It uses a serial mediation framework with self-efficacy (SE) and career resilience (CR) as mediators and focuses on tourism professionals. Research methodology – We developed a theoretical serial mediation model to investigate this relationship. We conducted regression analysis using SPSS version 25 and AMOS (the Process Macro model 6) to test our proposed hypotheses. A total of 357 employees from various tourism-related organizations participated in this research. Findings – Employees who invested in their careers reported higher satisfaction with SCS in their working lives. Independently and consecutively, SE and CR influenced the association between CC and SCS. Research implications and Originality – The implications of this research extend to individuals and tourism organizations. For individuals, it provides a deeper understanding of how CC, SE and CR interact to manage the complexities of the tourism industry and promote professional success. For organizations, it highlights the importance of promoting CC through effective career development initiatives that can lead to a competent and motivated workforce, which ultimately increases employee engagement and retention.","PeriodicalId":501098,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139026347","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}

In this paper, we analyse how this perception has changed considering various pandemic stages. Methodology - Using 1595 reviews for hotels in Cuenca left on the Booking platform, we analyse the changes in the ratings of the stay and identify the factors that have the greatest influence on customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction by conducting a ANOVA analysis. We also consider the urban/rural area, type of traveler, nationality, gender and room type. Findings - he main results show an improvement in guest ratings after the worst moments of the pandemic, albeit with lower scores than in 2019 and 2020, indicating that the services offered by the hotel are key elements for customer satisfaction. Therefore, hotel managers should continue on the path taken, as it seems to be producing results, and try to enhance the services offered to guests. Originality - The outbreak of the COVID -19 pandemic necessitates a detailed analysis of the changes in hotel ratings and hotel characteristics evaluated positively and negatively by guests. However, a review of the literature reveals a gap in this regard, especially when considering different points in time during the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":501098,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139019022","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}

Due to ecological disturbance, cultural diffusion, and poor perceptions, tourism can sometimes be seen as a burden to locals and the area. If these perceptions are not addressed appropriately, it can lead to a chain of conflicts. This study explores people's negative perceptions towards tourism in their locality. Methodology/Design/Approach – Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Respondents were asked to rate their views on a 5-point Likert scale. Both primary and secondary data were used to achieve the objective of the study. Findings – The results indicate that local people are happy to receive tourists in their villages. However, they have certain concerns that need to be addressed for sustainable tourism growth. Anti-social activities such as drugs, alcoholism, prostitution and lack of measures to protect the ethnic group from outside influences are some of the key areas that require immediate attention. Originality of the research – Similar studies have been conducted before, but in the study area (Arunachal Pradesh, India), which is ecologically sensitive and geographically remote, a detailed study on negative perceptions alone was not conducted. Various dimensions were also added to understand healthy and relative perceptions.","PeriodicalId":501098,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139016726","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}

Design – The current study examined 149 articles on social media published in the top eight hospitality and tourism journals between 2007 and 2017. Methodology – First, descriptive statistics were presented to show the status quo of theories and constructs used in social media-related articles. Second, three causal chain frameworks are developed based on the antecedent-moderator–mediator-outcome model. Findings – First, psychological theory is the predominant theory that has been applied to explain the behavior of social media users. Second, platform-related antecedents have been identified as the most prevalent antecedents. Third, consumer outcomes have attracted the most research interest. Fourth, only about half of the selected social media publications used moderators or mediators in their research models. Finally, there is a lack of cross-category causal relationships among the three causal chain frameworks. Originality – It is expected that the causal chain frameworks developed in this study will provide a research roadmap for academia as well as insights for the hospitality and tourism industry.","PeriodicalId":501098,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138496180","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}
