Abstract

The concepts of career mobility and social mobility are gaining momentum as organizational and social practices. This paper develops a comprehensive career mobility checklist based on a mixed-method approach. Human capital theory and career construction theory provide conceptual foundations for developing and testing the relationships of career mobility with social mobility, occupational pride, occupational satisfaction, and industry loyalty. Data from the lodging industry and the non-lodging industry provide cross-validating evidence for the positive relationship between career and social mobility. Career mobility also predicted social mobility while controlling for the effects of occupational pride and satisfaction. Occupational pride and satisfaction appeared to have significant positive relationships with social mobility. These empirical findings are new to the literature, filling a gap to support human capital theory, and provide empirical support for the important implications of career mobility as well as social mobility for tourism and hospitality careers.

职业流动到社会流动：住宿就业及其他方面的案例

职业流动和社会流动的概念作为组织和社会实践正在获得动力。本文基于混合方法开发了一份综合职业流动性清单。人力资本理论和职业建构理论为发展和检验职业流动与社会流动、职业自豪感、职业满意度和行业忠诚之间的关系提供了概念基础。来自住宿行业和非住宿行业的数据为职业与社会流动性之间的正相关关系提供了交叉验证的证据。在控制职业自豪感和职业满意度的影响的同时，职业流动性也能预测社会流动性。职业自豪感和职业满意度与社会流动性有显著的正相关关系。这些实证发现是文献中的新发现，填补了支持人力资本理论的空白，并为职业流动和社会流动对旅游和酒店职业的重要意义提供了实证支持。
