服务诚信问题是旅游业中备受关注的一个现实问题。已有研究从企业层面分析了旅行社整体诚信度对顾客与企业关系的影响,但对于单次服务中不诚信行为如何影响顾客信任,尚缺乏深入的探讨。文章试图用心理契约违背理论来分析服务不诚信行为对顾客信任的影响过程,同时考虑企业声誉在其中的作用。在访谈研究的基础上,文章通过情景实验法来检验研究假设。实验结果表明,服务不诚信行为不仅导致顾客对旅游服务的期望未被满足,也让顾客感觉自己遭到背叛,因而造成顾客对企业的信任感降低。企业声誉在顾客信任违背过程中发挥着双面效应,既有缓冲的作用,也有激化的作用。但总的来说,在高声誉条件下,不诚信行为严重程度越高所造成的顾客负面反应变化幅度更大。
服務誠信問題是旅遊業中備受關註的一箇現實問題。已有研究從企業層麵分析瞭旅行社整體誠信度對顧客與企業關繫的影響,但對于單次服務中不誠信行為如何影響顧客信任,尚缺乏深入的探討。文章試圖用心理契約違揹理論來分析服務不誠信行為對顧客信任的影響過程,同時攷慮企業聲譽在其中的作用。在訪談研究的基礎上,文章通過情景實驗法來檢驗研究假設。實驗結果錶明,服務不誠信行為不僅導緻顧客對旅遊服務的期望未被滿足,也讓顧客感覺自己遭到揹叛,因而造成顧客對企業的信任感降低。企業聲譽在顧客信任違揹過程中髮揮著雙麵效應,既有緩遲的作用,也有激化的作用。但總的來說,在高聲譽條件下,不誠信行為嚴重程度越高所造成的顧客負麵反應變化幅度更大。

Business integrity in services relating to the travel industry is of significant concern in China. Deceitful behaviour within the industry, such as employing inadequately trained guides and changing travel itineraries without approval, constitutes over half of the domestic tourist complaints. Such improper behavior has placed the integrity of travel agents into question, and has resulted in a loss of public trust in the entire industry. Previous research has investigated how overall corporate integrity affects customer trust ; however, few studies have focused on the influence of integrity issues in the service delivery. This study uses psychological contract violation theories to explain how integrity issues in service delivery affect customer trust, and investigates the effects on corporate reputation. This study proposed customer perceived unmet expectations and perceived betrayal as mediators to investigate customer reactions to integrity issues as a process of integrity - based trust violation. In the first study stage, a small sample of customer interviews was conducted among those who had experienced integrity issues in travel services, providing primary evidence that supported the hypothesis. Subsequently, a 2 x 2 scenario - based experiment was undertaken using the severity of the integrity issue (high vs. low) and corporate reputation (high vs. low) as between - subjects factors. In the main experiment, 120 domestic passengers in Guangzhou Baiyun airport, Guangdong Province, China were recruited for compensation of 3 RMB and were randomly assigned to one of the four cells. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on manipulation checks of the severity of integrity issue and corporate reputation indicate results consistent with expectations. Respondents in the high severity condition have a significantly higher perception of the severity of integrity issue than do those in a low condition (4.58 vs. 5.58,p〈0.001 ), while there is no difference in perceptions between the groups on corporate reputation (5.07 vs. 4.98,p〉0.1). The manipulation check of corporate reputation showed similar patterns. The ANOVA analysis results indicate the main effects of integrity issue severity on customer trust, and further supports the mediation effects of perceived unmet expectation and perceived betrayal. Specifically, the severity of the integrity issue negatively affects customer' s perceived expectation unmet and perceived betrayal, and thus damages customer trust. Moreover, corporate reputation acts as a double - edged sword in the trust violation process that buffers the influences of integrity issues in the low - severity situations and strengthens those influences in the high - severity situations. These findings imply the necessity of corporate integrity in the travel industry. Travel agencies and operators should regard integrity as a code of conduct, create an environment that supports ethical behavior, and instill a sense of accountability among employees. It is essential for travel service companies to initiate timely efforts to combat the negative influences of integrity issues. For example, refunds and compensations that focus on improving service performance outcomes help to remedy the unmet expectations of customers, while social interactions such as apologies and explanations are helpful to rebuild customer relationships. Furthermore, at the industry level, a travel agency and operator credit information system needs to be established. By effectively reducing information asymmetry, a well - established credit information system is deemed to restrain the opportunistic behavior of travel service companies. This study contributes to existing literature by investigating the mediating process of integrity - based trust violation. The emphasis on psychological contract violation extends the prior trust violation model.
