Sažetak
This study constructs a three-dimensions of perceived career barriers
(CB) of hospitality and tourism management (HTM) students,
namely personal, social and interactional career barriers, and
explores their impacts on students’ professional identity and intention
to work in hospitality and tourism (H&T) industry. The findings
based on a sample of 842 HTM students in mainland China are as
follows. Firstly, the three-dimensions model could reveal the structure
of HTM students’ perceived career barriers and all dimensions
have significantly negative effects on professional identity and career
intention. Meanwhile, the predictive power of personal career
barriers is strongest, interactional and social barriers followed.
Secondly, students’ professional identity plays a role as a mediator
between career barriers and intention. Lastly, the barriers could be
negotiated by major satisfaction, as it moderates the relationship of
career barriers to intention partially. Managerial implications are
also discussed for tourism industries and educators.
