The Effect of Gender Difference on Turnover Behavior of Hotels Employees in China
Sexual equality is a national policy to promote social development in China in 1995,but sexual discrimination still exists in career context.This paper studies the difference of gender in hotel industry in mainland China.A survey was carried out with a structured questionnaire to gather career information from a sample of employees(n=1436) working in 4 hotels.The data was then analyzed using a range of descriptive and evaluative techniques.Results show that hotel industry hires much more females than males owing to its service functions,a number of positions are traditionally perceived as male job and accordingly excluded from female consideration,including engineering department and security department.Married females and males usually choose to remain in service work,but unmarried staffs are inclined to leave.These findings have implications on employment for individuals and organizations.
