“…In terms of wage differentials in the tourism and hospitality sectors, making use of different sources, both at a country or region level, studies have focused on various aspects, among others: gender discrimination (Ferreira Freire Guimarães & Silva, 2016;Muñoz-Bullón, 2009;Santos & Varejão, 2007); the comparison between wages in hospitality and other private services (Campos-Soria, García-Pozo, Sánchez-Ollero, & Benavides-Chicón, 2011), and; the effects of education on wages (García-Pozo, Campos-Soria, & Sánchez-Ollero, 2012;Lillo-Bañuls & Casado-Díaz, 2011). Most of these studies, in applying the Oaxaca-Blinder methodology, comply with the previously presented theoretical premises.…”

This study aims to analyse the wage differentials between the Brazilian tourism and non-tourism service sectors. The statistics originate from micro-data for the year of 2012, published by the National Household Sample Survey, and released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Using an econometric model, based on an updated version of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, it was possible to measure wage differentials between workers in both sectors. We report that returns in the non-tourism sector were higher than that of the tourism sector, and also conclude that in the Brazilian service sector, the wage gap is derived from differences in worker characteristics, to the detriment of the tourism industry. Moreover, variables such as schooling and age proved to have weight for the explanation of the wage differential, the latter being taken as a proxy of experience in the labour market.

“…La ecuación de salario aquí propuesta difiere de la original de Mincer porque utiliza una especificación lineal para las variables experiencia previa y antigüedad (García-Pozo et al, 2012). Esta opción se ha elegido debido a la elevada multicolinealidad 1 entre cada una de estas variables y su cuadrado.…”

“…y la hostelería (7 p.p.). Prestando mayor atención a esta última, se ha podido constatar, mediante la comparación de los resultados obtenidos para estas variables en este trabajo y los alcanzados por García-Pozo et al (2012) para la misma base de datos en 2006, una reducción del desajuste educativo de la mujer en la hostelería española. Si en 2006, el porcentaje de ocupadas en hostelería afectadas por desajuste educativo se elevaba al 36%, en 2010 se reduce al 32%.…”

RESUMENEste artículo aporta evidencia empírica sobre las diferencias en los rendimientos salariales desde una perspectiva de género en el sector hostelero español, comparándolas con otros sectores de la economía española. Mediante la estimación de una función minceriana, los resultados obtenidos revelan una significativa diferencia negativa del rendimiento del capital humano en la hostelería frente al resto de sectores y una mayor penalización salarial asociada al rendimiento educativo para el caso de la mujer en la hostelería, en contraposición a lo que ocurre en el resto de sectores analizados.Palabras clave: capital humano, turismo, hostelería, diferencia salarial, mujer, género. Impact of personal and labour factors in hospitality wages: a gender view ABSTRACTThis article provides empirical evidence on differences in wage income from a gender perspective in the Spanish hospitality sector, as compared with other sectors of the Spanish economy. Using a Mincerian function, the results indicate a significant negative difference in the returns on human capital in the hospitality compared to other sectors and greater wage penalty associated with the educational returns for the case of women in the hospitality industry, in contraposition to what happens in other sectors analyzed.

“…Therefore, women are employed at all levels of the organisational structure, including management, and this brings changes in the general conception of the hotel business (Iverson, 2000;Aykac, 2006;Cave & Kilic, 2010;Pinar et al, 2011;Campos-Soria, Marchante-Mera, & Ropero-García, 2011;García-Pozo, Campos-Soria, Sánchez-Ollero, & Marchante-Lara, 2012).…”

In this article we examine the gender differences among hotel employees in service orientation and job satisfaction. To determine these differences, we used a service orientation scale (SOS), developed by Dienhart, Gregoire, Downey and Knight and a job satisfaction scale developed by Lytle. Our assumptions were that there would be significant gender differences in service orientation and job satisfaction. Our research proved factor structures of the two scales we used. Specifically, we showed gender differences in two of three factors, concerning service orientation (organisational support and customer focus), and no gender differences in job satisfaction. Our study revealed that organisational support is more important to men because they value more structured labour and service procedures than women (t = 2.21, df = 110, p = 0.03). In contrast, customer focus is more relevant to a women because it is more crucial to see satisfied guests, as well as having a good relationship with them (t = 2.07, df = 110, p = 0.04). It is of great importance for hotel management to have in mind that male and female employees respond and behave differently depending on the stimuli in the work environment and their satisfaction varies because of it.
