“…Although the influence of toplevel leadership on frontline employees is indirect, it cannot be ignored because the effect trickles down from general manager to departmental manager, affecting service behaviors and service quality of frontline employees. Employee behavior is often indicative of superiors (Alexakis, 2011). When top-level leaders embrace the principles that they seek others to emulate (e.g., ethics and selfsacrifice), the remainder of the organization follows.…”

“…Positive organizational outcomes such as innovative behavior (Jung et al 2003), performance quality, and work unit effectiveness (Lowe et al 1996) are linked to transformational leadership. Lastly, transcendental leadership is described as being more beneficial and effective than either transactional or transformational leadership (Alexakis 2011); however, empirical studies examining transcendental leadership are sparse.…”

Our research is one of the first to examine spiritual leadership, which lies at the crossroads of workplace spirituality and transcendental leadership, within the context of family firms. We describe how the unique characteristics of family firms allow for and encompass spiritual leadership. First, we adapt the construct of spiritual leadership to the firm level. Then, analyzing dyadic data, we provide empirical support for the emerging theory of spiritual leadership by linking the spiritual bond between leader and follower to organizational citizenship behavior, a new dependent variable in the nomological net of spiritual leadership. We further explore the relationship in subsets of our data, finding that the relationship holds for family members but does not hold for non-family employees of the family business. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

“…The Millennials segment comprises individuals born in the last decades of the twentieth century. Some authors define this as between 1979 and 1994 (Kotler & Keller, 2012;Santos et al, 2016), while others argue this generation was born between 1980 and 2000 (Alexakis, 2011;Kotler & Keller, 2012;ITB, 2016). According to these age delimitations, not all Millennials fit in the UNWTO's (2008) aforementioned age frame, but experts agree that they represent the strongest subsegment of youth travellers due to their higher purchasing power.…”

Purpose -Current study is an attempt to look into the various theoretical concepts/ theories that help to understand what motivates individuals, especially young people, to travel and which are the practical implications of the analysed theories. In particular, we chose Maslow's Theory of Needs to analyse youth travel motivations. Research Design -The study draws its base from two streams of literature, one being associated with motivations and the other dealing with the question of how motivations can influence travelling patterns of an individual. The literature review was done extensively and articles published in the domain of tourist motivations and related areas were traced and reviewed. Findings -Our analysis of youth tourism centred on Maslow's hierarchy of needs and confirmed its validity as an explanation of the most important youth travellers' motivations. The results also indicate that, due to recent technological developments affecting societies and young tourists' behaviours -especially those of Millennials -new needs have emerged, which are discussed in detail.Research Limitations -The research has been carried out in light of the available literature and it fails to address empirical evidence. Also, the analysis of youth tourism needs to be extended to other motivation theories as those which are presented in this work. Keywords tourism, motivation, tourist, pull factor, push factor, destination. RESEARCH BACKGROUNDTourism is currently one of the most dynamic phenomena worldwide. The travel and tourism industry has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, with international tourist arrivals recorded as 1,235 million for 2016, thereby accounting for 3.9% of global economic growth for that year (United Nations World Tourism Organisation [UNWTO], 2016). Tourism as an activity must contend with a wide range of tourist behaviours and the internal or external forces that significantly influence these behaviours. This industry is regarded as particularly vibrant, and it includes travelling for the purposes of pleasure, relaxation, visits to friends and family, pilgrimages and other related activities. Li and Zhang (2013) and Simkova and Holzner (2014) report that individuals' travel patterns are closely related to psychological patterns, which can be used to examine the factors that motivate people to travel. Hill (1965) early on explored vacationers' motives as a response to psychosomatic exhaustion. They seek to replenish and restore their sense
