Organización de empresas

El objetivo del trabajo de la red es, por un lado, analizar la satisfacción de los alumnos con el Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) y, por otro, estudiar la percepción que tienen los alumnos que finalizan estudios sobre las capacidades de empleabilidad alcanzadas. Para lograr estos objetivos, se han realizado dos encuestas dirigidas a los alumnos de TFG y a los alumnos de últimos cursos de las titulaciones en las que impartimos docencia. Los resultados muestran la satisfacción del alumnado con el TFG y las capacidades a mejorar con relación a la empleabilidad: iniciativa, negociación, detección de nuevas oportunidades, uso de herramientas informáticas, búsqueda de ideas y soluciones, hablar en público, redactar informes e idiomas.

Affecting Factors of Public Employees’ Ganizational Commitment

Purpose – The aim of this chapter is to shed some light on the antecedents of organizational commitment, the mediating role of job engagement and job satisfaction as determinants of organizational commitment within the public sector environment, and the effects that national cultural values may have on these relationships. Approach – This paper presents a review of the works that, from both theoretical and empirical points of view, explore the affecting factors of public employees’ organizational commitment in an international setting. Findings – A comprehensive model has been developed, detailing the expectations on the influence that these factors might have on public employees’ level of commitment, either as mediators or moderators. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation is the paper’s theoretical nature; the subsequent implication is a future empirical research that may prove or disprove these theoretical findings. In addition, there are some other possible mediating factors and antecedents which may be of interest for future researchers. Originality/value – This comprehensive review of the extant literature may provide academics and public managers with a deeper comprehension of how organizational commitment might be achieved, and why some practices may or may not be transferrable from one country to another.

The intellectual structure of research in hospitality management: A literature review using bibliometric methods of the journal International Journal of Hospitality Management

The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing literature on hospitality management from all the research papers published in The International Journal of Hospitality Management (IJHM) between 2008 and 2014. The authors apply bibliometric methods – in particular, author citation and co-citation analyses (ACA) – to identify the main research lines within this scientific field; in other words, its ‘intellectual structure’. Social network analysis (SNA) is also used to perform a visualization of this structure. The results of the analysis allow us to define the different research lines or fronts which shape the intellectual structure of research on hospitality management.
