Acar, Ayşegül; Türten, Burak; Diker, Ersin
Service robots are becoming more prevalent in the service industry, yet the impact they have on customer experiences is not well-documented. This study identified consumer emotions toward service robots in hotels and restaurants, focusing on how specific attributes of these robots affect consumer emotions. Furthermore, it explored which countries generate the most comments on these service robot attributes and the nature of consumer emotions within these regions. Utilizing sentiment analysis, the study examined 52,513 English-language tweets about hotel and restaurant service robots. Additionally, logistic regression analysis helped quantify the impact of robot attributes–categorized as physical, functional, and relational–on different classes of emotions. The findings reveal that customers of restaurants and hotels were most influenced by the physical and relational attributes of service robots, respectively, with functional attributes having the least impact. The logistic regression analysis offered significant insights into how service robot attributes influence consumer experiences in hotels and restaurants.

This study investigates the perspectives of undergraduate tourism and hospitality students on working with robots and the influence of the widespread use of robots on future careers. Accordingly, interviews were conducted with thirty students. The findings include two main categories: working with robots in the tourism and hospitality industry (advantages of working with robots, disadvantages of working with robots, and willingness to work with or implement robots) and future career impacts of the widespread use of robots (threatening human employment, reducing the motivation toward working in the industry, unfair competition between humans and robots, negative psychological impact/feeling of being less skilled than robots, and giving up/changing the industry). This research contributes to the literature by revealing the dimensions of working with robots and the future career impacts of the widespread use of robots. A model of future career impacts of the widespread use of robots was also proposed.
