Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of job openings in the overall economy on the performance of hospitality and tourism firms. By using interlinkages theory, the results show that the availability of jobs in the overall economy negatively impacts hospitality and tourism. This effect is pronounced for the hotel and restaurant subsector, while absent for airlines. Apart from critical managerial implications, the main theoretical contribution of the results is the nuanced understanding of interlinkages within the tourism industry, revealing that economic factors such as job opportunities impact subsectors differently. This highlights the importance of considering sector-specific variables and interdependencies in interlinkages theory, rather than treating hospitality and tourism as a homogeneous whole.

工作可得性对酒店和旅游业绩效的影响

本研究分析了整体经济中职位空缺对酒店和旅游公司绩效的影响。通过使用相互联系理论，结果表明，整体经济中的就业机会对酒店和旅游业产生了负面影响。这种影响在酒店和餐饮细分行业尤为明显，而在航空行业则不存在。除了关键的管理意义外，研究结果的主要理论贡献是对旅游业内部联系的细致理解，揭示了就业机会等经济因素对子部门的不同影响。这突出了在相互联系理论中考虑特定部门变量和相互依赖关系的重要性，而不是将接待和旅游业视为一个同质的整体。
