“…Before a hospitality organization can begin to concern itself with the future, it must address its present personnel needs. Farrar et al [6] examine the relationship between gender and work-related attribute preferences. Their findings reveal a difference between males (risk avoiders) and females (high achievers), which may prove useful to recruiters attempting to match an individual's needs with job and organizational benefits.…”

Examines aspects of change as reflected by articles published in the Hospitality Research Journal during the seven-year period from 1989-1995. Discusses how change (demographic, technological, societal, legal, cultural or ethical) is likely to influence the industry in relation to six themes: human resource management, service quality, hospitality education, the food service sector, strategic management and legislation. Summarizes sub-themes and observations with reference to the likely impact of change on the industry in the medium term.

This 2003 study repeats and extends a 1997 investigation of how students perceive hospitality organizations as prospective employers. Using structural equation modeling, the study confirmed five factors to examine the relationship between the factors and the likelihood of employment in eight industry segments. The greatest difference between the 1997 findings and those of 2003 is the rise of the Internet in guiding students’ attitudes toward various industry segments. With regard to quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and private clubs, company-sponsored events particularly improve the likelihood of that a student will accept employment in those segments. Word of mouth and experience as a customer, on the other hand, can decrease a student’s interest in working in economy hotels and QSRs (even though direct work experience improves notice for those two segments). Ironically, the personal recruiting visit seems to have less influence on employment decisions than one might expect.
