Towards a shared understanding of the service experience – a hospitality stakeholder approach

2019 , King, Ceridwyn , Murillo Othón, Enrique Martín , Wei, Wei , Madera, Juan , Tews, Michael J. , Israeli, Aviad A. , Kong, Lu

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to start a conversation on achieving a shared understanding among hospitality service co-creation participants. Adopting a stakeholder and service eco-systems approach, attention is drawn to the necessity for all service experience participants to have a shared understanding of the service experience and their role within it, for a sustained competitive advantage to be realized. Informed by community of practice (CoP) thinking, a road map of research questions is advanced encouraging insight into a macro level phenomenon that, traditionally, is only ever considered at the micro service encounter level. Design/methodology/approach: A thorough multidisciplinary review of the literature was undertaken, providing an opportunity to present a viewpoint on the strategic implications of providing a sustainable competitive advantage via the hospitality service experience. Findings: To achieve a shared understanding across the Hospitality Service Experience Eco-System, potential tensions among stakeholders are highlighted. Accounting for such barriers, institutional arrangements, combining organizational CoPs that are bridged by designated boundary objects, is advanced. Given the novel approach of applying a traditionally organizational phenomenon at a macro multi-stakeholder level, several research questions are proposed to inform thinking about this neglected perspective. Originality/value: Acknowledging the innovation, agility and resources required to maintain a competitive service experience, the paper emphasizes the importance of adopting a macro perspective to effective service management. The hope is to stimulate academic interest to inform understanding as to how to build this capability as well as enhance practitioner interest in promoting stakeholders’ CoP for the benefit of the entire Hospitality Service Experience Eco-System. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Reimagining attraction and retention of hospitality management talent– A multilevel identity perspective

2021 , King, Ceridwyn , Madera, Juan , Lee, Lindsey , Murillo Othón, Enrique Martín , Baum, Tom , Solnet, David

Through the lens of hospitality, an industry with chronic retention issues, this article seeks to stimulate reflection on labor-intensive industries and how we can reimagine their responses to an evolving labor market environment when seeking to attract and retain management talent. Drawing on identity economics, whereby employees’ identity utility is an important incentive in employment decision-making, the necessity for a multilevel perspective of identity formation is advanced. Positing that employees’ work identity is informed by individual (micro), organizational (meso), and professional (macro) level factors, this perspective illuminates the important role that macro level stakeholders play in employee identity formation, particularly in the hospitality industry. Further, it emphasizes the interconnectedness of levels in shaping an employee's identity and career decisions. Through a series of research questions, a line of inquiry is articulated for the purpose of addressing the challenges of attracting and retaining management talent from a holistic identity formation perspective. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
