Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to explore the indirect and direct effect of perceived congruence between fans' identification with a team and the intention to buy sponsor's products. The level of perceived congruence between the sponsor and the sports team, as well as fans' attitude toward the sponsor and their purchase intention toward products from the sponsoring company are analyzed.
Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 2,647 football fans who support two well-known Portuguese professional football teams completed a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling with multigroup analysis was carried out to test the model and the hypotheses.
Findings
Team identification has an effect on perceived congruence, on attitude toward sponsors and on intention to buy. The results also show the positive direct and indirect effects of both perceived congruence on attitude toward the sponsoring company and on purchase intention of sponsors' products. However, neither congruence nor attitude show significant results on purchase intention.
Originality/value
This study departs from previous studies, in that it investigates the direct and indirect (i.e. mediated) effects of perceived congruence. Firstly, it analyzes the mediating effect of perceived congruence between team identification and purchase intentions. Secondly, it explores the mediating effect of perceived congruence between team identification and attitude toward the sponsor.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to explore demographic market segments’ effect on the relationships between memorable tourism experiences (MTEs), perceived value dimensions and tourists’ behavioral intentions.
Design/methodology/approach
The data were collected with an online survey that gathered information on MTEs, economic value, quality value, emotional value, social value and intentions to recommend and revisit. Based on a sample of 1,003 Portuguese tourists, the research model was estimated using partial least squares path modeling.
Findings
The results reveal that MTEs have a positive impact on all four perceived value dimensions. Emotional and social value have a positive effect on recommendation intentions. Tourists from different demographic segments exhibit heterogeneous patterns regarding perceived value dimensions’ influence on these individuals’ behavioral intentions. Emotional value has the strongest impact for females, but males are influenced more by social value. Economic value significantly contributes to younger tourists’ recommendation intention, while quality value has the same effect on the 36–45 age group.
Originality/value
This study extended the existing knowledge by confirming heterogeneity among different tourist segments defined by age and gender regarding the relationships between MTEs, perceived value dimensions and behavioral intentions.
目的
本研究旨在探讨人口统计细分市场对难忘旅游体验 (MTE)、感知价值维度和游客行为意愿之间关系的影响。
设计
数据通过在线调查收集。该调查收集了有关 MTE、经济价值、质量价值、情感价值、社会价值以及推荐和重访意愿的信息。研究模型根据 1,003 名葡萄牙游客的样本使用偏最小二乘路径模型进行分析验证。
结果
分析结果表明, MTE 对所有四个感知价值维度都有积极影响。情感价值和社会价值对推荐意愿有正向影响。在游客的感知价值维度对他们行为意愿的影响方面, 不同人口统计背景的群体表现出不同的模式。情感价值对女性的行为意愿影响最大, 而社会价值对男性行为意愿影响最大。对于年轻群体, 经济价值影响其推荐意愿, 而对于 36–45 年龄组的群体, 则是质量价值影响其推荐意愿。
原创性
本研究证明按年龄和性别定义的不同旅游群体对于 MTE、感知价值维度和行为意愿之间关系的异质性, 从而扩展了现有文献。
Propósito
Este estudio buscó explorar el efecto de los segmentos demográficos en la relación entre las experiencias turísticas memorables (MTE, por sus siglas en inglés memorable tourism experiences), las dimensiones del valor percibido y las intenciones de comportamiento de los turistas.
Diseño
Los datos se recogieron mediante una encuesta online que recopiló información sobre MTEs, valor económico, valor de calidad, valor emocional, valor social, intención de recomendar y de revisita. El modelo de investigación se estimó en base a una muestra de 1.003 turistas portugueses aplicando la metodología de mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS).
Resultados
Los resultados revelan que las MTE tienen un impacto positivo en las cuatro dimensiones del valor percibido. El valor emocional y social tiene un efecto positivo en las intenciones de recomendación. Los turistas de diferentes segmentos demográficos exhiben patrones heterogéneos en cuanto a la influencia de las dimensiones del valor percibido en las intenciones de comportamiento. El valor emocional tiene el impacto más fuerte para las mujeres y el valor social para los hombres. El valor económico es relevante para explicar las intenciones de recomendación para el grupo más joven y el valor de calidad para el grupo de edad de 36 a 45 años.
Originalidad
Este estudio amplía el conocimiento existente al confirmar la heterogeneidad entre los diferentes segmentos turísticos definidos por edad y género con respecto a las relaciones entre los MTE, las dimensiones del valor percibido y las intenciones de comportamiento.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to perform a scientific mapping and detect the evolution pattern of two emerging fields, organizational capabilities and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), to detect and visualize the existing conceptual domains and identify less-explored areas.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a methodological combination involving systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. The methodology was implemented in the following order: definition and selection of the material using an electronic database, descriptive analysis of the material, category selection using bibliographic coupling analysis by VOSviewer (clusterization), material evaluation and content analysis.
Findings
The research results clarify the intellectual structure within the academic field. The authors’ identified three main clusters: (1) sustainable capabilities and practices in supply chain management (SCM), (2) green SCM and performance and (3) information technology and innovation. The findings reveal that there is a rich field to be explored, especially regarding issues involving sustainable technological capabilities, sustainable initiatives and key resource development.
Practical implications
This study facilitates researchers’ and practitioners’ understanding and their ability to map the different paths and evolution of SSCM and organizational capabilities. It can encourage managers and policymakers alike to conceive new approaches to engage in the adoption of SSCM.
Originality/value
This work employs a singular approach to identify the intellectual knowledge and topics related to the implementation of SSCM by adopting the theoretical approach of sustainable organizational capacity. It contributes to the debate on distinguishing specific sustainable organizational capabilities from traditional capabilities.
