What is it about?
High employee turnover is a continuing challenge for tourism operators, notably in Macau with its tightly regulated labor market and rapid expansion of hotel room capacity. The six major Macau major casino operators have adopted employee retention programs to promote staff retention during this period of supply-led business growth. The study investigates the employee reaction to such schemes and whether they have any influence over their intentions to remain, with particular attention to any differences relating to gender and to organizational culture (Chinese or international).
