Socio‐cultural impacts of peer‐to‐peer accommodation on host communities

Publication . Petruzzi, Marina A.; Marques, Catarina; Campos, Ana Cláudia

Peer-to-peer accommodation has recently emerged as a central focus of research in tourism and hospitality. However, research on socio-cultural impacts of peer-to-peer accommodation is fragmented. This study reviews the relevant literature on the socio-cultural impacts of peer-to-peer accommodation on host communities and proposes an integrative framework and a working definition for goal socio-cultural impacts of peer-to-peer accommodation. This literature review contributes to knowledge of how this business paradigm affects and frames host communities and integrates the factors that should be explored by researchers, policymakers, and organizations to manage the impacts of peer-to-peer accommodation on host communities.

Work-family conflict’s mediating effect on the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction in the hospitality industry: Evidence from the Algarve, Portugal

Publication . Duarte, Ana Patrícia; Contreiras, Joaquim Pinto; Seabra, Fernando Miguel

This study examined work-family and family-work conflicts’ mediating effect on the relationship between hotel workers’ job insecurity and job satisfaction in the Algarve, Portugal. The final sample comprised 166 employees who voluntarily completed a survey. SPSS and PROCESS macro software was used to analyze the data. Multiple regression analysis revealed that job insecurity is significantly related to job satisfaction both directly and indirectly via work-family conflict. Family-work conflict does not significantly mediate the abovementioned relationship. Hotel managers should continually monitor and enhance employees’ job satisfaction including providing more job security and implementing practices that foster a work-family balance.
