Kurzfassung/Abstract

We examine the crucial role of helplessness in explaining idiosyncratic coping responses to anger and frustration after service failure (a). Moreover, we examine the mitigating effect of informational support (i.e., explanations) on these emotions (b). With respect to (a), it is argued that the coincidence of anger (frustration) and high levels of helplessness enhances vindictive nWOM (support-seeking nWOM), whereas the coincidence of anger (frustration) and low levels of helplessness enhances vindictive complaining (problem-solving complaining). With respect to (b), it is argued that a retrospective explanation mitigates anger, whereas a prospective explanation mitigates helplessness. Using partial least squares modeling, these assumptions are tested and supported in an experiment and in a field survey with hotel guests. Finally, we delineate implications for theory and practice.
