Cultivating adaptability and competency through enhancing hotel employability skills and language communication abilities

Abstract

As internationalization and competition intensify, the hotel industry is being confronted with changing customer demands and dynamics. This study, which involved 566 hotel employees, explored the process of developing career adaptability. The findings indicate that employability skills may indirectly influence career adaptability through career competency, while language communication abilities can enhance this development process. Additionally, the study demonstrates the interrelationship among the critical attributes of employability skills, revealing that work attitude can impact career planning through both general and professional competencies. The first and second factors of alternative models were employed to validate the proposed research model.
