The impacts of school support and hotel support on hotel interns’ career growth: The mediation of role clarity and occupational identification
Abstract
This study aims to examine the effects of school support and hotel support on hotel interns' career growth through the mediation of role clarity and occupational identification. Analyzing data from 476 hotel interns in China, the study revealed that both school support and hotel support positively influenced hotel interns' career growth, and role clarity partially mediated this relationship. Occupational identification did not significantly mediate the relationship between school support and career growth, but it significantly mediated the relationship between hotel support and career growth. This study provides both theoretical contributions and practical implications in guiding hotel internship practices and hotel interns’ career development.
