Abstract
‘We’re in the people business.’ Long established as the mantra of hospitality and tourism, the sector has substantial expertise in sharpening customer care skills to gain a marketing edge. But customers are only half the equation. Less studied is the expertise of companies in managing their workforce – the employees who, more than in any other industry, are customer-facing. New research led by Dr. Fevzi Okumus, UCF Rosen College’s Professor of Hospitality Services, and his collaborator, a former Ph.D. student from Rosen College, looks at an increasingly important aspect of the sector’s employment practice: diversity management.
