Talent management (TM) can contribute to improving sustainable business performance in the face of a competitive and socially responsible environment. The use of TM to improve tourism staff skills and motivation is contentious, given such jobs are seen as routine and low-paid. Indeed, the precise processes through which TM techniques support sustained performance outcomes in tourism enterprises requires examination. This paper provides empirical evidence for the impact of TM practices on sustainable organizational performance (SOP). This effect of TM on performance is mediated by green intellectual capital (GIC). The moderating role of green servant leadership (GSL) on the link between GIC and SOP is also examined. PLS-SEM was employed to analyze 327 responses collected from travel agencies employees in Egypt. The results reveal that as expected, TM practices have significant effects on GIC, which in turn significantly impacts SOP. The mediating role of GIC on the relationship between TM practices (apart from talent retention) and SOP is supported. However, the moderating role of GSL is not confirmed. These results demonstrate the importance of an inclusive approach to developing staff, leading to intellectual capital and improved organizational sustainability. The study highlights the importance of strategic workforce planning and succession management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, visitors' worries about health and safety in tourist destinations have become paramount. Consequently, this research aims to evaluate the impact of health and safety considerations on visitors' satisfaction. It also examines the influence of health consciousness and satisfaction on visitors' willingness toward robot-delivered tourism and hospitality services usage and the impact of destination healthcare system and satisfaction on loyalty intentions. Applying a quantitative-based methodology, 650 responses were collected from domestic tourists visiting Egyptian tourism destinations using multiple non-probability sampling techniques. Using PLS-SEM, the results articulated that emotional well-being, perceived safety, and perceived green image positively impacted visitors' satisfaction, which in turn, positively affected their willingness toward service robot's usage and loyalty. Tourists' health consciousness also positively affected their satisfaction and intentions to use robot-delivered services. Additionally, destination healthcare system significantly influenced visitors' satisfaction and loyalty intentions. Theoretical and managerial contributions as well as future research are outlined.

Introduction/Main Objectives: The number of Indonesian students who study abroad has expanded significantly during the past few decades. Nonetheless, the nation has a lot of variables that would assist in the growth of overseas students leaving the country in the future. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the variables influencing the financial literacy of Indonesian students participating in international exchange programs. This study empirically examines how students' financial behavior could be affected by their financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial culture. It also tests how financial literacy can be directly influenced by financial behavior. Additionally, the mediating role of financial behavior has been evaluated. Background Problems: Notwithstanding the rise in the number of students enrolled in international programs, and the availability of such programs in educational institutions worldwide, these students will confront numerous obstacles and difficulties. A vital skill for these students to possess is financial literacy, since there is a lot of emphasis on cost-saving when pursuing higher education in a global setting. However, studies into financial literacy are noticeably lacking, particularly in emerging nations such as Indonesia. Novelty: The current paper adds to the limited studies concerning the financial life of international students by developing an integrated framework to examine the most crucial factors impacting the financial literacy of Indonesian students participating in international exchange programs. Research Methods: An online survey was conducted to gather the primary data from the respondents. The acquired data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. Finding/Results: The research findings showed that financial literacy was significantly impacted by financial behavior, which in turn was impacted by financial knowledge, financial attitudes, and financial culture. The relationship between financial knowledge, financial attitudes, financial culture, and financial literacy was found to be significantly mediated by financial behavior. Conclusion: The present work provides theoretical and managerial contributions regarding managing the financial life of international students in Indonesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number of tourism and hospitality academic journals has witnessed a considerable increase in the last decades, along with a remarkable evolution in their scientific production. This raises the call to systematically review and analyze the publications of such journals. To this end, the current work seeks to conduct a systematic review via exhaustive bibliometric analysis of the content of the International Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Systems (IJHTS) for the period from 2008 to 2022. Different bibliometric metrics were employed to analyze the publications of the IJHTS obtained from the journal's website and Scopus database. As the journal's stature and varied contributions to the field of hospitality and tourism management and systems have expanded, the quantity of publications, contributors, and citations of the IJHTS-related papers have significantly risen over the given period. Theoretical and practical implications have been illustrated. Additionally, the current research limitations and avenues for upcoming academic work have been highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discipline of shopping tourism has seen a surge in published research in recent years, covering a wide range of topics and issues. However, there are surprisingly few reviews and/or bibliometric studies to review and visually map the literature in this field of research. As a result, the present work has employed a comprehensive bibliometric and systematic review concerning shopping tourismrelated articles published in academic journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science databases between 1979 and 2021. Two methodologies were used in this bibliometric analysis. The first is performance analysis, which analyzes the contributions of the components that comprise research in shopping tourism. The second method is scientific mapping, which outlines the connections (i.e., intellectual, social, and conceptual structure) between facets related to shopping tourism. Using Bradford's and Lotka's laws, the research revealed a remarkable increase in shopping tourism sources, authors, and articles, reflecting a substantial evolutionary curve of this research theme. Various affiliations and countries have contributed considerably to shopping tourism research during the period. The analysis of science mapping produced a substantial understanding of shopping tourism's social, intellectual, and conceptual structure. This review article provides several implications for research via perspicuous overviews and insights into shopping tourism, Big Data, and its knowledge structures. It also holds a variety of practical implications for tourism policymakers, destination management organizations (DMOs), and tourism marketers regarding the key themes, new trends, and main contributors to shopping tourism research over four decades of research.

The present study investigates the structural associations between workplace bullying, employee psychological distress, and work engagement within the hospitality setting. It also evaluates the moderating impact of selfcompassion on the direct path between workplace bullying and employee psychological distress. Employing a quantitative approach, PLS-SEM has been applied to analyse the data, collected by survey, from full-time employees at 2-star and 3-star hotels in Antalya. The results indicated that workplace bullying significantly predicted psychological distress and deteriorated employee engagement. In addition, there is a significant effect of employees' psychological distress on their engagement. However, employee self-compassion did not significantly moderate the effect of workplace bullying on psychological distress. The study findings add solid and valuable contributions to concerned scholars and hoteliers by illustrating how bullying behavior could impact employees' psychological distress and their work engagement, considering the interaction role of self-compassion on the link between bullying behavior on employees' psychological distress. Limitations and future research are further discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates how participative leadership and employee voice behavior stimulate innovative behavior, through the moderating role of job autonomy within the SMEs context. Responses from 547 frontline employees at Egyptian travel agents were collected. Using variance-based structural equation modeling (VB-SEM), the results revealed that participative leadership significantly influenced both employees' voice behavior and their innovative behavior. The findings also indicated that employee voice behavior has an intervening role between participative leadership and workers' innovative behavior in travel agents. In addition, participative leadership has higher effects on both employee voice behavior and employee innovative behavior with high levels of job autonomy. Finally, employee voice behavior exercises a stronger effect on the innovation of travel agents' employees with greater levels of job autonomy. Besides theoretical contributions, managerial implications for tourism SMEs managers and practitioners, limitations, and further research directions were all presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research examines the association between intelligent customer experience (ICE) and behavioral brand loyalty through three connected constructs (i.e., customers' satisfaction, brand trust, and brand attachment). A quantitative method was applied by conducting a questionnaire administered face-to-face to 302 French consumers who have used intelligent technologies during their shopping experiences. Employing PLS-SEM, the findings revealed that intelligent customer experience positively affects customer satisfaction and brand trust, which in turn positively impacts brand attachment. Additionally, the three dimensions of brand loyalty are all positively influenced by attachment to the brand. Theoretical and managerial implications, limitations and directions for further work are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the impact of organizational deviance and coworker envy on workplace ostracism. It also assesses the effect of workplace ostracism on knowledge hiding and turnover intent and tests the interaction role of job tension on such associations. PLS-SEM was utilized to analyze 591 responses collected from employees at Egyptian travel agencies-A. The findings articulated that ostracism was positively impacted by both organizational deviance and coworker envy. Additionally, ostracism at the workplace could substantially lead to hiding knowledge; however, there was no significant connection between ostracism and employees' turnover intention. Moreover, job tension moderates the links between workplace ostracism and two dimensions of knowledge hiding behavior, namely evasive and rationalized hiding, and turnover intent. Theoretical and managerial implications are presented. Limitations and avenues for further academic work are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently become the focus of academia and practitioners, reflecting the substantial evolution of scientific production in this area, particularly during the COVID-19 era.

To this end, this study is to specify the research progress on AI among the top-tier journals by highlighting the development of its trends, topics, and key themes. This article employs an integrated bibliometric analysis using evaluative and relational metrics to analyze, map, and outline the key trends and themes of articles published in the leading AI academic journals, based on the latest CiteScore of Scopus-indexed journals between 2020 and 2021. The findings depict the major trends, conceptual and social structures, and key themes of AI leading journals' publications during the given period. This paper represents valuable implications for concerned scholars, research centers, higher education institutions, and various organizations within different domains. Limitations and directions for further research are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Voltage constraints usually place restrictions on how distributed generation (DG) can be connected to weak distribution networks. As DG capacity increases, active voltage control techniques are needed. Active approaches can greatly lower connection costs while boosting the capacity of connectable DG when used in place of the passive strategy. In this article, a modified active voltage control algorithm is used on an IEEE 33 bus system to test the robustness and reliability of the control algorithm under severe conditions. The simulations are carried out using the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) method. Real-time simulations are used to test data transfer and the reliability of the control algorithm's execution. The analysis is based on a three-phase symmetric power system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aims to provide perspicuous insights and solid overviews on research trends and themes within the context of tourism, leisure, and hospitality before and during the COVID-19 era. In doing so, a blend of bibliometric (evaluative and relational) measures was employed to systematically analyze and visually map a total of22787publications in the top fifteen academic journals based on Scopus CiteScore under the category of 'Tourism, Leisure, and Hospitality Management' from 2000 to May 2021. The results of evaluative methods indicate that there is a substantial growth in the number of publications in the selected journals over the given period, especially during the COVID-19 era. Several reputed institutions and nations significantly contributed to the targeted journals. Moreover, key tourism research themes and clusters were specified and an integrated overview on international research collaboration is confirmed. Theoretical and practical contributions are provided. Limitations and future research directions are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the customer experience-satisfaction nexus is a highly developed body of work in the wider literature, this link has scarcely been explored in health tourism. Accordingly, this paper aims to assess the dimensions of health services experiences leading to tourists' satisfaction and the moderating role of trust and emotions in the link between satisfaction and destination loyalty. A PLS-SEM is employed to analyze data from a sample of 225 health tourists in Egypt. The results show that health tourism experiences dimensions significantly affect tourists' satisfaction, which in turn positively impacts their loyalty. Additionally, destination trust and emotions moderate the connection between satisfaction and loyalty. Theoretical contributions arise for scholars and practical ramifications are presented for service providers and stakeholders in the Egyptian health tourism scene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the relationship between empowered leadership (EL), intrinsic motivation (IM), job complexity (JC), and innovative employee behavior (EIB) in the hospitality industry. The study specifically investigates how EL affects EIB and how IM mediates this connection. Furthermore, this study explores the moderating impact of JC on the direct interconnected linkages between EL, IM, and EIB. Our sample comprises 506 employee-supervisor dyads from 45 five-star hotels in the Middle East, representing a variety of international hotel chains. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study finds that EL significantly impacts EIB, which IM subsequently influences. Additionally, we discover that IM acts as a mediator for EL and EIB. Moreover, we find that JC has a moderating impact on the strength of these relationships. Our findings have both theoretical and practical implications for hotel managers and researchers interested in fostering their subordinates' IM and promoting their innovation. We also emphasize the importance of JC in positively influencing the strength of these relationships in the hotel industry. Managers can develop strategies to increase their businesses' competitiveness in this dynamic and competitive sector by better understanding the factors that drive EIB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy prices play a crucial role in combating geopolitical risks, especially for the major suppliers of energy resources. However, energy prices display a bilateral relationship with geopolitical risks in any economy. Any hike in the price of energy stimulates geopolitical risk factors and visa-versa. The consequences adversely impact economies and bring forth international tensions. This paper bridges a gap between the influence of geopolitical risks relating to energy and international tensions by analyzing micro-level operational measures. We deploy an empirical model to predict the energy sector and possible risk factors incorporating Eurostat data on twenty-seven states, from 2011 to 2020. This study collected a different energy variable to support the multiple regression model constructed by the "blocks" (hierarchical linear regression) method. The results suggest that geopolitical risks cause adverse effects on both the energy and other corporate sectors. The future direction of this research is to estimate how statistical model relationships may assist the corporate sector, and investors, in adopting mitigating measures to control upcoming geopolitical risks due to energy risks caused by geopolitical unrest.

This study investigates the influence of psychological contract breach (PCB) on work-related attitudes and behaviors (i.e., organizational cynicism, workplace incivility and work alienation) and employees' emotional exhaustion. It also examines the direct association between these attitudes and behaviors and emotional exhaustion as well as investigating how mindfulness moderates these associations. Based on a quantitative approach, data were collected from 437 employees of Egyptian travel agencies. The PLS-SEM analysis revealed that PCB positively affects employees' emotional exhaustion and job-related attitudes as well as behaviors, which consequently impact their emotional exhaustion. The findings indicated that the effect of organizational cynicism, workplace incivility, and work alienation on emotional exhaustion is weaker with higher levels of mindfulness and greater with lower levels of mindfulness. Besides its theoretical contributions, this paper presents substantial practical insights and managerial implications for managers of travel agencies regarding the outcomes of PCB. Limitations and future research are also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Limited research has examined foreign direct investment (FDI) determinants within the tourism industry, particularly in the MENA region. Thus, based on the internationalization framework of Dunning (Multinational enterprises and the global economy, Addison‐Wesley, 1993), this article aims to empirically investigate and compare the FDI determinants of the tourism industry in Oman and Egypt not only through the investors perceptive but more importantly through other stakeholders perspective such as experts in economy and tourism sector due to their vital role in decision making. It also examines the moderating role of investment environment on the relationship between the determinants and attractiveness of FDI. Further, PLS‐SEM was employed for data analysis purposes. The results revealed that resource‐seeking and efficiency‐seeking have a significant role in both countries. However, though market‐seeking was positive and significant in Egypt, it was found insignificant in Oman. Interestingly, the investment environment has a significant moderating role in both countries. The current study contributes to the literature by providing an obvious understanding of tourism FDI determinants with a special emphasis on the essential view of the related experts. It also presents a clear sight to tourism authorities on the essential factors that attract FDI in tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although Zipf's laws were deployed in various contexts, no previous research has investigated their adoption in tourism academic publications. This study aims to fill this gap by employing Zipf's laws as a content analysis method for analyzing tourism literature, with emphasis on the gamification subject. Employing the DB Gnosis software, the findings revealed that the application of Zipf's laws on obtained tourism gamification articles not only broadens the academic understanding of these laws but also brings about relevant implications for academic literature in tourism. This research provides a new content analysis method in tourism and presents new insights into existing content analysis approaches in tourism. It also adds to the few studies that have addressed the topic of tourism gamification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study sought to propose an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), incorporating further major constructs in tourism marketing (i.e. travel motivation, eWOM, destination image, and destination familiarity) to predict tourists' intention to revisit Egypt. Data were collected using a survey. Responses of 302 visitors to the preferable destinations in Egypt have been analyzed and hypotheses were assessed by employing structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings demonstrate that the extended model has a sturdy illustrative power to well understand travelers' revisit intention. Besides the core TPB constructs, the added variables indeed exert a significant influence on tourists' revisit intention. Further, a mediating role of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control has existed. Academic contributions, practical implications and directions of future research are argued.

Free-living amoebae species, such as Acanthamoeba and Vermamoeba vermiformis are found worldwide and cause severe infections in humans. In the present study, inlet and outlet water samples (n = 96) were collected from conventional and compact drinking water treatment facilities (DWTF), concentrated through nitrocellulose membrane filters (0.45μm pore size) and cultured on non-nutrient agar covered with dead Escherichia coli. The morphologically positive Acanthamoeba and Vermamoeba isolates were subjected to molecular identification and 19 morphologically different Acanthamoeba and two Vermamoeba isolates were genotyped for further confirmation. The results revealed that the predominance free-living amoebae species in surface water samples were belonging to Acanthamoeba (68.8%). All morphologically positive samples for Acanthamoeba proved to be positive by PCR. The conventional DWTF showed better results (66.7%) for removing Acanthamoeba and Vermamoeba vermiformis than the compact DWTF (50%). At the sequence level, three Acanthamoeba genotypes (T3, T4, and T15) and one Vermamoeba species (i.e., Vermamoeba vermiformis) were obtained. In conclusion, conventional DWTF was more effective than compact DWTF in removing Acanthamoeba. The presence of viable Acanthamoeba strains especially the pathogenic types (e.g., Acanthamoeba T4) in outlet water could cause health hazards to consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to determine how festivalscape components (i.e., the festival program, staff, information, and atmosphere) affect the positive and negative emotions of festivalgoers. It also examines the impact of visitors' emotions on their satisfaction. Moreover, it explores the influence of participants' satisfaction on their behavioral intention. To test the research hypotheses, a quantitative approach, with a sample of 300 Tunisian who have attended the International Festival of Carthage, was conducted. The analytical packages (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses) confirmed most of the research hypotheses. The empirical results indicated that the festival information, program, atmosphere and staff are crucial predictors of festivalgoers' emotions. Furthermore, positive and negative emotions seem to predict satisfaction, which in turn is a determinant of tourists' behavior and also influences their intention to revisit and recommend the festival to others. Theoretical and managerial contributions, limitations, and further research directions are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Localization has encountered substantial focus in academia as well as practice; however, scarce studies have empirically examined this theme within tourism-related sectors in Oman, including the aviation sector. That is why the purpose of this paper is to develop and test an integrated model of the key predictors and outcomes of successful localization within the aviation industry. It also evaluates the mediating role of knowledge sharing ability between human resources development (HRD) practices and localization as well as the moderating effect of organizational commitment on the link between localization and firm performance. This paper is based on primary data collected from 194 employees operating in the national aviation sector in Oman. Based on PLS-SEM, the results indicated that HRD practices (i.e., training, performance appraisal, and rewards) have a positive impact on expatriates' ability to share knowledge with national staff, and thus positively impact the localization success. Additionally, the firm's performance is positively influenced by successful localization. Knowledge sharing does not mediate the link between HRD practices and successful localization, but the results confirmed the interactive impact of organizational commitment on the direct connection between localization and performance. The findings contribute significantly to the research community and provide practical guidelines and managerial implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There has been a significant increase in the number of studies addressing smart experiences in the context of tourism (SET). Nevertheless, no previous work has systematically and critically analysed the literature on this subject. To fulfil this gap, this paper examines the evolution of SET as a research topic by mapping the scientific production on it. To this end, 84 papers published from 2011 to April 2019 were retrieved from Scopus. To map this data, a blend of bibliometric analysis techniques, including the analysis of evaluative measures (productivity and impact metrics) and relational techniques (word frequency analysis and key theme analysis), was employed. Evaluative metrics were carried out using Plotly, Excel, and DB Gnosis software. The reviewed papers were then visually analysed through mind maps using BizAgi Process Modeler. The study presents an original theoretical insight, as well as a significant methodological contribution, as it employs an integrative approach of bibliometric analysis that relies on a set of rigorous techniques and can be implemented in future studies.

The results indicated that there is a substantial growing trend and evolution in publications and ranking of the EJTR during the given period. Additionally, a number of leading institutions and countries significantly contributed to the EJTR. Moreover, some top-tier academic journals and authors cited the articles published by the EJTR. Furthermore, the co-occurrence analysis identified seven clusters of research areas among the EJTR published papers over the selected period. Theoretical and practical contributions are presented as well as limitations and further research avenues are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Topic prominence is regarded as a recent indicator that reveals the present momentum of a certain topic by considering the citations, views, and CiteScore thresholds. Topic prominence has been examined in prior research within different contexts, however, there is no known study exploring this trend within tourism and hospitality literature. Therefore, this study aims to analyse and map the topic prominence of Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality Management (TLHM) research by focusing on Switzerland as a case study. The collected data included 337 articles published in 46 journals indexed in Scopus under the subject category of TLHM. The findings concluded that topic prominence is an important indicator for measuring scientific research productivity, including peer-reviewed articles. More particularly, it is revealed that the investigation of topic prominence provides an overall clearer picture of Swiss TLHM research. This study contributes to tourism studies by discussing the usage of the topic prominence metric for tourism and hospitality publications. It also presents practical implications for tourism research managers and researchers by providing solid insights into funded research, scholars' and institutions' performance, and momentum of topics associated with the Swiss TLHM articles.

With the rapidly dramatic environmental change and intensive competition, tourism organisations are required to adopt advanced marketing strategies and techniques. Recently, digital content marketing (DCM) has become one of the most prominent marketing tools that has substantial benefits and influences in different settings and domains. To this end, it is crucial to understand the effect of DCM on consumer behavior within the tourism context. Therefore, this research empirically examines an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) model to investigate and compare the influence of DCM on travel and tourism consumer behavior in two distinct countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. A quantitative approach was adopted by collecting surveys from a convenience sample of 285 and 122 participants in Egypt and Oman, respectively. The findings of PLS‐structural equation modelling revealed that the TAM major constructs were good elucidating the attitude and behavior toward using of DCM for tourism purposes. It is also found that perceived enjoyment and perceived convenience are antecedents of customers' attitudes, which in turn, influence their intention and behavior of using DCM to buy or select a certain tourism product/service. The current study contributes to knowledge of DCM literature in the tourism field in general and within the MENA region in particular. It also adds to studies on TAM and digital technologies by extending two critical constructs related to tourism consumer behavior. The practical implications will greatly support tourism marketers and authorities to develop their tourism strategies and marketing activities. Future research can be expanded to study different target groups comprehending region differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID-19 pandemic has a massive influence upon the working environments of scholars globally. In this paper, we investigate how the changing conditions under which individuals work because of various restrictions have influenced the productivity of scholars based on a global sample of 1073 scholars from 83 countries. The findings show that tourism and non-tourism scholars react in similar ways to the changes in the social and physical environment of the pandemic with one exception: teleworking stressors positively affected all scholars' perceived safety and did not impact tourism scholarly productivity. Tourism and non-tourism researchers' productivity had also a positive relationship with social isolation and perceived safety. Additionally, perceived safety mediated the relationship between the psychological factors and scientific production. Moreover, perceived risk moderated the link between perceived safety and scholarly productivity. This paper contributes to tourism studies by looking at the psychological factors that influence tourism researchers' productivity during COVID-19 and comparing their responses to non-tourism scholars.
