This study sought to verify strategic human resources management's influence on hotel performance by analysing data on managers of hotels located in Grande Florianópolis, Brazil. Bibliographical research was conducted to provide a theoretical framework to support the analysis, and a descriptive methodology approach based on the positivist paradigm was applied. The proposed model was subjected to exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The sample consisted of 70 hotel managers, and the data were collected with a closed-ended questionnaire. The results show that, of the 32 variables studied, 13 variables are connected to high performance in medium-sized hotels in Grande Florianópolis. In addition, the analyses confirmed the validity of the proposed model, in which strategic human resources management is directly related to hotel performance. The findings include that employee training and development, as well as workplace structuring, are strategic human resources management practices essential to achieving higher performance.
Este estudo possui o objetivo de identificar a relação do design de menu, mais especificamente as descrições complexas de itens, na expectativa de qualidade do composto de produto (menu) da empresa Comfort Chef e em relação da precificação na decisão de compra do consumidor. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se uma plataforma on line com antigos e potenciais clientes da empresa. Pesquisa quantitativa realizou a análise univariada, por meio da frequência. Corroborando com a literatura existente, pôde-se verificar que a descrição complexa dos itens afeta a percepção de qualidade e as expectativas de preço do menu. Nesse contexto, o estudo aponta para a influência do design de menu sobre as vendas, o qual contribui positivamente para o sucesso financeiro de negócios no setor de alimentos e bebidas. Em relação à precificação, teoricamente os clientes da empresa estariam dispostos a pagar mais do que o preço objetivo (real) dos menus, entretanto, ficariam mais satisfeitos caso a empresa praticasse preços menores do que os praticados hoje.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Design de menu; percepção de qualidade; expectativa de preço.
