Abstrakty

The principal aim of the current paper is to contribute towards the development of a holistic employer programme for the hospitality and tourism sector. Its purpose focuses on the identification of factor affecting the collaborative efforts among all three stakeholder groups in the tourism and hospitality sector in Greece. The paper responds to the increasing calls from the literature regarding the simultaneous and equal representation of all involved stakeholder groups in the discussion. This is the first effort to address this issue in a Greek context. The empirical results indicate that lack of communication was deemed the most critical factor for these initiatives. Stronger interaction between businesses and academics in order to exchange ideas and knowledge, employers’ contribution to the curricula design, collaboration, trust and satisfaction are some of the activities that would strengthen cooperation. Additionally, for an employer programme to be successful it would have to be functional and generate benefits for all stakeholders.

Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest przyczynienie się do opracowania całościowego programu pracodawców dla sektora hotelarsko-turystycznego. Jego celem jest identyfikacja czynnika wpływającego na wspólne wysiłki wszystkich trzech grup interesariuszy w sektorze turystyki i hotelarstwa w Grecji. Artykuł odpowiada na rosnące wezwania z literatury dotyczące równoczesnej i równej reprezentacji wszystkich zaangażowanych grup interesariuszy w dyskusji. Jest to pierwsza próba rozwiązania tego problemu w kontekście greckim. Wyniki empiryczne wskazują, że brak komunikacji uznano za najbardziej krytyczny czynnik dla tych inicjatyw. Silniejsza interakcja między przedsiębiorstwami i naukowcami w celu wymiany pomysłów i wiedzy, wkład pracodawców w projektowanie programów nauczania, współpraca, zaufanie i satysfakcja to tylko niektóre z działań, które wzmocniłyby współpracę. Dodatkowo, aby program pracodawcy odniósł sukces, musiałby być funkcjonalny i generować korzyści dla wszystkich interesariuszy.
