This paper aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of service quality and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty in the hotel service industry. It proposes to confirm a theoretical model which has not been identified in the literature within the spectrum of the hotel industry in Indonesia. A quantitative methodology was used in this study. 182 respondents of hotel customers in Indonesia were used to gather information about their perception of service quality, customer loyalty and satisfaction. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the collected data and to specify the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) of the hypothesised model. The results revealed that SERVQUAL affects positively on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Similarly, the testing showed the positive effect of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. A significant mediation effect of customer satisfaction was found on the relationship between SERVQUAL and customer loyalty. Therefore, the proposed model helps the hotel operator in developing their customer service development program to enhance customer’s satisfaction and loyalty to increase the profitability of the industry. This research contributes to hotel service industry by confirming the proposed structural model and offering insights about the customer perception, which helps hotel operators to more successfully incorporate the service quality to build customer loyalty and achieve customer satisfaction.

Abstract

The stress experienced by expatriates is usually caused by the inability to adjust to the host culture, which largely results from their lack of social skills needed in dealing with the new cultural environment. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to identify the predictors of cross-cultural adjustment among expatriates in Malaysia, by focusing on expatriates in hotel industry. The findings from the study could help clarify the over generalization made of data which are usually based on certain locations and groups of expatriates. Two hundred and three expatriates participated in the study. Personality, language ability, previous international experience, training, human resource support, social support, culture distance and family adjustment were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis to determine the predictors of adjustment. The data, which was drawn from a drop and collect method, self-administered questionnaire, revealed that social support and family adjustment were the most influential predictors of hotel expatriate adjustment. The findings also suggest that over generalizations of findings across disciplines are rather inappropriate. Detail discussions on the methods, findings, limitations, and suggestions for future research are presented in the paper.

Abstract

Cities and places had been progressively being marketed as brands by using the concept of ‘City Branding', which is a unique idea. The scholars of ‘City Branding’ believed that the concept of branding helps the city in marketing activities. A city metaphorically could be seen as an entity given the advantage to display its visual characteristics to tourists, visitors, and residents. Unique visual identity such as iconic architecture and graphic design could make a city stands out from the others. Thus, the research examined the role of visual identity in city branding. Specifically, the aim was to contribute to better understanding of the concept of ‘visual identity’ in Southeast Asian cities. Netnography approach was employed to gain better understanding of the notion of visual identity of city branding and refine a conceptual framework that has been developed based on the existing literature. Elements such as iconic structure and graphic design (logo and slogan) of four cities in Southeastern Asia were emphasized. The research concludes that the components of the visual identity of the cities need to be reshaped to be aligned with their visual characteristics in order to boost their competitiveness among the global city brands.
