“…Service failure could lead to a negative impact on travel destinations. The previous studies indicated that tourists’ travel risk and management perception may negatively influence tourists’ decision making [ 35 , 36 ]. Professional service delivery and timely response could reduce tourists’ travel risk and management perceptions.…”

This study aims to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourists’ travel risk and management perceptions. Driven on the effect of the pandemic, we investigate tourists’ travel risk and management perceptions and its effect on society using a sample of 716 respondents. The data was collected through social media platforms using a representative sampling method and analyzed applying the PLS-SEM tool. The findings reveal that Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected travel risk and management perceptions. Travel risk and management perception had a significant association with risk management, service delivery, transportation patterns, distribution channels, avoidance of overpopulated destinations, and hygiene and safety. The results also identified the mediating effect of travel risk and management perceptions. The finding of this study contributes to tourism crises and provides future research insights in the travel and tourism sector and response to change tourists’ travel risk and management perceptions in the post-covid recovery period.

As a result, over the period this disintegration of SQ in two different sectors (i.e.…”

“…service sector and manufacturing sector) has led to an unending ordeal of poor SQ in the manufacturing sector ( Berardino and Onesti, 2020 ; Dias et al., 2020 ; Rosenzweig et al., 2019 ). Although, in a theoretical point of view only service sector/service industry seems to be more concerned with the delivery of SQ ( Lanza et al., 2021 ; Mandhani et al., 2020 ; Peng et al., 2014 ; Qin et al., 2010 ). However, this study argues that inseparable and inextricable nature of service (see Parasuraman et al., 1985 , p. 42) from it’s origin/providers warrants a premeditated integration of SQ in the manufacturing sector ( Dias et al., 2020 ; Ertekin et al., 2020 ; Farooq et al., 2018a ; Wang et al., 2003 ).…”

Implementation of cleaner production practices (CPP), service quality (SQ) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is often studied at organizational level. A number of studies on trio have reported it’s significant impact on overall organizational performance and profitability across the globe. However, not much is studied about the individual level micro influence of these constructs on employee engagement (EE), organizational pride (OP), organizational identification (OI) and “desire to have a significant impact through work” (DSIW). Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR on EE, OP, OI and DSIW. Data collected from 320 non-managerial staff members employed at a garments manufacturing company in Pakistan was analyzed using partial least square (PLS) approach. Findings revealed that the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR plays an important role in shaping EE, OP, OI and DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. Further, it is found that the implementation of CPP has a non-significant impact on SQ. Additionally, results of the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) have also confirmed that the implementation of CPP at company level has shown a highest importance and performance amongst all the latent constructs proposed as predictors of DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. These findings are a step forward and unique contribution of this study in the domain of CPP, SQ, CSR, EE, OP, OI and DSIW.

“…Service arcs represent scheduled services, providing capacity for a set of commodities transported over transportation assets. The SND models have been employed in maritime transportation [19], rail transportation [20], land-based long-haul transportation [21], tactical planning of parcel delivery with autonomous vehicles [22,23], air freight parcel delivery [24,25], intermodal transportation [26], bus schedules [27], and service quality improvement [28].…”

An Iterative Backbone Algorithm for Service Network Design Problems

2022

Service network design problems arise at airlines, trucking companies, and railroads wherever there is a need to determine cost-minimizing routes and schedules, given resource availability and service constraints. In recent years, the application of consolidation-based service network design in the express service has attracted lots of academic attention due to the rapid growth of the express industry. This paper studies the consolidation-based service network design problem, which jointly determines the commodity flow, vehicle dispatching, and fleet sizing. We propose a mixed-integer optimization model to address the problem and design an efficient iterative backbone algorithm to solve large-scale real-world problems. The numerical results of large-scale instances confirmed that the solution obtained by our proposed algorithm is better than that of the primal model, and the running time taken is less than half that of the general solution approach. The computational study confirmed the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
