“…It is also confirmed by the results of research conducted by Ning-Kuang Chuang 2020 that students have several developmental tasks, one of which is choosing and preparing for a career. The process of students choosing and preparing for the desired job is a process of student career maturity, and one of the factors that support the career maturity is students' self-confidence related to their potential (Chuang et al, 2020). When a student experiences an increase in confidence, the student's selfconfidence also increases and this has a positive effect on the student's career maturity (Rustanto, 2017).…”

The results of a survey on students in a university in Kediri found the fact that students are still confused and do not have any idea about their future careers even though the study period is almost complete. This might be because they lack knowledge about career options that are appropriate to their field of study, feel less confident about their abilities, lack self-awareness related to their potential, and do not yet know how to prepare themselves for the work world. These phenomena illustrate the lack of student career maturity. This condition might cause an increase in the unemployment rate or job mismatch. Against this backdrop, we designed and implemented strategies to overcome these problems using a Cognitive Information Processing approach. In particular, we conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with students, implemented career counselling, and carried out career socialization. This research used a pre-experimental design, particularly a one-group pretest and posttest design. The result shows that students experienced a significant increase in their career maturity. Students now have a better picture of career options that match their educational background, have short-term and long-term planning related to career readiness after completing education and have confidence in their abilities or potential.

“…Empirical studies have reported that self-efficacious employees are more self-confident and have positive attitudes toward their work even in difficult work situations [30,31]. Self-efficacious employees typically deliver favorable work-related performance [32,33] and are more proactive with their career choices, more effective in the decision-making process [34], and better at job attendance [35]. In contrast, employees who are not self-efficacious are more passive with their work, slackening their efforts prematurely with a higher likelihood of failure with their assigned tasks [32,36].…”

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a significant blow to the restaurant industry, with many restaurants suspending operations or closing altogether. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of emotional labor on employees’ well-being and the mediating role of self-efficacy in the context of chain restaurants. Data were collected in 2020 through an online survey in China, and results revealed that emotional labor had a significant impact on well-being that was measured in life and job satisfaction. Self-efficacy not only had a significant positive impact on employees’ job- and life-related well-being but also played a fully mediating role between deep acting and life satisfaction, with a partial mediating role between deep acting and job satisfaction. Job-related well-being also played a fully mediating role between deep acting and life satisfaction, with a partial mediating role between deep acting and job satisfaction. It is important for restaurant employees to develop deep acting skills and improve self-efficacy and job satisfaction Restaurant managers must establish a healthy working environment by providing better job support and creating a more relaxed working atmosphere.

“…The rapid changes taking place in the tourism and hospitality industry are making it increasingly difficult for students to make the right career decision due to the volatile labor market and a large number of career opportunities (Chuang et al, 2020;Lam and Santos, 2018). Despite the significant number of hospitality and tourism management graduates (i.e., potential industry employees), numerous tourism companies continue to struggle to attract industry talents (Chuang et al, 2020;Karatepe and Olugbade, 2016), given that only half of the hospitality graduates go on to pursue a career in the field (Chang and Tse, 2015).…”

Purpose:The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between students' dedication (S_DED) and their perception of person-job fit (P_J Fit) and investigate how it correlates with students' career aspirations (CAREER_ASP). Additionally, the relationship between perceived P_J Fit and students' work experience (WORK_EXP) and social support (S_SUPPORT) have been analyzed. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study was conducted among tourism and/or hospitality students of two universities that agreed to participate in the study. They are located in cities of Poland and Croatia which are very attractive tourist destinations. The questionnaires were administered in each institution and the auditorium survey technique was applied to gather the data. Findings: The findings of this study revealed that there is a positive and significant correlation between students' dedication and their perception of person-job fit. It was also indicated that there is a positive and significant correlation between students' work experience, students' social support and perceived P_J Fit. Finally, it was proved that the more students perceive their skills and abilities as matching the requirements of their future work, the more they believe they can pursue a career in this field. Practical Implications: It is recommended that the educators pay more attention to the person-job fit of students when recruiting them for T&H courses at higher education institutions. Moreover, it is important to offer a variety of activities to increase students' dedication to the studies undertaken. Specifically, for curriculums to be suitable and to generate enthusiasm among students, they should be customized to meet the requirements of the labor market and modern teaching techniques should be applied to actively engage students in the learning process, making it challenging. Originality/value: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is one of the first to focus on identifying factors relating to students' perception of their P_J Fit by linking it with their career aspirations in a single research model.
