“…Similarly, the prosperity of the Chinese tourism industry has accelerated the development of tourism education since the reform and opening-up policy in 1978, and the number of tourism universities in China has ranked among the top in the world. However, problems are also detected that tourism degrees of some key universities have shrunk, students' professional identity has been declining, and the turnover rate of tourism employees is high [2,3]. The structural imbalance between tourism talent supply and tourism industrial demand has seriously weakened the quality of talent training and the sustainable development of the tourism industry [4,5].…”

Under the background of higher education reform, undergraduate tourism students’ professional identity may play an important role in affecting students’ learning engagement and the sustainable development of tourism higher education. Data were collected from 551 Chinese undergraduate tourism students to investigate the potential relationships between professional identity and learning engagement. Based on the theory of social identity, professional identity is perceived as a progressive, dynamic process including professional cognition, professional appraisal, and professional emotion. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM), and the findings confirmed that professional identity was in positive correlation with employee engagement. Furthermore, the results showed that professional cognition has positive influences on professional appraisal, professional emotion, and learning engagement, and professional appraisal has positive influences on professional emotion and learning engagement. In addition, the mediating effects of professional appraisal and professional emotion between professional cognition and learning engagement were analyzed, respectively. This study contributes to the understanding of the impacts of tourism students’ professional identity on learning engagement. Both theoretical and practical implications are provided.

“…Earlier studies believed that compensation did not have a significant impact on job satisfaction [57,58]. In some studies related to hotel internship program, researchers found that compensation composed of overtime pay, fringe and benefits, and salary did not significantly affect internship satisfaction [59,60].…”

In the digital era, data mining and statistical analysis have been widely used to solve problems, especially in the field of management and engineering. Therefore, we aim to make a new insight of human resource management based on multiple regression modelling and quantile regression modelling. Specifically, the systematic framework of job satisfaction in this research is constructed by three dimensions from the perspective of psychology, namely, the perception of interpersonal relationship, financial compensation, and work conditions. Each dimension consists of two measures which reflect the employees’ view towards them. The empirical estimation results show the following. (1) Perceived relationship with managers, perceived rationality of compensation, perceived match degree of job, and perceived autonomy degree of work are all significantly positively correlated with job satisfaction. (2) The effect of perceived rationality of compensation is significantly different between the high quantile and the low quantile. For those with lower perceived rationality of compensation, their job satisfaction is more likely to be affected due to the perceived compensation than those with higher perception. This research enriches the existing theory by constructing a comprehensive framework of the influencing factors of job satisfaction, which provides useful implications of human resource management optimization for enterprises.

“…For example, internship satisfaction may play a significant role in determining the students’ intention to develop a career in the industry. There are several factors that influence students’ satisfaction with internship experience and their career intention; these include internship achievements, mentorship and assessment, interpersonal relationships, compensation, company features, company’s internship program, and curriculum requirements ( Qu et al, 2021 ). Despite these findings, offering good financial reward is not sufficient in attracting salespeople, but how a salesperson feels about their job, its role requirements, and outcomes are very important to make them ready to work and contribute positively to the company ( Jaramillo et al, 2013 ).…”

The sales profession has suffered from negative perception and misconception. Despite a huge opportunity in this industry, several reasons have been highlighted as deterrents to job applicants from applying for a career in sales including the unethical practices, low prestige, and uncertainty of the job. This study examines the influence of job characteristics and feelings on intention to pursue a sales career among undergraduate and postgraduate students. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 251 questionnaires analyzed using Partial-Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings suggest that job characteristics and feelings have a favorable impact on intention. Job characteristics, on the other hand, influence feelings, and feelings mediate the relationship between job characteristics and intention. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by examining feelings as one of the constructs influencing sales career intention, and provides several implications to employers and business instructors to develop effective strategies to spark student interest in sales-related careers.
