“…Further, Gramsci (1971) points up a hegemonic tendency where the ideology of the ruling class dominates thought and action suppressing competing ideologies. We note here the hegemonic influences of the ideology of Western capitalism, neoliberalism and consumerism as powerful forces shaping tourism knowledge production (Tribe, Dann, & Jamal, 2015). We further note that tourism itself is an ideological project (see above Grimwood's critique of the Arctic tourism being ''situated within fields of power that, historically, operate to favour certain knowledges, practices and values, while disenfranchising others."…”

a b s t r a c tThis conceptual study addresses the significant need for every mature field of knowledge to understand itself. It builds upon previous studies of the epistemology and ontology of tourism by critiquing, synthesising, discarding, re-ordering and adding material. Its contribution is an original reconceptualisation of the structure, systems, processes and outcomes that define the field of tourism. These are explained by the creation of a model and detailed analysis that examines knowledge space, the knowledge force-field, knowledge networks, four key domains in knowledge creation and their interrelationships. Finally the model is used to examine some of the key challenges and consequences that the knowledge system reveals for tourism and its research.

“…While acknowledging that paradigmatic positions are highly contested in the T&H domain (cf. Tribe, Dann & Jamal, 2015), exploratory qualitative studies and 'pot-holing' quantitative studies, in relative isolation from anything other than a few articles to frame a tidy study, proliferate. This militates against the development of robust frameworks within which knowledge in an emerging (T&H) domain, let alone workforce research, can advance incrementally and with agreed purpose.…”

This paper offers a critical review, purview and future view of 'workforce' research. We argue that the tourism (and hospitality) workforce research domain, beyond being neglected relative to its importance, suffers from piecemeal approaches at topic, analytical, theoretical and methods levels. We adopt a three-tiered macro, meso and micro level framework into which we map the five pervasive themes from our systematic review across a 10 year period (2005-2014). A critique of the literature, following a 'representations' narrative, culminates in the modelling of a tourism workforce taxonomy, which we propose should guide the acknowledgement and advancement of more holistic tourism workforce knowledge development.

“…And the question directs attention to a concept implicit in the listing of research topic directions and choices in Table 1.2; it is that of paradigms. It is an interesting and contested expression and arguably the meaning of the term is evolving and changing (Tribe, Dann, & Jamal, 2015).…”
