Abstract The current study attempts to identify and measure the role of technology induction during the COVID-19 pandemic as either recreation or curse in students’ learning. By integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) and innovation diffusion theory (IDT) the study tries to measure the student’s online learning experience as recreation or curse. Data was collected from 387 students through purposive sampling. The findings of the study confirm that introduction of technology in online learning plays a recreational and significant role in student’s online learning. However, computer self-efficacy and relative advantage were found to be a curse in online learning during the pandemic. The overall findings of the study imply that the shift of student’s learning from traditional to online learning has been through introduction of new technology and innovations, although the diffusion of innovation and technology among Pakistani students has been challenging because of a comparatively lower computer literacy level. The usefulness and ease of online learning have been the strongest predictive and recreational aspects in students’ online learning. Institutes and higher education commissions should further invest in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of these factors to improve the overall learning outcome of students through recreational technological induction in education.
本研究试图确定和衡量新冠肺炎大流行期间技术诱导对学生学习的作用,无论是娱乐还是诅咒。通过整合技术接受模型(TAM)和创新扩散理论(IDT),本研究试图衡量学生的在线学习体验是娱乐还是诅咒。通过有目的抽样,对387名学生进行数据收集。研究结果证实了技术在网络学习中的引入对学生的在线学习具有娱乐性和显著性的作用。然而,在疫情期间,计算机自我效能和相对优势被发现是在线学习的诅咒。研究的总体结果表明,学生从传统学习到在线学习的转变是通过引入新技术和创新实现的,尽管由于巴基斯坦学生的计算机素养水平相对较低,创新和技术在巴基斯坦学生中的传播一直具有挑战性。在线学习的实用性和易用性是学生在线学习中最具预测性和娱乐性的方面。各学院及高等教育委员会应进一步投资,提高这些因素的质素和成效,透过娱乐科技诱导教育,改善学生的整体学习成效。

Abstract Evidence suggests that individuals’ leisure attitudes affect mental well-being positively and their anxiety negatively. In addition, there is no evidence of which of the dimensions of leisure attitude is more instrumental for mental well-being. A structural model is proposed to examine the effects of individuals’ leisure attitude and anxiety on mental well-being in the COVID-19 process. Data were randomly collected from people staying at home due to the curfew during the COVID-19 process. Model results showed that leisure attitude has a significant positive effect on mental well-being. The behavioural component of leisure attitude dimensions is relatively more effective in affecting well-being than others. Furthermore, anxiety negatively affects mental well-being. The obtained results provided important data regarding the effect of individuals’ leisure time and perception of anxiety on their mental well-being, especially during the pandemic period. In the light of the findings, the limitations and results of the research are discussed.
有证据表明,个体的休闲态度对心理健康有正向影响,对焦虑有负向影响。此外,没有证据表明休闲态度的哪个维度对心理健康更有帮助。提出了一个结构模型来检验COVID-19过程中个体休闲态度和焦虑对心理健康的影响。在新冠疫情期间,随机收集因宵禁而待在家里的人的数据。模型结果显示,休闲态度对心理健康有显著的正向影响。休闲态度维度的行为成分相对而言比其他因素更有效地影响幸福感。此外,焦虑会对心理健康产生负面影响。获得的结果提供了关于个人闲暇时间和焦虑感知对其心理健康的影响的重要数据,特别是在大流行期间。根据研究结果,讨论了研究的局限性和结果。

Abstract Self-service technologies (SSTs) have been implemented across all service industries. The hotel business in the UK, including budget hotels, has been increasingly adopting SSTs both to enhance customer service and to create operational efficiency. In addition to providing guests with accommodation and basic services, budget hotels are now using SSTs with a view to increasing controlling and operational efficiency, human resource management and engaging guests in a more intelligent service design. Previous studies have mainly focused on the users’ perspectives, not on the use of SSTs themselves in budget hotels. The purpose of this study, then, is to explore the implications of SSTs in budget hotels both from a managerial and a guest perspective. Bournemouth has been selected as a case study for this research because it is one of the most popular resorts in the UK. This qualitative study employed 14 semi-structured interviews with budget hotel managers and guests who have used SSTs while staying in budget hotels in Bournemouth. The research findings show that maxim-ising operational efficiency is a key benefit of SST implementation from a managerial perspective. On the other hand, efficiency, accessibility, privacy and self-control over transactions are the main benefits of an SST, emphasised by customers. Overall, there is positive feedback from both managers and guest on the usage of SSTs in budget hotels in Bournemouth. The authors conclude that advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT), in conjunction with SSTs, will transform the hospitality industry in the near future.
摘要自助服务技术(SSTs)已经在所有服务行业中实现。英国的酒店业务,包括经济型酒店,已经越来越多地采用SSTs来提高客户服务和创造运营效率。除了为客人提供住宿和基本服务外,经济型酒店现正采用服务电子化服务,以提高控制和运作效率、人力资源管理,以及让客人参与更智能的服务设计。以往的研究主要集中在用户的视角上,而不是在经济型酒店中使用SSTs本身。因此,本研究的目的是从管理和顾客的角度探讨经济型酒店的SSTs的含义。伯恩茅斯被选为本研究的案例研究,因为它是英国最受欢迎的度假胜地之一。本定性研究采用了14个半结构化访谈,访谈对象是在伯恩茅斯的经济型酒店中使用过SSTs的经济型酒店经理和客人。研究结果表明,从管理的角度来看,最大限度地提高运营效率是实施SST的一个关键好处。另一方面,客户强调的效率、可及性、隐私和对交易的自我控制是SST的主要好处。总的来说,在伯恩茅斯的经济型酒店中,经理和客人对SSTs的使用都有积极的反馈。作者得出结论,人工智能(AI)和物联网(IoT)等先进技术与SSTs相结合,将在不久的将来改变酒店业。

Abstract Hotel staff have been observed to be involved in workload for long hours with few break times, unpredictable shifting and lifting of heavy loads manually. Although these practices have the potential to reduce health and fitness status of staff thereby compromised productivity in hospitality industry and national development, it has, however, not been established whether the job-related activity patterns of the staff of star-rated hotels have implications on their health status and absenteeism factors. In total, 70 staff (48.6% male, 51.4% female, mean age = 24.63 ± 12.06) of star-rated hotels in Kumasi were sampled. International physical activity (IPAQ), health status (HSQ-12) and Koen–Müller’s employee absenteeism questionnaires were administered. About 77.0% spent averagely two hours/day and four days/week on vigorous job-related physical activities (PAs), 90.0% spent averagely four hours/day and five days/week on moderate job-related physical activities (heavy lifting, digging, heavy construction work, climbing upstairs) and spent averagely 1.8 hours/day walking during weekly activity. Job-related activities of the participants correlate significantly with daily vigorous PA (F = 5.625, P-value = 0.000). Participants’ self-reported results showed that vigorous- and moderate-job related activities amounted to good health status. Sleep deprivation, inad-equate rest days, short time with close-knit family predis-posed participants to absenteeism. The significant relationship between health status and absenteeism factors showed 87.2% variability. Participants strongly disagreed to being absent from work due to transport. Job-related activities of star-rated hotels staff are identical with vigorous daily PA, which could be harmful to health. Provision of functional and accessible health-care resources for staffers of star-rated hotels would attenuate unproductive absenteeism.
酒店员工被观察到长时间工作,很少休息时间,不可预测的转移和手动举起重物。虽然这些做法有可能降低工作人员的健康和健身状况,从而损害酒店业的生产力和国家发展,但是,尚未确定星级酒店工作人员与工作有关的活动模式是否对他们的健康状况和缺勤因素有影响。共抽样库马西星级酒店工作人员70人,其中男性48.6%,女性51.4%,平均年龄24.63±12.06岁。采用国际体力活动量表(IPAQ)、健康状况量表(HSQ-12)和koen - m ller员工旷工问卷。约77.0%的人平均每天花2小时及每周4天从事与工作有关的剧烈体力活动,90.0%的人平均每天花4小时及每周5天从事与工作有关的中度体力活动(举重、挖掘、重型建筑工作、爬楼上),以及在每周活动期间平均每天花1.8小时散步。被试的工作相关活动与每日剧烈PA显著相关(F = 5.625, p值= 0.000)。参与者自我报告的结果显示,与工作相关的剧烈和适度的活动相当于良好的健康状况。睡眠不足,休息日不足,与亲密家庭在一起的时间短,使参与者容易缺勤。健康状况与缺勤因素之间存在显著的相关关系,变异率为87.2%。参加者强烈反对因交通问题而旷工。星级酒店员工的工作活动与日常剧烈的PA相同,可能对健康有害。为星级酒店的工作人员提供功能性和可获得的保健资源将减少非生产性缺勤。

Abstract The article aims to assess the competitiveness of hotels in Łódź on the meeting tourism (MICE) market based on an analysis of their conference facilities. The data was obtained from GUS statistics, reports on MICE tourism in Poland and as a result of own field research carried out in 2019. Exploratory data analysis was used in their development. The development of modern hotels in Łódź of higher categories with obligatory conference rooms has contributed to the diversification of the possibilities of organising MICE tourism by city hotels. The hotel’s possession of conference facilities has become an important factor in building its competitive advantage. The analysis of hotel equipment with conference facilities, using the conference service capacity (CSC) index, turned out to be a sufficiently correct measure to illustrate the diversity of hotels’ ability to compete in the MICE urban tourism market.
本文旨在通过对Łódź酒店会议设施的分析,评估其在会议旅游(MICE)市场上的竞争力。这些数据来自GUS的统计数据、关于波兰会展旅游的报告以及2019年自己进行的实地研究。探索性数据分析用于其开发。现代酒店的发展,在Łódź更高类别的强制性会议室,有助于多样化的可能性组织会议旅游的城市酒店。酒店拥有的会议设施已成为建立其竞争优势的重要因素。运用会议服务能力(conference service capacity, CSC)指标对酒店配备会议设施的情况进行分析,是反映酒店在会展城市旅游市场竞争能力多样性的正确指标。

Abstract Just like in other industries, it is very important to choose the best possible location in hotel investments. As there are too many alternatives and changing touristic demands, there is serious competition within the hospitality sector. Therefore, all the investors want their properties located at the most profitable and competitive sites. To do so, they should decide the hotel location site by doing a well-analysed feasibility study. The hotel location selection can be influenced by some elements such as natural, economical, socio-cultural, legal, psychological factors and agglomeration effects. All of these factors have important roles of a hotel’s business success. However, especially in the last few years, the increasing numbers of hotel investments call in doubt that these factors are not considered properly. With this doubt, the main problems of this research have been revealed: what main factors do the investors consider in their investment decisions, and how do they decide the best site to locate the hotel? These problems also create the aims of this paper, which are to determine the factors that are important for investors and to find out where the most selected investment zones are. To achieve this goal, Istanbul has been divided into five agglomeration (investment) zones such as Historical Peninsula, Taksim-Beşiktaş-Şişli, Sarıyer-Maslak-Levent, Airport Area and Anatolian Side, according to their agglomeration effects. Then, interviews were completed with six hotel investors from these areas in order to get their opinions about the investment decisions. The gathered information has been analysed by the fuzyy TOPSIS method, which helps to calculate the subjective thoughts of the investors in a quantitative way. Then, the order of preference within the investment zones was calculated to determine the most popular site among the investors. The results showed that the most important factors for hotel location selection are agglomeration effects and economical factors. According to the order of preference, the most preferred location site has been determined as the Historical Peninsula, which includes Fatih, Eminönü, Sultan-ahmet and Topkapı zones.
与其他行业一样,选择最佳的酒店投资地点非常重要。由于有太多的选择和不断变化的旅游需求,酒店业内部竞争激烈。因此,所有投资者都希望他们的房产位于最有利可图和最具竞争力的地点。要做到这一点,他们应该通过进行充分分析的可行性研究来决定酒店的选址。酒店区位选择会受到自然因素、经济因素、社会文化因素、法律因素、心理因素和集聚效应等因素的影响。所有这些因素都对酒店的商业成功起着重要的作用。然而,特别是在最近几年,越来越多的酒店投资让人怀疑这些因素没有得到适当的考虑。有了这个疑问,本研究的主要问题就暴露出来了:投资者在投资决策中主要考虑哪些因素,他们如何决定酒店的最佳选址?这些问题也创造了本文的目的,即确定对投资者重要的因素,并找出最受选择的投资区在哪里。为了实现这一目标,伊斯坦布尔根据其集聚效果划分为五个集聚(投资)区,如历史半岛、塔克西姆-别伊克塔伊茨-Şişli、Sarıyer-Maslak-Levent、机场区和安纳托利亚侧。然后,与来自这些地区的六位酒店投资者进行访谈,以获得他们对投资决策的意见。利用模糊TOPSIS法对收集到的信息进行分析,定量计算投资者的主观想法。然后,计算投资区内的偏好顺序,以确定最受投资者欢迎的地点。结果表明,影响酒店区位选择的最主要因素是集聚效应和经济性因素。根据偏好顺序,最受欢迎的地点被确定为历史半岛,包括法提赫,Eminönü,苏丹艾哈迈德和托普卡比区。

Abstract The availability of hotel facilities and services and their quality are one of the most important factor in selection of a tourist destination. The aim of the article was to analyse the impact of hotel location factors, prices of hotel services and detailed assessments of hotel services provided by the hotel on the overall rating of the hotel. As a case study, Zadar – a city located in the northern part of the Dalmatian coast of Croatia – was used to analyse the problem. The location determinants of hotels and their equipment were assessed in relation to the price of accommodation and tourists’ evaluation of the basic components of hotel services. The analysis used data obtained from the Booking.com website for accommodation prices, including selected days of the high and low season, data on the number of opinions about the object and the rating of the object by guests in terms of the overall opinion about the object, its location conditions, the standard of services rendered, cleanliness, comfort, evaluation of staff work, access to Wi-Fi network and assessment of services rendered in relation to the price of the service. The obtained results indicate hotel location, especially its distance from the city centre, railway station and airport and evaluation of chosen elements of customers’ hotel evaluation are most significant determinants of choosing accommodation for tourists.
酒店设施和服务的可用性及其质量是选择旅游目的地的最重要因素之一。本文的目的是分析酒店位置因素、酒店服务价格以及酒店提供的酒店服务的详细评估对酒店整体评级的影响。作为一个案例研究,扎达尔——一个位于克罗地亚达尔马提亚海岸北部的城市——被用来分析这个问题。根据住宿价格和游客对酒店服务基本组成部分的评价,对酒店及其设备的位置决定因素进行了评估。分析使用了从Booking.com网站获得的住宿价格数据,包括淡季和旺季的选定天数,关于该对象的意见数量的数据,以及客人对该对象的总体意见,其位置条件,所提供的服务标准,清洁度,舒适度,对工作人员工作的评价,Wi-Fi网络的接入以及与服务价格相关的服务评估。所获得的结果表明,酒店的位置,特别是它与市中心、火车站和机场的距离,以及顾客对酒店评价的选择要素的评价,是游客选择住宿的最重要决定因素。

Abstract The main goal of the paper is to identify the perception of technology by managers of five-star hotels located in Antalya region (Turkey). The managerial perception in the following contexts is discussed in detail: the enterprise, the employees, the managers and the competitiveness of hotel entities. The selection of such research area was determined by the fact that Antalya is one of the top Turkish tourist destinations, with international profile of visitors and intense hotel competition. The following three types of hotels were investigated: hotels affiliated with international chains, hotels affiliated with national brands and independent enterprises. Furthermore, 12 selected general managers were interviewed regarding the above-mentioned hotel types. The results confirmed that managers of internationally affiliated hotels are more focused on increasing their employees’ skills and competencies compared to managers of independent entities.

Abstract This study aims to investigate ten hotels on the island of Gotland and their daily, practical work towards sustainability. An exploratory study was conducted at ten hotel establishments on the island of Gotland in Sweden. Ten hotel managers were interviewed about their daily practice and work towards sustainable solutions at their hotels. The results show that there are big differences between these hotels regarding the way in which knowledge about sustainability issues are implemented and shared to the personnel as well to the guests. In addition, there is a clear difference in the way in which sustainability is expressed in practice: the accountability is largely attributable to most of the hotels, but a few convey responsibility. Some of the managers seem to take a more active role in mediation of sustainability issues than is the case with the majority of the hotel managers. Also, anonymity between hotel guests and staff, large number of seasonal workers and insufficiently trained staff can be seen as a hindrance for knowledge exchange over the sustainability issues. Working with sustainability issues can also be seen as a way to win market shares in the hotel business. The study makes contribution to the knowledge of processes of co-creation of sustainable values by exploring how some hotel managers are working towards sustainability on a daily basis. The study can help to share knowledge of possibilities and hindrances in daily work towards sustainable hotels.
摘要:本研究旨在调查哥特兰岛上的十家酒店,以及他们在可持续发展方面的日常实际工作。一项探索性研究在瑞典哥特兰岛上的十家酒店进行。十位酒店经理接受了采访,介绍了他们在酒店的日常实践和可持续解决方案方面所做的工作。结果表明,这些酒店在可持续发展知识的实施和向员工和客人分享的方式上存在很大差异。此外,在实践中表达可持续性的方式也有明显的不同:责任主要归因于大多数酒店,但少数酒店传达责任。与大多数酒店经理相比,一些经理似乎在可持续性问题的调解中发挥了更积极的作用。此外,酒店客人和工作人员之间的匿名性,大量的季节性工人和训练不足的工作人员可以被视为对可持续性问题的知识交流的障碍。解决可持续发展问题也可以被视为赢得酒店业务市场份额的一种方式。该研究通过探索一些酒店经理如何在日常工作中实现可持续发展,为共同创造可持续价值的过程做出了贡献。这项研究有助于分享可持续酒店日常工作中的可能性和障碍。
