Doctoral candidate Amanda Belarmino has had her third peer-review paper accepted for publication. Along with coauthor Dr. Yoon Koh, the article titled “How E-WOM Motivations Vary by Hotel Review Website" will be published in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management. Based on equity theory, their study investigates if guests write on different review websites because of different internal motivations. It also examines the moderating effect of service – exceeds, neutral, negative, and service recovery – on the relationship between motivations and type of website to write reviews. Prior research on this subject typically examined one website or aggregated results from multiple websites, ignoring website specific differences. Their findings can help hoteliers to understand why initiatives to promote reviews on certain websites may be unsuccessful. |
