational values and value preferences. In contrast, person-organization value fit and interaction effects were marginal. The implications of these findings are discussed.
The value trade-off in higher education service: A qualitative intercultural approach to students’ perceptions
2016
Purpose: Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have become a highly competitive market, where consumers (i.e. students) are highly involved in their choices, and managers need to focus on competitive edges. This paper aims to understand the factors that influence international Master students’ choice behaviour and fulfil student expectations of customer value in HEIs. Design/methodology: With qualitative information (five focus groups) collected from international students (of 12 different nationalities) of several universities in Spain, UK and China, the paper investigates the formation of customer value as a trade-off between benefits and costs. This qualitative approach aims first at asse…
Perceived Value in Sporting Events (PVSP): A Further Step for the Strategic Management
2020
The perception of sporting events spectators is a crucial area of research in the sport management field. These studies analyze different variables, the perceived value of which has gained relevance in recent years. By providing superior value to consumers, organizations can achieve a competitive advantage and guarantee their sustainability. However, a limitation found in the literature is that most of the scales used to measure it are one-dimensional or with single items, and do not provide enough information. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Value (PVSE) for the evaluation of sporting events. The questionnaire was…
Future Intentions of Fitness Center Customers: Effect of Emotions, Perceived Well-Being and Management Variables
2020
One of the main objectives of fitness center managers is to obtain high levels of loyalty from the customers of these fitness centers. Within the existing literature on fitness center management, previous research has analyzed the importance of the management variables themselves to determine the behavioral intentions of their customers, ignoring other psychological and sociodemographic aspects and focusing on linear relationship models. Therefore, this study, which aims to analyze the impact of different management variables along with psychological (emotions and subjective well-being) and demographic variables (age and sex) on the satisfaction, perceived value (PV) and future intentions (…

Analysis of mobile-oriented energy consumption for heterogeneous connections in hybrid wireless networks
2012
While more and more mobile devices are equipped with both cellular and WLAN interfaces for internet access, the energy consumption aspect of these connections has not been studied in depth in the literature. In this paper, a hybrid network with three alternative wireless connections, namely, a cellular component, a combined component with a mixed ad hoc and cellular link, or an infrastructure-based WLAN component, is investigated. A distance-based analysis on the energy consumption of a mobile station has been performed for each alternative wireless connection, and corresponding numerical results have been obtained. The results suggest that, to increase link throughput while maintaining min…
MP2P Network in Collecting Data from Sensor Networks
2006
Wireless sensor networks provide numerous applications today. At the same time modern wireless short-range communication technologies combined with mobile users create environments for mobile peerto- peer networks. This paper discusses a concept of an application in which an MP2P network is used for collecting sensor network data. This model requires certain places with a high mobile user density in order to function. Simulation results indicate that the model can be used in environments where these requirements are met.
