Ecological degradation is an escalating global threat. Increasingly, people are expressing awareness and priority for concerns about environmental problems surrounding them. Environmental protection issues are highlighted. An appropriate information technology tool, the growing popular social network system (virtual community, VC), facilitates public education and engagement with applications for existent problems effectively. Particularly, the exploration of related involvement behavior of VC member engagement is an interesting topic. Nevertheless, member engagement processes comprise interrelated sub‐processes that reflect an interactive experience within VCs as well as the value co‐creation model. To address the top‐focused ecotourism VCs, this study presents an application of a hybrid expert‐based ISM model and DEMATEL model based on multi‐criteria decision making tools to investigate the complex multidimensional and dynamic nature of member engagement. Our research findings provide insightful managerial implications and suggest that the viral marketing of ecotourism protection is concerned with practitioners and academicians alike.

Human resource capability is valuable, rare, irreplaceable, and difficult to imitate; therefore, it is crucial for creating sustainable competitive advantages. Human resource capability can be appropriately used to improve the performance of an organization. This study adopted a process perspective to propose an integrated model that comprehensively considers the key variables of human resource capability and organizational effectiveness. In addition, empirical research was conducted by using a state-owned Company-A as an example. The theory of service-profit chain posits that internal customer satisfaction and loyalty influences customer satisfaction and loyalty before affecting a company's profitability and growth. Consequently, we explore the effects of human resource capability, internal customer satisfaction and commitment, and organizational effectiveness. Based on research findings, insightful and practical guidance is suggested for leveraging human resource capability to enhance organizational performance.
