Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the motives that drive individuals' intentions to work within firms operating in the Greek tourism sector and to examine the impact of these motives on the intention to work.

Design/methodology/approach

To achieve this objective, we conducted an empirical survey among 2,104 individuals with professional experience in the tourism business. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis were employed, with motives as independent variables and the intention to work as the dependent construct, to answer the research question.

Findings

This study presents job motivation as a hierarchical set of criteria that need to be fulfilled or satisfied. It also identifies the significant motives impacting employees' intention to work in both the accommodation sector and food and beverage services.

Research limitations/implications

The data were collected at a single point in time from Greece, which may limit the generalizability of our results. Future research could consider the psychological and physiological characteristics of employees.

Practical implications

Managers who provide social security, create a positive work environment, and promote collaboration among their employees can enhance the quality of work-life and positively influence their intention to work.

Originality/value

The proposed model offers valuable guidelines that advance research on employee motivation in the tourism industry.

希腊旅游业员工的工作动力及其工作意向
本研究的目的是调查促使个人在希腊旅游业公司工作的动机,并研究这些动机对工作意向的影响。为了实现这一目标,我们对 2,104 名具有旅游业专业经验的个人进行了实证调查。为了回答研究问题,我们采用了描述性统计和分层回归分析法,将工作动机作为自变量,将工作意向作为因变量。研究局限/启示本研究的数据是在希腊的一个时间点上收集的,这可能会限制研究结果的普遍性。未来的研究可以考虑员工的心理和生理特点。实用意义提供社会保障、创造积极的工作环境并促进员工之间合作的管理者可以提高员工的工作生活质量,并对他们的工作意向产生积极影响。
