Abstract

Purpose The influences of personality type and mood on customer evaluations such as service quality and satisfaction are not yet explored in the tourism and travel literature. Hence, this study aims to: (1) identify the role of personality and mood in customer service quality perceptions and overall satisfaction; and (2) assess these variables' impact on service quality perception-overall satisfaction relationship.
