Drawing on social exchange theory (SET), this study aims to investigate the impact of hotel brand experience (HBE) on developing customer citizenship behaviors (CCBs). A total number of (500) valid questionnaires were collected using convenience sampling to test the measurement model and hypotheses using SmartPLS 4.0.8.2. The results show that hotel brand experience dimensions have a significant impact on CCB, except for hotel location. Hotel staff competence, Hotel website, and social media, guest-to-guest experience, and hotel stay affected CCB, respectively. Thus, these findings help both academics and hotel managers. For academia, the research extends the growing literature that is concerned with experience branding. Moreover, researchers are encouraged to explore other variables that impact CCB directly or indirectly by mediating other variables. For hotel managers, these results will help them when they are tailoring their branding strategies, and the result will guide them to focus their effort on critical dimensions of their hotels' experiences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
