摘要
This paper examines the antecedents and consequences of customer intentions to write fake online reviews on Agoda.com as a case in the hospitality context. Brand nostalgia, brand strength, moral attitude, review-related skepticism, and perceived unfairness were represented as antecedents of customer intentions, while boycott behavior, willingness to pay a price premium, and customer satisfaction were represented as consequences of their intentions. Data was gathered using a structured survey from 373 Italian, 440 French, and 392 British customers. Findings present significant insights into customer intentions to write fake online reviews. In addition, multi-group analysis highlights the differences among nationalities. This paper provides valuable insights for industry professionals and policymakers in the hospitality industry.
