基于委托——代理理论的饭店企业员工敬业度提升模式研究

提高员工敬业度是企业实现高效人力资源管理的关键。本文基于委托—代理理论,提出建立有效的激励约束机制以提升员工敬业度;并针对饭店基层员工设计了薪酬、工作本身、职业发展3个激励因素和管理制度、人员督导、现代化设备使用3个约束因素进行实证研究。结果表明：（1）饭店目前的薪酬体系缺乏激励效应,管理者应构建富有激励导向的科学合理的薪酬管理体系来提高员工敬业度;（2）目前饭店管理制度没有很好发挥提高员工敬业度的作用,管理者在完善管理制度的同时,应该建立与管理环境相适宜的具有中国特色的企业文化来保证制度有效性的发挥,做到刚性管理与柔性管理的完美融合;（3）人员督导能有效提高员工的敬业度,受到代理人的欢迎,这与一般企业所说的代理人厌恶委托人的监督,导致敬业度降低不符合,体现了饭店委托—代理关系的特殊性。     

饭店非正式员工工作满意度研究

在饭店行业,随着国外著名饭店集团的进驻,民营企业饭店的发展壮大,国有饭店企业改制的推进,饭店之间的竞争日趋白热化.为增强企业的竞争力,获得满意的经营利润,饭店不断通过雇佣大量的非正式员工来确保总成本上的竞争优势.在这样的背景下,本文通过实证研究探寻中国饭店非正式员工工作满意度的影响因子以及各因子的影响程度,在此基础上建立了非正式员工管理的 SPAR 模型,并从工作压力、工作态度和工作单位认可三个角度提出非正式员工管理的具体对策,以期对饭店企业非正式员工的管理提供借鉴和参考.

反垄断法视角中的饭店委托管理

饭店委托管理在我国饭店行业中已经屡见不鲜,从反垄断法角度审视饭店委托管理是一个崭新的视角.饭店委托管理是一种特许经营的经营模式,其价值目标与反垄断法恰恰相反,这就要求界定饭店委托管理在反垄断法方面合法与非法的界限.我国正在制定过程中的反垄断法应充分考虑特许经营和饭店委托管理这种特殊的经营模式,在特定市场认定、市场力量界定等相关问题上深入研究,制定出既符合我国国情,又符合各种产业特点,包括特许经营业和饭店委托管理特征的"经济宪法".

Exploring the Factors Affecting Hotel Outsourcing in Taiwan

Two studies were conducted to examine factors affecting hotel outsourcing in Taiwan. In study 1, interviews with senior hotel managers were analyzed to explore the factors determining a hotel's outsourcing of different services. The results of the questionnaire survey used in study 2 indicated that the current and desired percentages of outsourcing for international tourist hotels in Taiwan were very low, indicating that strategic outsourcing has not received much attention in that part of the Taiwanese hospitality sector. The hotel departments that were most often outsourced were housekeeping, security, maintenance and information systems. Study 2 also showed outsourcing decisions were based only on a hotel's resources. The effect of predicting outsourcing was not significant for transaction costs. The results of this study provide both hotel management and outsourcing service providers with insights into hotel outsourcing in Taiwan.     

Emerging Definitions of Boutique and Lifestyle Hotels: A Delphi Study

Despite growing interest in the boutique and lifestyle sector of the lodging industry, there is not an accepted definition of either “boutique hotel” or “lifestyle hotel.” Boutique and lifestyle hotel strategies provide hotel companies with important points of differentiation in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The current study determined definitions using a Delphi analysis of responses from a diverse group of experts from the lodging industry. Forty-one panel members were involved in the process that was undertaken with three rounds of questions. The study determined that boutique hotels are best characterized as small, stylish hotels that offer high levels of service. Lifestyle hotels are described as innovative and provide more of a personal experience than so-called “branded” hotels.     

Determinants of Customer Satisfaction in the Hotel Industry: An Application of Online Review Analysis

This study illustrates that determinants of customer satisfaction in hospitality venues can be identified through an analysis of online reviews. Using text mining and content analysis of 42,668 online traveler reviews covering 774 star-rated hotels, the study found that transportation convenience, food and beverage management, convenience to tourist destinations and value for money are identified as excellent factors that customers booking both luxury and budget hotels consider important and for which the performance is much satisfactory to them. Customers paid more attention to, but were less satisfied with, bed, reception services and room size and decoration. Most determinants of customer satisfaction also showed a consensus over luxury versus budget hotels, except for factors referring to lobby and sound insulation. As per its findings, the article concludes by presenting theoretical and managerial implications.     

Identification of the reactions of hotel managers to new competition

This paper arises out of research carried out recently on the impact of a new hotel on the other hotel businesses which are operating in the same market. To ascertain the possible reactions of hotel managers to new competition and the relative importance of alternative price and non-price strategies a postal survey of 250 three-and four-star graded hotels across the U.K. was undertaken. It was found that a change in published tariff rates is regarded as being relatively unimportant whilst sales promotion is given the highest priority. Disaggregation of the sample by hotel size and occupancy rates does not reveal any significant changes in the relative importance of possible strategies. While the survey indicates that both non-price and price competitive strategies are seen by managers as essentially complementary, nevertheless, price competition in the form of secret discounting of published room rates to mass market intermediaries (tour operators and travel agents) and corporations is particularly important. While price discounting is the ‘private’ face of hotel competition much more research is needed on both the ‘public’ and ‘private’ nature of competition in the hotel industry and how these inter-link.     

Loyalty Runs Deeper than Thread Count: An Exploratory Study of Gay Guest Preferences and Hotelier Perceptions

Alongside many global businesses, hotels have recently shared in the movement to serve the gay market. If the perception of being gay-friendly is not the same for hoteliers and their gay guests, a marketing discrepancy may exist and loyalty of the gay segment could be at risk. To address this issue, a sample of 188 gay guests and 48 hoteliers was explored. Differences tests were conducted to evaluate the hotel attribute importance ratings of gay guests versus hoteliers when considering that segment. After conducting a factor analysis, a regression determined the impact of each factor on gay guest loyalty, with the social environment component having the greatest impact. Most importantly, hotels should support the gay community beyond simply offering a room, an intangible yet important display of social responsibility. This study augments previous hospitality research on the gay guest segment and provides avenues for future qualitative and quantitative studies.     

Representation of Destination Cultural Factors on Hotel Websites: Content Analysis of Beijing Hotel Websites

The extant tourism literature contains virtually no studies examining the issue of destination culture in the context of hotel website evaluations. The research presented herein examined 168 Beijing hotel websites. Content analysis of these websites was carried out using 12 destination cultural factors identified by the researchers. The aim was to examine whether the performance of the hotel websites under investigation differed in terms of these factors by hotel category. The results indicate that the majority of Beijing hotels do not include destination cultural factors on their websites. Although the websites of privately owned, chain, and international hotels, as well as those with higher star ratings were found to feature more of these factors, the differences were not statistically significant. Among the 12 destination cultural factors identified, Forbidden City was the most commonly included on the hotel websites, and Temple Fair and Pet Birds were completely absent.

Hotel Attributes and Consumer Satisfaction: A Cross-Country and Cross-Hotel Study

The main purpose of this study was to identify the influence of the consumer’s country of residence on hotel service attributes’ contribution to consumer satisfaction. The hospitality services of Disneyland Paris in Paris, France, were analyzed in the context of the study. Data came from their seven hotels and comprised 47,885 valid questionnaires. The Tetraclasse model was applied to identify hotel attributes’ contribution to satisfaction and compare them for consumer segments from eight European countries and between hotels. Results showed that the four service attributes’ contributions are influenced by country of residence and vary between hotels.     

The effects of the minimum wage on the operating performance of hotels in the U.S.

The economic effects of the minimum wage have been the focus of ongoing contradictory debates among policymakers and researchers. This study finds a positive effect of the minimum wage on the operating profitability of hotels in the U.S. However, the pricing practices of full-service hotels are dissimilar to those of limited-service hotels. Although the burden of the minimum wage is substantial, full-service hotels can spread the weight onto other departments, while limited-service hotels mainly rely on rooms revenue. Thus, the effects of the minimum wage on room price (average daily rate; ADR) are more substantial at limited-service hotels than at full-service hotels even though operating profitability (gross operating profit per available room; GOPPAR) is not substantially different between them. Eventually, increased minimum wage can play a beneficial role not only for the hotel industry but also for local society, since minimum wage employees take home a larger salary.     

Establishing attributes of an environmental management system for green hotel evaluation

This study establishes attributes of an environmental management system (EMS) for the hotel industry in Taiwan to create an instrument to help address green hotel auditing. Hotel EMS indicators were initially selected from ISO14000 and nine representative foreign green hotel assessment systems. The Delphi method conducted on twenty five experts with government officials, scholars and hotel managers for item modification to identify the preliminary EMS evaluation framework. An indicator selection process was employed to determine the dimensional indicators of the system. The data analysis reveals that a total of 64 indicators into ten dimensions were identified and prioritized in terms of their relative importance and feasibility. Moreover, 38 indicators are suitable for use and 18 of them should be implemented firstly in Taiwan hotel industry. The results also reveal the comparison with Taiwan government's environmental standards. Finally the EMS approach of this study provides managerial implications for government, hoteliers and consumers to improve their environmental management.
