Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of favouritism on competencies through employee silence. The phenomenon of employee silence has been defined as a mediating variable that is affected by favouritism, and which affects employee competencies. Data collected from 420 employees working in hotels in the Thrace Region based on a face-to-face survey method were used to test the research hypotheses with partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that favouritism is an obstacle that causes employee silence and, more importantly, reduces the competencies of employees, as they are not treated fairly in terms of their skills, experience, knowledge, and abilities. In addition, it may be concluded that employee silence is a factor that directly reduces competencies. While there is some discussion about the possible impacts of obstacles such as favouritism and employee silence on competencies, it can be observed that there are few studies that address their relationship separately. This research is among the first to empirically reveal employee silence as the mediator between favouritism practices and employee competencies, expanding the understanding of how silence can work as a mediator in the hospitality businesses.

偏袒对酒店业员工能力的影响:员工沉默的中介作用
本研究旨在通过员工沉默来检验偏袒对能力的影响。员工沉默现象被定义为一个受偏袒影响的中介变量,它影响员工的能力。基于面对面调查方法,从色雷斯地区420名酒店员工中收集的数据用于通过偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)检验研究假设。研究结果表明,偏袒是导致员工沉默的障碍,更重要的是,会降低员工的能力,因为他们在技能、经验、知识和能力方面没有得到公平对待。此外,可以得出结论,员工沉默是直接降低能力的一个因素。虽然有人讨论了偏袒和员工沉默等障碍对能力的可能影响,但可以观察到,很少有研究单独讨论它们的关系。这项研究是第一批实证揭示员工沉默是偏袒行为和员工能力之间的中介的研究之一,扩大了对沉默如何在酒店业中发挥中介作用的理解。
