dc.description.abstractThe hospitality and tourism industry is a significant contributor to the economies of many countries. As a result, countries need an educated, skilled and committed workforce to be successful. To fill this need, colleges and university have developed programs of study to improve the quality of human resources working in this industry. This study considers predictors of comment to a career in hospitality and tourism among 640 male and 375 female university tourism students in Turkey. Three types of predictors were examined using hierarchical regression analyses: work values, levels of student engagement during their program of study, and levels of student burnout during their university studies. Work values were unrelated to commitment to a career in hospitality and tourism: students' reporting higher levels of engagement, and those reporting lower levels of burnout, were more committed to careers in tourism. Implications of these findings for university tourism programs and employers of graduates of university tourism programs are offered.en_US
