摘要

阿联酋将旅游业作为摆脱对石油过度依赖的多元化发展目标的一部分,并努力吸引更多国民从事导游职业。本研究旨在评估哪些因素会影响阿联酋旅游专业学生考虑从事导游职业的可能性。研究建立了一个包含职业决策档案和阿拉伯湾社会契约维度的模型。调查结果显示(n = 186),工作性质被认为是有吸引力的,"愿意妥协 "和 "独立决策 "等特质增加了选择该职业的可能性。然而,"传统公共部门 "的工作偏好和社会对非传统职业 "适当性 "的看法则起到了阻碍作用。建议是使高等教育实习计划更加适合学生个人的情况,并修改政府拥有的景点和场所的导游职责范围。

The tour guide profession: An attractive option for UAE nationals majoring in tourism?
The UAE is targeting the tourism sector as part of its drive to diversify away from an overdependence on oil and is seeking to attract more nationals to the tour guide profession. The purpose of this research is to assess what factors influence the likelihood of Emirati tourism students considering this vocation. A model that incorporates Career Decision-Making Profile and Arabian Gulf Social Contract dimensions was developed. Survey results ( n = 186) show that the nature of the job is considered attractive and, traits like ‘willingness to compromise’ and ‘independent decision making’, increased the likelihood of choosing the profession. Yet, “classic public sector” job preferences and perceptions on societal sentiment toward the ‘appropriacy’ of nonconventional vocations acted as deterrents. Recommendations are to make higher education internship programs more tailored to the individual student and modify the remit of the tour guide role at government-owned sites and venues.
