Introduction

Jooa Baek’s academic development combines training in geography with advanced study in hospitality, tourism, and business administration. She earned a Bachelor of Geography from Sungshin Women’s University, a Master of Hospitality and Tourism from Kyung Hee University, and a Ph.D. in Hotel and Tourism Management from Kyung Hee University. She subsequently completed a second Ph.D. in Business Administration with a concentration in Hospitality Management at Temple University’s Fox School of Business in Philadelphia. Her doctoral research addressed customer responses to waiting and the role of quantitative information in service experiences.

Research Profile

Jooa Baek’s research profile is centered on the relationship between consumers and hospitality or tourism service environments. Her studies investigate how customers evaluate service experiences, perceive brands, respond to online information, and make travel or hospitality decisions. The research also considers differences between lifestyle and traditional hotels, consumer preferences for major sporting events, and the development of technology-mediated experiences within hospitality settings.

  • Hospitality marketing and consumer behavior
  • Hotel service experiences and service quality
  • Online hotel booking and digital customer experience
  • Tourism participation and social tourism
  • Smart tourism and mega-sport event travel
  • Hospitality branding, satisfaction, commitment, and customer relationships

Research Contributions

A recurring contribution in Baek’s work is the examination of hospitality services from the customer’s perspective. Her research on online hotel booking explores how design can influence consumer responses, while later studies investigate service experiences and service-quality attributes across different hotel formats. [3] Other research extends this customer-centered perspective to brand experiential value, brand satisfaction, brand commitment, and brand love.

Her tourism research also addresses heterogeneous consumer preferences and behavioral trajectories. Studies of mega-sport event travel packages consider differences among consumers and implications for smart tourism marketing, while research on social tourism applies growth mixture modeling to identify heterogeneous travel-frequency trajectories. These approaches contribute to a more differentiated understanding of tourism markets and customer segments.

Publications

Jooa Baek has contributed peer-reviewed research to hospitality and tourism scholarship, covering hotel service experiences, online booking design, tourism behavior, customer share of wallet, social tourism, and smart tourism marketing. Her publications also examine waiting experiences and consumer evaluations in hospitality settings, demonstrating a sustained focus on customer behavior and service management. [1] [2]
