“…This corroborated prior literature in which vulnerable populations with fewer resources prior to the disaster are negatively psychologically affected by resource loss (Hobfoll et al, 2015 ). Perceived social support was related to better mental health in both populations which also aligned with prior literature (Blazer, 2008 ; Nisar et al, 2021 ); however, it did not demonstrate any consistent buffering effects against the impact of resource loss on mental health. Finally, within the sample of individuals with a chronic illness, we found the positive psychological traits of resilience and optimism did have a buffering effect (albeit small) on the impact of resource loss on mental health.…”

“…First, it is worth noting that there were significant main effects for social support such that higher levels were related to less anxiety, depression and psychological distress, which is consistent with prior disaster literature (Blazer, 2008 , Nisar et al, 2021 ), as well as the literature on older adult distress (Krause, 2006 ). However, these effects were small to moderate in magnitude.…”

“…In a cross‐national sample following Hurricane Georges, perceived social support was inversely related to psychological distress (Sattler et al, 2002 ). In the context of COVID‐19, social support was related to lower levels of depression (Nisar et al, 2021 ). In sum, it appears that beginning with or maintaining high levels of perceived social support could buffer the effects of other types of resource loss on mental health.…”

Resource loss and mental health during COVID‐19: Psychosocial protective factors among U.S. older adults and those with chronic disease

et al. 2021

Across the globe, COVID‐19 has disproportionately affected the physical and mental health of several vulnerable groups. In a series of two cross‐sectional studies conducted April to July 2020, we examined its acute mental health effects on two vulnerable U.S. community samples—home‐bound older adults who were at or below the poverty line (Study 1, N = 293, M age = 76.94, SD = 8.64; 75.1% female, 67.9% Black) and adults with chronic disease (Study 2, N = 322, M age = 62.20, SD = 12.22; 46.3% female, 28.3% racial/ethnic minorities). Based on the conservation of resources theory, we hypothesised that pandemic‐related resource loss would be associated with greater mental distress, but perceived social support and positive psychological characteristics (trait resilience and optimism) would buffer against this adverse effect. Across both samples of vulnerable adults, pandemic‐related resource loss was related to mental distress. Perceived social support was related to lower mental distress but did not consistently buffer the effect of resource loss on mental health. However, in Study 2, both trait resilience and optimism buffered this relationship. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the conservation of resources theory.

“…Moreover, Starbucks managers might need to concentrate on hygiene-related aspects, such as open kitchens and maintaining clean kitchen conditions with employee training. Starbucks managers might also consider preparing quarantine-related equipment and items (e.g., thermometers, hand sanitizer, emphasizing wearing mask in stores to both employee and customers, and employee training in quarantine procedures) [82]. Additionally, Starbucks managers might allot their capabilities to develop an easier online ordering system and smartphone application system regarding the importance of technological infrastructure for competitiveness in hospitality [83,84].…”

Antecedents of Purchase Intention at Starbucks in the Context of Covid-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The purpose of this research is to examine the determinants of coffee shop purchase intention. The research domain is Starbucks, which is the brand ranked first in the coffee shop market. This study selects healthiness, hygiene, quarantine, ease of app use, and environmental responsibility as candidates for the antecedents of purchase intention. For hypothesis testing, this research used a survey and recruited survey participants using Amazon Mechanical Turk, and carried out multiple linear regressions to test research hypotheses. The number of valid observations for the data analysis is 474. It was found that purchase intention is positively influenced by healthiness, hygiene, quarantine, and ease of app use. However, environmental responsibility was identified as a nonsignificant attribute to account for purchase intention. Practical implications are presented for coffee shop management. The outcomes contribute to the literature by scrutinizing café customers’ purchase intention with various attributes.

“…COVID-19 has particularly dramatically affected tourism. Countries around the globe have placed strict restrictions on national and international travel [2][3][4][5]. These unprecedented restrictions have caused stakeholders to reduce or halt their operations within the tourism supply chain.…”

Examining Factors Influencing COVID-19 Vaccine Tourism for International Tourists

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on global tourism. Vaccine tourism is a novel health tourism concept, which provides an opportunity for countries with a vaccine surplus to offer medical tourism packages to entice international tourists from countries with vaccine shortages to visit for sightseeing and receive vaccine inoculations. Understanding the factors that influence people to adopt vaccine tourism is one of the strategies that could boost a country’s tourism sector and help to revive the local economy. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the intention to adopt and recommend COVID-19 vaccine tourism among young travelers. A total of 179 questionnaire surveys were collected from traveling-related social media outlets. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was performed to analyze the data. The results indicate that young tourists in Thailand are inclined to promote vaccine tourism to others. Price value appears to be the most significant influencing factor on intentions to both adopt and recommend vaccine tourism. Additionally, trust in the foreign healthcare system was positively associated with young travelers’ intention to recommend vaccine tourism to others. Theoretically, this research adds to the medical tourism literature, suggesting that, while trust is an important factor influencing the medical tourism decision, it appears to be insignificant in the context of vaccine tourism.
