Training is one of the key methods managers employ to control hospitality products and services. The purpose of this research was to examine the attitudes U.S. hotel employees have about the training that they have received and to test for a relationship between training and their commitment to the organizations. Other variables that addressed employee satisfaction, such as awareness of rules, morale, and perceived quality of management, were examined to assess if indirect effects occurred between training and organizational commitment. These results demonstrated that persuasive evidence speaks loudly to the necessity of implementing high-quality training programs. Training is consequential to the success of franchise lodging organizations because it has not only a direct positive relationship with morale, perception of supervisor quality, and awareness of rules but also a significant indirect effect on organizational commitment.

The purpose of this study was to explore the hypothesis that assisting men with prostate cancer to obtain information would enable them to assume a more active role in treatment decision making and decrease their levels of anxiety and depression. Respondents were recruited from one community urology clinic in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Sixty newly diagnosed men were randomly assigned to receive either a self-efficacy information intervention that consisted of a written information package with discussion, a list of questions they could ask their physician, and an audiotape of the medical consultation (n = 30), or a written information package alone (n = 30). Men completed measures of preferred decisional role as the pretest; anxiety and depression before the intervention, and at 6 weeks post-intervention; and assumed decisional role at 6 weeks post-intervention. Results demonstrated that men in the intervention group assumed a significantly more active role in treatment decision making, and had lower state anxiety levels at 6 weeks. Levels of depression were similar for both groups at 6 weeks. This group of older men do want to be informed and participate in medical decisions. Further efforts are required to evaluate the efficacy of such an intervention in other community urology clinics.
