“…Businesses, both small and large, especially those just starting out, are using this strategy to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Karch and Peter (2017) support this claim by examining how employee uniforms affect customer and employee own satisfaction. The study found that uniforms have a significant impact on employee functionality and customer satisfaction.…”

One of the important manifestations of post-experience behavior is tourists' satisfaction This study generally aimed to assess the satisfaction of tourists towards scenic attractions in Anhui province, China. Specifically, it aimed to present the demographic profile of the respondents; assessed the tourist satisfaction; tested the significant difference on tourist satisfaction when grouped according to the profile variables. Descriptive design was used with 385 respondents.Frequency distribution, percentage, weighted mean, independent sample t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used as statistical tests. Based on the result, most respondents were between the ages of 18-26, women, and college students mostly, and they have come to the scenic spot for the second time. Respondents were satisfied with the services at the selected tourist attractions as they rated it as being very timely, complete, polite, consistent, accessible, accurate, and responsive. There are significant differences in customer satisfaction when grouped according to educational attainment in terms of timeliness and courtesy; there are also significant differences when grouped according to frequency of visits in terms of timeliness, completeness, consistency, accessibility, accuracy and responsiveness. Significant difference also exists when grouped according to purpose of travel in terms of timeliness, completeness, courtesy, accessibility and responsiveness. It is recommended that the scenic attractions may add convenience facilities such as (intelligent ticket purchasing equipment, intelligent ticket checking equipment, intelligent voice guide explanation, etc.) to ensure the timeliness of serving tourists.

The paper is devoted to rewarding programs and employee motivation in food industry in Thailand. It is explored the relationship between the reward programs practiced by companies in Thailand and their employees’ motivation and/or job satisfaction. The interesting reward programs of CP ALL Company Limited and Food Passion Company Limitedhave been chosen to be analyzed in this research. Strengths and weaknesses of each are identified, as well as threats and opportunities of the recognition and reward programs. External factors that may prevent companies to reward their employees are also analyzed, and last but not least the cause and effect diagram will be observed. Moreover, the research paper also covers the countermeasures of the hurdles that companies might face.

Purpose One important aspect of a quality work environment is its ability to protect workers from potential hazards while providing comfort, especially during long hours. This study aims to improve the properties of the polyester fabric used for uniforms by enhancing its ultraviolet (UV) protection factor (UPF), reducing electrostatic charge and increasing comfort. Design/methodology/approach Six different samples of polyester woven fabric were manufactured using a yarn count of 150/144 denier for the warp and 300/96 denier for the weft. Honeycomb and Bedford cord structures were performed with three different weft densities, 36, 45 and 55 weft/cm. The napping process was conducted on one side for all fabrics, and several tests were conducted before and after napping, including thickness, weight, tensile strength, elongation, air and water permeability, UPF and electrostatic charges. Findings The results were collected, tabulated and statistically analysed. Three different tools were used, given as follows: Column chart to define the behaviour of produced fabrics at each property; ANOVA test with p-value = 0.05 to indicate the significant and non-significant effects of different parameters; and Radar chart area to rank fabrics and demonstrate the preferable performance. Originality/value According to the investigated study, the produced fabrics were affected by the parameters, where despite the nap process increasing the fluffy surface and promoting airflow, UV protection and electrostatic charge, it aids in deteriorating mechanical properties and relatively reducing absorbency. Additionally, the weft densities are striking in various fabric characteristics and performances relating to the fancy weave structure.
