SUMMARY:Midday Break
DESCRIPTION:Midday Break: Read and React: “What is my calling? An exploratory mixed-methods approach to conceptualizing hospitality career calling”\nMany are feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the events industry workforce. Organizations and venues alike are struggling to hire back employees\, recruit new staff\, and retain existing staff. Join this PCMA PHL Midday Break to discuss an academic article that studied “calling dimensions” as they relate to advancing the hospitality workforce. According to the article\, “Calling has historically been defined as a sense of destiny or prosocial obligation (Duffy et al.\, 2018); however\, calling has more recently been understood as a sense of fulfillment or happiness\, emphasizing the current workforces’ focus on meaningful careers (Duffy et al.\, 2018). Calling has been found to enhance academic satisfaction (Duffy et al.\, 2011)\, life satisfaction (Duffy et al.\, 2017)\, vocational identity (Galles and Lenz\, 2013; Hirschi and Herrmann\, 2012) and well-being (Marsh and Dik\, 2020). More importantly\, previous studies found a sense of calling positively influences critical job-related attitudes and behavior such as career commitment\, job satisfaction and turnover (Chen et al.\, 2018; Duffy et al.\, 2012).” Join us for this session to discuss this study in more detail and what insights might be gleaned for solving current staffing challenges. \nThis article was written by: Lindsey Lee\, School of Sport\, Tourism and Hospitality Management\, Temple University; Sandra Sun-Ah Ponting\, L. Robert Payne School of Hospitality and Tourism Management\, San Diego State University; Ankita Ghosh\, William F. Harrah College of Hospitality\, University of Nevada Las Vegas; Hyounae (Kelly) Min\, The Collins College of Hospitality Management\, California State Polytechnic\, University Pomona.
