Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The hospitality industry is increasingly being challenged in retaining talent. As a result, organizations experience high turnover rates. Through Human Resources Management (HRM) approaches, hospitality organizations may increase retention rates, by adopting soft HRM practices. Hence, the current study aims to evaluate how soft HRM affects job satisfaction and employee retention within the hospitality industry, by conducting a deeper analysis of the application of HRM practices. Included is the use of employer branding. To support the current study, qualitative and quantitative research was conducted on employees of the Hilton Diagonal Mar hotel in Barcelona, Spain. The results revealed that job satisfaction is not entirely fostered by increasing salary, however more closely related to the quality of the work environment, a strong sense of empowerment and leadership, continuous training, work-life balance, reputation and recognition of the hotel's brand image, and employees' individual characteristics. Based on the study's findings, the co-authors suggest a conceptual model to address the challenge of retaining talented people.
