Understanding precedents for frontline employee turnover in luxury hotels: Emotional intelligence as a unifying factor

Current turnover research fails to serve the needs of an industry that is long plagued by employee turnover. Existing literature focuses more on evaluating bundles of human resource practices and fail to provide precise and clear guidance for practitioners. This study proposes that emotional intelligence (EI) unifies sufficient individual factors and organizational factors that affect employee turnover and serves as a single significant precedent for turnover. Data were collected from frontline employees at eight luxury hotels. The direct, indirect, and total impacts of employee EI on employee turnover were tested by structural equation modeling and bootstrap tests. The results suggest that EI has significant indirect impacts through the mediation of perceived organizational support, pay satisfaction and job burnout, and significant total impacts on turnover. Implication suggestions include integrating EI into the recruiting process for new employees and providing training opportunities for current employees to improve their EI.     

基于消费者价值观的市场细分实证研究

我国消费者的价值观念和消费行为越来越复杂,影响消费者决策的决定因素是其深层的生活形态、价值观等,根据生活方式和价值观将消费者进行细分,无疑具有重要意义。文章主要以前期调查数据为基础,通过因子分析、聚类分析、广义对应分析等统计分析方法,将消费者分为自信进取型、时尚享乐型和传统保守型三个细分市场,并对每一个细分市场从消费者所在城市及其文化程度两个方面作了分析。

新生代农民工自我身份认同影响因素分析

农民的社会融合,特别是进城务工农民的社会融合是中国城市化发展的必然趋势。当前中国农民工这一群体中分化出来的新生代农民工更加具备社会融合的客观条件,他们的知识技能和健康状况均优于第一代农民工,但是当前中国新生代农民工实际社会融合程度仍不容乐观。造成这一问题的原因在于新生代农民工缺乏对于"市民"身份的认同。文章对自我角色认同这一表征进行了多分类无序变量的逻辑回归分析和交互分析,研究结果发现,影响新生代农民工自我身份认同的主要因素在于新生代农民工的性别、文化水平、收入、婚姻和行业等因素。在分析结论的基础上,文章提出了保障新生代农民工各项基本权利的政策建议和新生代农民工自身综合素质发展的意见,以加快新生代农民工对于"市民"身份的认同程度,早日实现农民的社会融合。

Business Dynamics and Efficiency in Industries and Regions: The Case of Spain

High rates of firm births and deaths are a pervasive phenomenon across industries and territories. Most studies have related the great turbulence at the fringe of practically all manufacturing industries to positive effects on the long-run performance of industries. According to these views business turbulence, although it has a relatively small incidence on net entry, leads to allocative improvement and stimulates innovation. The existing set of empirical studies does not reach clear conclusions, however, and many questions are still open. Our contribution analyses the relationship between business dynamics in manufacturing and the growth of total factor productivity in industries and regions. After a review of current literature on entry and exit it is argued that most models are tailored to suit the processes observed in industries and regions that are near the technological frontier, and we propose an approach that could be more representative of middle range economies such as Spain. According to this approach new firms are seen more as users of innovations than producers of innovations. We adopt a model based on a vintage capital framework in which new entrants embody the edge technologies available and exiting businesses are supposed to represent the most marginal obsolete plants. Both industries and regions are represented by a Hall's type production function which controls for imperfect competition and economies of scale. The results show that both entry and exit rates contribute positively to the growth of total factor productivity in industries and in regions.
