ENHANCING TOURISM HUMAN RESOURCE TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS FOR INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF LEARNING MOTIVATION
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Amid globalization and digital transformation, tourism education in emerging economies like Vietnam faces increasing demands for quality and global integration. This study employs PLS-SEM to analyze data from 538 students and validate a model identifying key factors influencing training effectiveness, with learning motivation as a mediating variable. Results reveal that all five input factors-teaching quality, training curriculum, internship opportunities, school–enterprise linkage, and digital competence-positively affect learning motivation, with the strongest effects from school-enterprise linkage and teaching quality. Only three factors have direct impacts on training effectiveness, while the others operate indirectly through motivation. The study contributes to theory by clarifying direct and indirect influences and offers practical recommendations for enhancing curriculum design, teaching, and institutional–industry collaboration to improve graduates’ global readiness.
