The purpose of this study is to examine customer–brand experience and customer involvement as two drivers engagement (CE) investigate brand relationship quality a major outcome CE with hotel’s Facebook community. It essential for hotel marketers understand more about how engage customers communities embedded in Facebook, what the antecedents such engagements are, recognize outcomes they can gain from engaged customers. This article adopts structural equation modeling analyzes data collected...

Purpose This study aims to develop a conceptual model of service climate in hospitality, which tests its relationship with psychological capital (PsyCap), quality work life (QWL) and turnover intention. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected among hotel employees by using an intercept approach Qualtrics online survey system. Structural equation modeling examined the hypothesized relationships constructs model. Findings Service showed positive PsyCap QWL, partially mediated this...

Social media sites serve as lead generators for achieving marketing communication and raising brand awareness casual-dining restaurant firms. This study attempts to measure social engagement across different networking (SNSs) promotional activities the industry. also explores influence of dimensionality on performance restaurants. The findings show that metrics are channels activities. results reveal these have significant positive impacts performance. Pragmatically, provide an assessment...

Certain protic ionic liquids (PILs) were found to dissolve zein, which is one of the industrially important natural protein polymers. We prepared two PILs—N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium formate (HEAF) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acetate (HEAA)—and their ability zein was investigated. Up 70% solution may be prepared, but it difficult process, because high viscosity. Zein solutions with 5%−20% concentration easily by heating at 95 °C or higher aid microwave treatment, even in presence small amounts...

PET fabric with highly hydrophilic surface was obtained by microwave-assisted, nonaqueous glycolysis under alkali condition. Surface hydrophilicity measured water drop test, vertical wicking and contact angle measurement. At 120 s of irradiation, the glycolyzed showed instantaneous wetting a low level concentration, such as 0.1% NaOH. DSC SEM analyses were used to investigate thermal topological characteristics PET. Depending on required hydrophilicity, irradiation time must be adjusted. Use...

Fermentation effluents from organic wastes contain simple acids and ethanol, which are good electron sources for exoelectrogenic bacteria, hence considered a promising substrate hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). These fermentation products have different mechanisms thermodynamics their anaerobic oxidation, therefore the composition of effluent significantly influences MEC performance. This study examined synthetic (containing acetate, propionate, butyrate, lactate,...

This study examines supportive work–family culture as a predictor of work-to-family and family-to-work conflict its impact on perceived stress work withdrawal behavior, with the moderating role work–-home segmentation preference. Data were collected from 564 employees in South Korean hotel industry. Results demonstrated that was negatively related to conflict, while both positively stress, which turn behavior. These findings highlight importance for sustainable workforce management,...

Rapid hydrophilic modification of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric was carried out by deep eutectic solvent, ethylene glycol-choline chloride (EGC), under microwave irradiation. EGC is an inexpensive eco-friendly which easy to handle along with low toxicity. Results showed that alkali concentration and irradiation time were critical factors in determining surface characteristics PET. The EGC-treated PET highly hydrophobic long wicking (>2000 s) high contact angle (135°) at 60 s...

Dye-like applications of antibiotics to silk produce infection-resistant materials for potential use in biomedical applications. Two antibiotics, doxycycline (doxy) and cipro floxacin (cipro), are applied under a variety conditions that has previously been hydrolyzed at 40°C 20, 40, 60 minutes. FTIR spectroscopic analyses indicate the drastically increased sorption by is attributable both chemical conformational changes occur with hydrolysis. The high doxy does not necessarily yield more...
