The nature of the hospitality ındustry: present and future managers' perspective

Abstract

Bu çalışma sektörün öncüsü otellerin genel müdürleri ve konaklama işletmeciliği öğrencileri arasından seçilmiş hedef gruplar ile yapılan kişisel görüşmelerin sonucunda ağırlama endüstrisinin belirgin özelliklerini incelemektedir. Otel genel müdürleri genellikle endüstriyi dışarıdan bir bakış açısıyla konunun özelliklerine odaklanarak nispeten yoğun, müşteri-misafir ilişkileri ağırlıklı ilerleme- duraklama, sıradan-olağandışı, misafirpeverlik-kârlılık gibi karşıt trendler ve görüşler arasında süregelen rekabet çerçevesinde tanımlamışlardır. Diğer grubu oluşturan öğrenciler ise daha içsel bir bakış açısıyla, yoğun takım çalışması ve otel çalışanları arasındaki dayanışma gibi ağırlama endüstrisi iş tanımlarını değişim gösteren -tekrarlayıcı misafirperverlik-duygusal emek ve ağır çalışma koşulları-alternatif yaşam biçimleri çerçevesinde karmaşık yanlarını vurgulayarak tanımlamışlardır.
