| description | This study aims to identify the factors that contributed towards women employees'
career progression in Sabah's hospitality industry. The hotels involved were Cititel
Express, Kinabalu Daya Hotel and Imperial International Hotel. One of the
objectives of this research was to identify the level of women's career progression in
Sabah's hotels whether it is low, moderate or high. There were five hypotheses
generated which are to examine the relationship between organizational climate,
network access, gender stereotypes, family support, work family balance and
women 's career progression. This study also aimed to identify the most dominant
factor that contributed towards women's career progression in Sabah's hotels. The
data were collected using questionnaires in which the questions had been adapted
from previous researches. Pilot study was carried out in two Sabah's hotels which
are The Palace Hotel and Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Beach Resort & Spa before the
actual study was conducted. The data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation
Analysis and Multiple Regressions Analysis. The findings of this research indicated
that organizational climate, network access, family support and work family balance
were the factors that had contributed towards women's career progression in
Sabah 's hotels. However, gender stereotypes did not have a significant relationship
with women's career progression in Sabah's hotels. Meanwhile, the result of the
Multiple Regression Analysis showed that organizational climate was the most
dominant factor that had contributed towards women's career progression in
Sabah's hotels. Few recommendations had been made especially to the Human
Resource Practitioners in order for them to ensure that women employees have equal
opportunities like men in terms of career progression in the hotels. In addition, few
recommendations had been made for future research. |
