Many scholars and practitioners have investigated the factors that possibly influence how customers perceive and evaluate the offering services. The Service-Dominant Perspective suggests that perceiving innovation of service delivery may delight customers' experience, hence resulting in more favourable behaviour intentions toward the service operation. Notably, there are schools of thoughts arguing the different impacts of transaction-specific satisfaction and overall satisfaction toward customer behavioural intentions. Therefore, this study proposes a conceptual framework to examine the impacts of transaction-specific satisfaction versus overall satisfaction through perceived innovativeness. Theory of Expectation Confirmation, Diffusion of Innovation Theory and Theory of Planned Behaviour were employed to construct the conceptual framework. Based on the fundamental theories and the relevant literature, this study proposes that perceived Innovative Service Clues can reflect transaction-specific satisfaction whereas perceived Innovativeness can reflect the overall satisfaction. Furthermore, this study will provide practical implications by investigating customer satisfaction of innovativeness in the case of boutique hotel concept in Vietnam. The paper concludes with the framework's potential implications, limitations and suggestions for further investigation.
