“…Open discussions were conducted, and interviewees were allowed to share their voices to improve the industry in which they were working by sharing their personal experiences with their managers. As there are no published guidelines to conduct an unstructured interview, the researchers followed the conventions and implemented the steps used in most studies as recommended by past researchers for the conduct and planning of such interviews ( Minichiello et al, 1990 ; Punch, 1998 ; Heyl et al, 2001 ; Fontana and Frey, 2005 ).…”

This study has proposed to apply change leadership as a vehicle forward for sustaining the growth of the tourism industry to eradicate poverty through the Pakistani tourism industry. Applying a mixed method approach, this article has attempted to uncover the role a change leader can play to help achieve the United Nations’ sustainable development goals of poverty reduction. In this study, one of the authors interviewed stakeholders of the tourism industry to find out the major drivers of the industry and identify the leadership style that may prove to be effective in the said industry. In the next phase of the study, a survey method approach was used where different tourism companies and hotel chains were included for analysis. The study aimed to check employee’s perception of change leadership and its impact on their resilience and ultimately the sustainable organization performance of companies’ operationalizing in the sector with moderating impact of sustainable tourism attitude in times of a crisis. In total, 430 full-time workers in the tourism industry were contacted for a self-administered survey achieving a response rate of 83%. The findings of the study confirmed that in the presence of a change leader, the process of adaptation to sudden changing situations amidst financial crises, pandemic, and climatic change, becomes bearable and employees can cope with the work situations without pushing them to quit the industry. The study has a significant contribution toward a rapidly growing and focused industry, which can play a major role in the economy of any country leading toward job creation and poverty reduction.

“…In Australia, a critical movement in gerontology has yet to fully emerge (Asquith 2009: 266). During the 1990s, instances of ageing research with a critical orientation were apparent in policy analysis of population ageing and aged care (see, e.g., Borowski et al 1997;Courtney et al, 1997;Earle, 1999;Kendig and McCallum, 1990;Leveratt, 1999;Minichiello et al, 1992) and calls to involve older people themselves in ageing research (see, e.g. Russell and Schofield, 1995).…”

Sociologist Nicole Asquith argues that, in Australia, when it 'comes to population ageing, sociology has been, in large part, silent in the face of neoliberal policies of positive ageing' (2009: 255). In the absence of such critical research, governments at all levels since the 1990s have pursued policies of ageing that tends to subordinate the social needs of older Australians to the nation's economic needs. This paper seeks to explain why the critical social gerontology movement has not taken root in Australia through an historical analysis of ageing research in Australia. Furthermore, it aims to demonstrate the rewards of critical analysis through new research into the discourses of positive ageing. It also shows how older Australians resist 'responsible' ageing and its regulation of them. This analysis is designed to inspire further critical engagement, which recognizes the diversity of older Australians, giving voice to their resistance, and better inform policy development.
