Abstract
This study examined the effect of selection attributes of occupation perceived by job seekers majoring in hotel and tourism college on employment intention and the moderating effect of career barriers in this influential relationship. The purpose of this study is to identify career barriers recognized as obstacles to employment decisions that hotel and tourism majors usually consider when deciding to get a job in the hotel tourism industry, and to convey to the person in charge of the industry and educational institutions that strategic management of these variables is necessary. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the effect on employment intention is reported to have a higher regression coefficient of intrinsic attribute than the extrinsic attribute. It indicates that the higher the perception of intrinsic attribute than extrinsic attribute, the higher the employment intention. Second, high perception of career barriers, such as lack of skill/knowledge required for employment and low number of internship experience, shows a low impact of selection attributes of occupation on employment intention. In preparation for the post COVID-19 era, this study is meaningful in that it identified the selection attributes of occupation that job seekers majoring in hotel and tourism usually consider when deciding employment in hotel and tourism industry and career barriers that are recognized as obstacle to employment decision.
