The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential influence of the mobile banking (M banking) servicescape on customer attitude and engagement. The stimulus-organism-response framework was adapted to formulate a conceptual model, in which the M banking servicescape was modelled as an antecedent (stimulus) of customer attitudes towards M banking (organism), in turn directing customer behaviour (response), namely, customer engagement.

A web-based survey of 345 M banking users was conducted to gather data. The structural equation modelling technique was employed to analyse the conceptual model and test the proposed set of hypotheses.

The results of data analyses showed that M banking servicescape is a strong predictor of customer attitude towards M banking, which then influences customer engagement. The findings also demonstrate that customer attitudes towards M banking mediate both the M banking servicescape and engagement.

The extension of servicescape literature from the physical to the online context of M banking provides a notable new realm in which academicians can extend the current paradigms. This study also enhances understanding of potential improvements to customer attitude towards and engagement with M banking.

This paper aims to provide empirical evidence of relationship between perceived service innovativeness, image-congruence, satisfaction and behavioral outcomes at the customer level. It hypothesizes a moderated mediation model, denoting that perceived service innovativeness relates to image-congruity dimensions, which, in turn, will promote satisfaction at cognitive and affective level, thereby creating strong behavioral outcomes.

Data were collected through online surveys. The survey aimed at measuring the hypothesized constructs and other study-relevant information. Hypotheses were tested using the structural equation modeling technique.

This paper validates the role of perceived service innovativeness as a mechanism facilitating development and transfer of customer’s image-congruence toward a service firm. It also finds that the image-congruity dimensions fully mediate the relationship between perceived innovativeness and satisfaction. The resultant customer satisfaction leads to the development of behavioral outcomes. Further, the study finds that perceived innovativeness have varying effects on image-congruence dimensions depending upon customer’s prior experience.

The study provides evidence to managers that the customer-centric value creation through image-congruence requires development of positive perceived service innovativeness, which will result in customer satisfaction and their behavioral outcomes.

The study is the first attempt to find empirical support for the role of perceived service innovativeness to create customer’s image congruity with a service firm. Further, analyzing how perceived service innovativeness, image-congruence, customer satisfaction and behavioral outcomes are related to each other is also an important contribution.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, develop and test a conceptual model to understand the relationship between customers’ servicescape perceptions, self-image congruity and attitude in healthcare context. Second, to examine the extent to which the relationship between customers’ self-image congruity to attitude in a fully mediated model is moderated by their prior experience.

Utilizing a self-administered survey of 320 customers, the study tested the proposed relationships with robust data analytic techniques.

The results show that favorable servicescape perceptions help customers to form image congruence in terms of symbolic and functional elements and thereby strengthen their attitude. Further, servicescape accentuated image congruence have varying effects on customers’ attitude depending up on customers’ prior experience.

This study emphasized the role of servicescape on self-image congruity formation and customer attitude in a new service context (healthcare), and contribute to the body of existing knowledge on servicescapes and image congruity and further verify the soundness and robustness of the integrative theoretical framework.

Favorable servicescape perceptions may encourage customers to form image congruence and attitude. In this respect, managers should make efforts to signal desired servicescape perceptions in order to retain existing customers and attract new ones.

This study was the first to apply an integrative perspective of inference theory and image congruity theory to the context of hospital services to understand the relationship between servicescape, image-congruity and customer attitude.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) and green relationship quality (GRQ) on green service innovation (GSI).

The authors mailed 1,898 questionnaires to the sampled companies. Ultimately, 207 companies participated in the authors’ study. This resulted in a valid sample of 542 hotel managers.

The research results indicate that GEO improves GRQ and GSI. Furthermore, GRQ positively affects GSI and mediates the relationship between GEO and GSI.

The authors’ study enhances the quality of nature and highlights the mediation role of GRQ.

Firms can create and establish GRQ to enhance their GSI.

The authors’ study shows that environmentally friendly firms can enhance natural locations and conditions of natural resources.

This study aims to develop a context-specific model of GEO for hospitality managers.
