Abstract:
ABSTRACT Training has been found to link with improving job satisfaction and employee intention to stay. The purposes of this research were to investigate the expectations and perceptions of training quality between hotel managers and employees, and to suggest implications for improving training quality and increasing training satisfaction, job satisfaction, and intention to stay among employees in the hotel industry. The conceptual model of this study was developed based on SERVQUAL and the ServiceProfit Chain model. T-test showed that employees perceived low training quality, which suggested employees were not satisfied with training quality and that training quality needed improvement. Results of regression analysis showed that training was positively related to training satisfaction and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction led positively to intention to stay. The indirect effect of training quality on intention to stay was mediated by job satisfaction. This study suggests more understanding of the importance of training quality and its consequences, and to pay more attention to employee training.Keywords:

The nature of HRM and the extent to which it is adopted by industry is reviewed. HRM in the hotel and catering industry is compared with other sectors of industry, including small to medium size organizations. The literature concerning HRM and performance is briefly reviewed and its relevance to service industries, and the hotel industry is addressed. Service quality is identified as a performance indicator. Determinants of service quality are considered in relation to HRM. The need for additional research is identified.

The findings on the relationship between job demands and job performance have been inconsistent in previous studies. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examined the moderating effect of job security on the job demands – job performance relationship. Three studies with cross‐sectional and time‐lagged designs were conducted. The results of Studies 1 and 2 consistently demonstrated that job demands significantly improved employee performance in the context of higher job security, whereas job demands impaired performance to some extent when job security was lower. Study 3 replicated these findings and also showed that the positive moderating effect was stronger for employees with lower rather than higher levels of traditionality. The importance of job security to improving employees’ performance in stressful workplaces was affirmed. These findings contribute to theories linking job demands to job performance and have practical implications for managers in high‐stress environments, especially in developing countries. Practitioner points Job demands may lead to good performance when employees’ job security is high. Appropriate human resource practices should promise employees’ perceived job security rather than only reducing job demands. Employers should pay more attention to maintaining the social exchange relationships with employees having lower traditional values.

The role and importance of service quality for hotel businesses cannot be contested. It is extremely important for managers to understand customers’ expectations. As a result, the paper presents an application of the Servqual model on the hotel industry in Romania. By using the Servqual scale, the article highlights the service dimensions Romanian consumers appreciate most in the hotel industry. The results show whether consumers are satisfied with the quality of Romanian hotel services. The implications of these results are discussed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technology has been employed in many parts of the hospitality and tourism industry. The present paper aims to evaluate the factors of the service quality (SERVQUAL) approach in the digital hospitality industry. The present research prioritised the SERVQUAL factors for the digital hospitality industry in Iran using the analytic network process (ANP). The data collection instrument was an ANP questionnaire, and data were collected in 2021. In the present research, five criteria and 20 sub-criteria were used for SERVQUAL in the field of digital hospitality. The most influencing criteria were intangibles, and among the sub-criteria, the most important one was mobile integrity. This study helps hospitality managers and policymakers to improve their use of digital services by emphasising the most influential factors in the hospitality industry.

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between job autonomy and work outcomes (job performance, job satisfaction and job stress), self efficacy as a mediating variable. This research also investigated the impact of job satisfaction on job performance and job stress on job performance. Va-riables in this research were measured via a survey of 190 banking salespersons in D.I. Yogyakarta and Solo. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to examine the effects of job autonomy on work outcomes, job satisfaction on job performance, and job stress on job performance. Results showed that the esti-mated model in this research is acceptable based on its score of the goodness of fit index. The structural relationship showed that job autonomy significantly related to job satisfaction and performance, but not significant with job stress. It also showed that self efficacy partially mediated the relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction, and job performance. In addition, this research found that self efficacy not mediated the relationship between job autonomy and job stress. There was no significant relationship between job autonomy and job performance but this research showed that job satisfaction significantly related to job performance. Finally, these results had an important implication to managers in designing job.

Although the development of hotel industry can create new job opportunities it is often criticized that the hotel industry provides low skilled and less paid jobs. If todays students are going to be the hotel managers of tomorrow its important to understand their perceptions about hotel jobs. This paper focuses on final year students who have completed their industrial trainings and are ready for placement in hotels. The study finds that the students respondent neither favorable nor unfavorable towards the hotel jobs. The findings also show that there is willingness to work in hotel related jobs or study further about hospitality industry. Though the impact is debatable, a students negative work experience during the industrial training can influence their image of hotel industry.
