ABSTRACT

This paper investigated the role of psycho-social and political empowerment on residents’ attitudes toward community casino industry. By doing so, we theoretically complemented social exchange theory and provided practical implications. In contrast to the extant literature that examined residents’ attitudes toward tourism development, psychological empowerment and social empowerment were identified as a single factor in the confirmatory factor analysis for attitudes toward casinos. This psychosocial empowerment was found to affect positively to positive attitudes and negatively to negative attitudes. The perceived economic benefit only positively affected positive attitudes. Suggesting that the opportunities to voice a residents’ opinion serve as ways to address the concerns for casinos, political empowerment was found to have a positive impact on the negative attitudes. However, in the larger sense, political empowerment had no significant impact on support for casinos while psychosocial empowerment had the biggest total impact. The results imply that unless the local residents are empowered psychosocially, it would be difficult to draw their support for the casinos.
