The Relationship

Purpose Hostels’ competitiveness relies heavily on unique and genuine service and, thus, counts on employees actively creating a social, welcoming environment and, at the same time, caring about – and being loyal to – their hostel. This paper aims to investigate whether retaining employees who care about their hostel and refrain from destructive behaviours implies that these workers need to have a better quality of working life, as well as whether work engagement mediates this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted with 98 employees from 40 hostels in Lisbon. An analysis of the survey data was performed to test the research hypotheses. The model was estimated by means of partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings The results reveal that quality of working life has a strong negative impact on employees’ exit behaviours and a positive effect on their loyalty. In addition, work engagement was found to mediate fully the relationship between quality of working life and both employee voice and neglect, as well as partially mediating exit intentions. Originality/value This study extended prior research in two ways. First, most theoretical and empirical studies in the hospitality and tourism industry have focused on hotels, so this research targeted a new context (i.e. hostels). Second, this study offers a clear indication of the relationship between employees’ quality of working life, work engagement and behaviours, thus offering valuable insights for management and hostel staff.

Indonesian Tourism Industry was targeted as the second source of foreign exchange, but the negative impact from this industry has become an issue that needs to be resolved. The concept of tourism management in Indonesia is still outmoded due to focusing on the massive exploitation of resources for current needs instead of optimizing the resources for the future, certainly, this problem will be a threat for Indonesia's tourism industry continuance in the future. From the socio-cultural impact, economic impact, and environmental impact, altogether has some negative impact that was caused by the industry. The issue not only comes from the tourism producers but also the tourists. In this study, the authors explore the conceptual analysis of sustainable tourism management in Indonesia. Using literature synthesis, it is expected to produce a conceptual model for sustainable tourism management in Indonesia. Based on the literature review, we can conclude that there are three pillars of sustainability that need to be addressed: socio-cultural, economic, and environmental. Future research can be explored through qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand more about the effects of those three pillars in developing sustainable tourism in Indonesia.

Introduction. Since tourism in Ukraine in recent years has been turning into a dynamic and profitable sector of economic activity, the substantiation and search for ways to improve the quality of services in it is of particular relevance. Access to international markets for tourism services enhances interest and actualizes the study of factors affecting the quality of tourism services in Ukraine. Largely, the implementation of the task of substantiating ways to improve the quality of tourism services in general depends on the activities of the respective hotel and restaurant business institutions and their functional interaction. Methods. Empirical methods and questionnaires were used to establish and identify factors affecting the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business. The method of abstraction and generalization was used in the study, which allowed us to draw conclusions regarding the prospects and ways to improve the quality of services in the Ukrainian hotel and restaurant business. Results. A study of the factors affecting the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business allowed them to be classified, to identify the level of influence, to offer ways and measures to smooth out the negative and increase positive trends in this area. The development of a position on possible ways to overcome the negative impact of various factors on the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business was the logical result of a scientific search, including through the phased implementation of measures to smooth or eliminate each of them. Discussions. The proposals worked out will make it possible to improve the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business in Ukraine. In the future, more in-depth research is needed on how to develop the composition of hotel and restaurant services, methods of evaluation and quality control, the use of positive foreign experience on these issues, as well as finding ways to improve the use of computers and communications possible technologies in the tourism industry. Keywords: quality, service, tourism, hotel and restaurant business, tourism entities, organization, improvement.

Abstract As nursing becomes a first-level discipline, the central focus of the development process of nursing science is the independent exploration of the future path of nursing care. Although many countries have made efforts to develop nursing as an independent discipline, no remarkable advancement has been achieved due to the incorrect understanding of the relationship between nursing and medicine and the improper comprehension of other factors involved in the process of nursing reform. Teaching and practicing nursing also face many problems. Based on our understanding of the relationship between nursing and medicine and through a careful analysis of the existing problems in the current nursing discipline, this paper provides some insights into the future directions of nursing development by exploring the independently developing nursing discipline in foreign countries.

This research paper focuses on the practices of TQM which are being implemented in Pakistan and finds out the relationship between the quality implementation and the performance of the organizations. There is a significant impact of TQM on performance of organizational operations especially in larger firms that have specialized processes of manufacturing. In Pakistan, TQM is implemented by 3 types of methods: Assurance of Quality, Consistent Improvement and Control of Quality. The results indicate that Total Quality Management has two effects on the performance of organizations: First, the practices of TQM may affect the performance of the organization; or it may halt the firms to achieve the goals which has a negative impact on their performance. One limitation of this research is that it is limited to Pakistan only. So the future researchers can base their studies on different context.

The paper declares the relevance of scientific and theoretical analysis of contemporary tourism due to the growing role of tourism in the global economy, politics, social sphere and culture. The paper aims to analyze the main problems, trends and prospects of the tourism industry in the context of drastic changes in the contemporary world. The authors rely on statistical indicators of tourism industry development within the interdisciplinary approach, analyze economical and political context where Russian and global tourism is developing, and apply cultural studies methods, taking into account urban studies and regional studies. A series of industryspecific problems is identified: tourism is “held hostage” by the political situation, which eventually has a negative impact on tourism market players and end consumers of the tourism product; the high risk level in the tourism business combined with the imperfect legal framework also destabilizes the market, while managerial and technological decisions adopted along with adjustments introduced in the industry law demonstrate insufficient efficiency. The authors note the need for drastic changes in the system of industry regulation and the fact that, besides the economic and political context, it is crucial to take into account tourism’s social and cultural aspects. At the same time the authors focus on one of the most indicative of these – tourism’s relation with the urban culture. The conclusion is made that tourism development has a contradictory effect. In certain cases, we face its negative side, which causes “tourism phobia” among the local population and other problems. But correct approach may turn “cons” into “pros”. That said, innovations related to social and cultural aspects of the tourism field demonstrate the pressing need for its reformation once again.
