Effects Of Management-Development Practices On Hospitality Management Graduates' Job Satisfaction And Intention To Stay, Edwin Torres, Howard Adler

Edwin Torres

Companies have long recognized the importance of training and developing their managers to prepare them for their short- and long-term careers. Formal management-development programs and other less formal means of management development abound in the hospitality industry. Therefore, one may ask whether the entry-level managers for whom these programs are designed perceive them to be effective. The present study explores management-development practices, procedures, and techniques, and their effects on job satisfaction and organizational commitment

Food Nation 美食天堂

Hong Kong derives its name from a Cantonese expression 香港, which means "fragrant harbour". Scholars attribute the name to incense factories that stored merchandise in Aberdeen warehouses in the 19th century, but these days it's the scent of cooking that fills the air with sweet aromas as a wave of new restaurants open their doors. As Daniel Jeffreys reports, the city's vibrant culinary scene has made its appetite for skilled labour almost insatiable.

英文"Hong Kong"得自於「香港」的粵語諧音，「香港」意指「芳香之港」。根據學者研究，在19世紀之時，石排灣港口﹝今香港仔一帶﹞因運銷香樹製品馳名遠近，享有「香港」之美譽，其後整座島嶼亦因此得名。時至今日，隨著眾多新餐廳的次第開張，令香港飄香四溢、享譽全球的已不再是香料，而是各種美味佳餚。而這座城市蓬勃發展的飲食業，亦對訓練有素的專業人員求才若渴。

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
