“…In contrast, our research on boycott overload suggests the opposite, where inaction may be accompanied by those very same negative feelings. In conventional cases of choice overload, usually relating to purchase decisions, consumers who are faced with too many purchase options, feel a sense of regret (Scheibehenne, Greifeneder, & Todd, ) or dissatisfaction with their decision (Haynes, ; Thai & Yuksel, ). In some cases, they may even decide to forego a purchase (Chernev et al, ).…”

“…When consumers are exposed to many products or services they may experience negative choice overload effects, leading to regret, dissatisfaction, deferring a choice, and/or rejecting choice altogether, which may even result in no purchases being made (Chernev et al, ; Thai & Yuksel, ). This is because when faced with numerous options, consumers need to make trade‐offs or comparisons among alternatives, which may all be equally attractive.…”

The Internet and social media have increased the number of organizations and individuals asking consumers to sign petitions against transgressing brands. This raises a question as to whether such increases in requests to sign a petition to support a boycott positively or negatively impact on consumer willingness to enact anti-consumption. Via experiments, this study investigates the effect that choice overload has on consumers signing a petition in support of a boycott call. The findings establish that individuals who need to make a choice from numerous boycott calls (i.e., large choice-sets) are less likely to sign a petition to support a boycott than individuals making a similar choice from a small number of boycott calls (i.e., small choice-sets). The study further introduces a mediator that explains this effect. Compared with individuals facing a small choice-set, those facing numerous options are more likely to experience the small-agent rationalization, and thus, are less likely to sign the petition to support a boycott. The small-agent rationalization (SAR) relates to one's acceptance of inequity in the world as well as perceptions of their own powerlessness. The study establishes the role of choice overload in boycott literature and empirically tests SAR as the process mechanism.Theoretical, practical, and policy implications are discussed.

“…Kim, Kim, and Kim 2018). For example, Thai and Yuksel (2017) suggested that self-confidence reduces the negative effect of choice overload. In particular, in situations wherein a large number of travel options are available, travelers with high (vs. low) self-confidence presented a positive evaluation of the final destination by reducing the uncertainty of their decision.…”

This research examines a contextual trigger, namely, choice architecture, which induces pro-environmental behavior among travelers. In particular, we test whether decision modes (choice vs. rejection) affect travelers’ preference for a sustainable hotel over a less sustainable one, and if yes, how moral hypocrisy mediates the link between decision modes and preference. Results of a series of five experimental studies show that choice decision mode has increased travelers’ preference for a pro-environmental hotel, which is mediated by different types of information processing (elaborate vs. deliberative processing), thereby refuting the potential alternative explanations (i.e., mood) of the findings. This article contributes to the literature by introducing a critical factor, namely, choice architecture, which significantly affects travelers’ preferences for pro-environmental hotels. The implications of the findings are discussed for both practitioners and researchers.

“…Aside from infrastructure and "content" of the destination, promotion and advertising play important role in attracting tourists. This is important because tourists nowadays are faced with so many options of holiday destinations to choose from many countries globally (Thai & Yuksel, 2017). Above the line advertising has long been recognized and used as the main strategy in executing promotion of products.…”

Social media is one of the most important elements in the process of industry 4.0. It has transformed itself into not just a platform for social interactions, but into a powerful marketing tool. People posting pictures or information through social media will likely influence others seeing it. This research investigates the impact of social media postings on millennial (Gen Y) tourists' decision in choosing destinations, as well as the perceptions of social media users toward the information they gather from the social media about the tourism destinations. World Travel and Tourism Council in its release in 2018 revealed that tourism industry represents 10.4% of total global GDP. The industry has also contributed 20% of new jobs globally created in the last decade. The findings from samples taken from respondents in greater Jakarta (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi) show that social media contributes significantly on shaping the millennial tourists' decision in choosing their holiday destinations.
