Specifically, this paper examines WE as the mediator between I-deals, PP and employees’ job performance (e.g., CP and PCSP). The conceptual model was tested via the data collected from hotel frontline employees in 4- and 5- star hotels in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The results showed that I-deals and hotel frontline employees’ PP have positive effect on WE, as well as WE has positive influence on hotel frontline employees’ CP and PCSP. The results showed that PP improves job performance whereas I-deals are not. In addition, WE mediates the relationships between PP and CP. This article provides theoretical and managerial implications, as well as limitations and future research directions.","PeriodicalId":35371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resources in Hospitality and Tourism","volume":"20 1","pages":"75 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332845.2020.1821429","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43378716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study detected the role of ethical climate between the three variables; job satisfaction, organization commitment and turnover intention. The results revealed that there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment and a negative one between job satisfaction and turnover intention in the presence of ethical climate.","PeriodicalId":35371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resources in Hospitality and Tourism","volume":"20 1","pages":"1 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332845.2020.1821425","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44304422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was collected on the preferred job rewards expressed by employees ranging from front line workers to senior executives, as well as their perceptions of job satisfaction. Results were analyzed first at the aggregate level on their own and against extant literature, followed by a more segmented analysis by demographic characteristics of gender, age, income, and education. Results reveal mild but direct differences in motivational preferences based on gender, inferring the continued systemic gender imbalance that continues within the industry as supported by differences that exist by age, educational levels, job level, and income. Outcomes also highlight differences that appear in overall job satisfaction segmented by gender, age, position, and income level. Discussions include relating results to historical demographical job segmentation in the lodging industry, as well as relating the impact of life stage responsibilities and the influence of unmet needs on value propositions. All discussions highlight the contextual nature of motivational factors for lodging employees. Suggestions are made for industry practitioners about how best to invest scarce resources into talent management in order to contribute to more sustainable workforce practices.","PeriodicalId":35371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resources in Hospitality and Tourism","volume":"20 1","pages":"101 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332845.2020.1821432","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45993973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also examines the extent to which the dominant image of leaders is more masculine or feminine, and how such a stereotype may result in gender bias in leadership. Drawing on a survey of 392 employees working in 4-star and 5-star hotels in Jordan, the study shows that if perceivers stereotype successful leaders as more masculine, there is likely to be an evaluative penalty of prejudice against female leaders even if they possess leadership qualities. Also, the results show that gender equality and appreciation of feminine leadership attributes may be helpful to address such a prejudice. The importance of this study derives from extending the role congruity theory through a contextual investigation in the hotel sector in Jordan, and in offering a nuanced understanding of gender-related biases that may be considered to develop more inclusive approaches to leadership.","PeriodicalId":35371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resources in Hospitality and Tourism","volume":"19 1","pages":"520 - 542"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332845.2020.1763768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46487854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
