In addition, the study aims to explore skill gaps in the hotel management curriculum that negatively affect graduates’ employability and to highlight the essential skills that are crucial for hotel operators while recruiting fresh graduates for entry-level hotel jobs. The research instrument comprises 38 skills based on four studies to constitute a broad framework of employability skills. The research targeted a total sample of 145 professional managers, representing five operational managers in 29 5-star hotels in Cairo. The results revealed unalignment between hospitality industry requirements and higher education deliverables, and unfortunately, gaps were identified in all skills. Moreover, the result emphasized the great concern that the hospitality industry gives to soft skills and personal attitudes as a basis for its employability, which demands a careful revision of hotel management curricula to treat any shortages in skills and ensure the fulfillment of hospitality industry requirements to enhance graduates' employability.

The term “co-destruction” is now used in the hospitality service environment to describe the phenomenon in which multiple actors interact and integrate their resources to realize valuable benefits, yet their collaborations result in a decline of the well being of at least one of the participating actors. In the recent past, scholars have begun to dedicate their attention towards destructive relationships as a critical component of organizational life, facing it from various points of view, such as trust and partnering, project management, and relational coordination. The investigation was quantitative and adopted the survey method. To measure the proposed hypotheses, a unique conceptual model was developed with leadership support, supportive organizational climate, value co-destruction, and commitment to value co-creation as constructs. Data was collected from the hospitality Continental Portugal and islands, where 1,200 responses were obtained for analysis. The respondents were all hospitality employees. Key findings revealed that leadership support was commanding in comparison to the other constructs based on how high it loaded as a factor. In addition, a high perception of a supportive organizational climate among service employees will result in a low occurrence of value co-destruction in their organization. Further research direction on the subject is suggested.
