Abstract

This paper analyses the effects of tourism on equity and the security of local poor households in China. Tourism is found to be an important income source for local households, although the poor get much less benefit than other households. While most stakeholders realized the inequity and disadvantages for the poor, there are significant differences in perceptions of tourism effects between local households and other stakeholders, as well as between the poor and other income groups. Stakeholders other than local households generally over-estimate positive tourism effects on local economic growth and underestimate the extent of cultural change. Households generally believe tourism increases their cash income, creates employment opportunities, and improves living standards. However, the poor are more circumspect than higher income groups about these effects. The poor consider that tourism development does not improve access to education opportunities, and are concerned about the widening gap between the poor and ’rich’. However, wealthy people were concerned about the negative social impacts of tourism, while the poor weremore positive about tourism’s effect on social security. The major barriers for the involvement of the poor in tourism are socio-economic, especially the lack education. The high cost of education and its effect on household expenditure, means that the poor are trapped and can rarely take advantage of the benefits of tourism. The study suggests a modification of the Sustainable Tourism-Eliminating Poverty model to include policies for reinvestment of tourism’s economic benefits into human capital (education) to reduce the imbalance between household income and expenditure.

Abstract

Many travelers now reveal a growing interest in eco-tourism, with the tourism industry in the Asia-Pacific region showing an increase in the number and diversity of eco-tour operators. Relatively little, however, is known about the various ethical beliefs and ethical problemsolving response styles that potential employees bring to such a work context. This study has examined both competence and integrity ethical values, ethical influences and problem-solving responses in regard to an eco-tourism work place dilemma involving unethical operating procedures, leading to pollution of the environment. University business students from a major Australian tourist destination reported that competence ethical values to be important. Tourists were expected to rate integrity ethical values highly, as did respondents who rated tourists’ integrity ethical values more highly than tourists’ competency ethical values. Organizational mistrust was found to be a widespread expectation among many respondents. The implications of this research for university ethics education, for eco-tourism operations management and for future research within this domain are examined.

Abstract

Although numerous studies on turnover intentions have been undertaken in the past, none have systematically investigated the relationships between employees’ perceptions of HRM practices,their attitude towards the organization (trust in organization), and their behavioral intentions (turnover intentions). Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of employees’perceptions of their organization’s human resource management (HRM) practices on their turnoverintentions. The influence of trust in the organization as a mediator in the proposed relationship is also examined. Survey data were gathered from operational employees attached to large hotels in Malaysia. 380 usable questionnaires were used in the statistical analyses. The results indicated that the hypothesized linkage between HRM practices and trust in organization as well as between HRM practices and turnover intentions were partially supported. The mediating role of trust in organization was also partially supported. Implications and limitations of the findings are specified. Finally, directions for future research are suggested.
