The study reveals that customers/tourists' willingness to use service robots is influenced by the perception of robot appearance and service context. A warm appearance is preferred in hedonic service contexts, while a competent appearance is preferred in utilitarian service contexts, driven mainly by trust.
This study examines the influence of the perception of robot appearance and service context on customers'/tourists' intention to use robots. Four studies confirm a congruity effect between the perception of service robot appearance and service context. Results suggest that customers/tourists are more willing to use a service robot perceived as warm in hedonic service contexts, whereas they are more willing to use a service robot perceived as competent in utilitarian service contexts. These effects are driven by trust. This study offers a novel perspective on customers'/tourists' reactions to service robots. It also provides insights for hospitality and tourism practitioners making decisions about robot adoption. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
