The present research paper is an attempt to understand the role of mediating variables in the relationship of cause related marketing and customer Value. Based on the literature review, the role of service quality and perceived risk as mediators has been analysed in depth. The data for the study has been collected from mobile subscribers of the select telecom companies that were running cause campaigns. The results of the research showed higher total effect than direct effect, which signalled the role of mediators in the relationship of cause related marketing and customer value. Furthermore it is evident from the analysis that service quality has a direct and significant impact on the relationship of Cause related marketing and customer value, as compared to the perceived risk. This research study emphasizes the role of Cause Related Marketing in enhancing customer value via service quality.

This study investigates the role of attributes of organizational change and attitudes toward change as antecedents of well-being at work and how these antecedents vary over the course of an organizational change. Drawing on cognitive theories (a) organization change planning, (b) perceived risk level, and (c) attitudes toward organizational change are examined as antecedents. Attitudes toward change have also been tested as mediators in the relationship between change attributes and well-being. Hypotheses are tested in a three-wave study of 505, 390, and 348 respondents in each wave, involving employees from a Brazilian public organization undergoing a strategic reorientation toward continuous improvement. Attitudes toward change had stable positive effects in each wave, conducted 12, 24, and 48 months after the change was initiated. This study corroborates the findings that uncertainty and risk contribute to the formation of negative cognitions and feelings throughout the process of organizational change but do not necessarily result in discomfort in relation to the work and the organization. The effects of both planning for the change and the perceived risk level were not moderated by time. The results of this study do not support the idea of gradual shifts and discontinuous information processing in employee’s cognitive models. On the contrary, it is possible to conclude that perceptions have been confirmed over time. Implications for managing employee reactions and well-being in different phases of change are discussed.

Using a collection of data among 490 participants from different companies in the field of medical engineering market, we contribute to the role of contact intensity by a business partner when launching new products by introducing trust as a mediator to the concept of perceived risk reduction to enhance the relationship commitment. The findings show that the common concept of risk reduction to enhance the relationship commitment is overrated. In detail, the results show first, that the influence of trust on the relationship commitment is decisive instead of reducing perceived risk by the customer. The contact intensity is only important to enhance trust which influences the relationship commitment in a positive way. Hence, managers should concentrate on the development of trust and not on the reduction of perceived risk of the customer. Second, our findings demonstrate that the attitude whether the customer is averse of affine towards innovations has no influence on the relationship between contact intensity and relationship commitment. This is obviously the opposite of the findings of most researchers in literature who usually state customers need different contacts of the seller to purchase a new product depending on their attitude towards innovations.

The loss of homes to wildfires is an important issue in the USA and other countries. Yet many homeowners living in fire-prone areas do not undertake mitigating actions, such as clearing vegetation, to decrease the risk of losing their home. To better understand the complexity of wildfire risk-mitigation decisions and the role of perceived risk, we conducted a survey of homeowners in a fire-prone area of the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. We examine the relationship between perceived wildfire risk ratings and risk-mitigating behaviours in two ways. First, we model wildfire risk-mitigation behaviours as a function of perceived risk. Then, we model wildfire risk-mitigation behaviours and perceived risk simultaneously. The results of the simultaneous model suggest that perceived risk and wildfire risk-mitigating behaviours are jointly determined. By correctly specifying the relationship between risk perceptions and mitigating behaviours, we are better able to understand the relationship between other factors, such as exposure to a wildfire-mitigation program and wildfire risk-mitigating behaviours. We also find that having a wood roof, as well as homeowner age, income and previous experience with living in a fire-prone area, are associated with wildfire risk-mitigating behaviours.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of brand, commitment, and perceived risk on the relationship of mobile banking (MB) service quality and marketing performance (satisfaction and loyalty). A survey was conducted using a sample of 617 MB customers in Indonesia, i.e., Mobile BCA (BCA), BNI mobile (BNI), and Go mobile (CIMB Niaga). Structural equation modeling analysis was carried out with Warp PLS. The results show that MB service quality positively affects brand, commitment, satisfaction, and loyalty, while perceived risk has no effect. Another finding showed a relationship between brand image, commitment, and perceived risk on customer satisfaction and loyalty, although brand prestige does not affect loyalty. Thus, the partial mediating roles of brand image, commitment, and perceived risk are confirmed in the study. The findings will help academic researchers and bank practitioners understand MB customer attitude and behavior and help them in formulating strategies to manage the use of MB in Indonesia.


With the phenomenal growth of Big Data in e-commerce, applying big data analytics brings negative perception for customers, in one way or another. The research on negative perception of applying big data analytics and the role of perceived risk and trust propensity to consumers’ responses under applying Big Data analytics is lacking. Therefore, the aims of this study are to analyze the role of perceived risk and trust propensity in the relationship between negative perceptions of applying big data analytics and consumers’ responses. A sample of 349 respondents was used in data analysis. The study found out that perceived risk don’t act mediate the relationship between negative perception of applying BDA and consumers’ responses. Besides, customers’ trust propensity was found to moderate the relation of negative perception of applying BDA to customers’ responses and perceived risk to customers’ responses. High trust propensity participants reported stronger responses than those with low trust propensity. It due to customers’ trust on new applications of BDA, hence, it is easy to influence on customers as their negative response when negative perception and perceived risk are rising. The findings of this research will have implications for e-vendors to understand the important role of perceived risk and trust propensity on customers’ responses under Big Data analytics era.

In a social context, customer participation in the innovation process is often accompanied by social exclusion situations, which are generally believed to have a negative impact on individuals. However, research results and marketing practices show that social exclusion can also exert a positive influence on creativity, product selection, perceived risk, and so on. Through two experimental studies, this research explores the relationship between social exclusion and customer participation in innovation. It finds that social exclusion has a positive influence on customer participation in innovation and that customer-company identification mediates this relationship.
