Aim: Nowadays, China‟s hotel industry has developed rapidly and makes a great contribution to service industry. Nevertheless, there are still various problems in the hotel industry. There is a lack of suitable human resource strategies to develop employees qualitatively and quantitatively, which is the main internal reason. Therefore, with the evaluation of whether the Haibin Hotel and Westin Hotel are aware of the importance of the employees in service delivery and research on how the two hotels develop people to deliver excellent service through human resource strategies, which ultimately reveal that service personnel is playing an extremely important role on excellent service delivery in this paper. Method: This paper investigates Haibin Hotel and Westin Hotel as multiple case studies to study the human resource strategies for delivering service quality through people. In order to examine the validity of previous relevant theories hence put forward the developed theory of service quality delivery chain through collecting and analysing data from telephone interview with managers and survey employees through questionnaires in both hotels. Result & Conclusions: With researching the human resource strategies for improving the employees' quality and quantity, and comparing the differences in service delivery through people in both hotels, we conclude that hotels should highlight that the service employees' play an extremely important role on good service delivery as well as specially emphasize on the service quality delivery through integrating the service culture and human resource strategies into the hotels. Suggestions for future research: One limitation is a lack of customer perception on service delivery. Another limitation is in the telephone interview which cannot yield complete information about the hotel. Two suggestions for further research have been put forward in this paper. One is to conduct more than three case studies that can make the data more rich and effective if the time allowed. Another is adopting face-to-face interviews to collect the qualitative data. Contribution of the thesis: This paper reveals how the important role of employees in service quality delivery and come up with a developed theory could be applicable to other hotels and provide the guideline for other hotels to improve the service quality delivery.

An investigation of the antecedents of service delivery and organisational performance : a service culture perspectiveIfie, Kemefasu January 2010 (has links)
Service quality has been shown to be critical for the success of service organisations. However, the quality of service delivered by an organisation is dependent on the behaviours of organisational members. Therefore, understanding the various processes that foster desirable service behaviour is important. While there have been many studies which deal with antecedents of service delivery, research adopting a cultural perspective and focusing on elements such as shared values and norms have been somewhat sparse. This is quite surprising given the amount of reference to the importance of a service culture. Recently, there have been calls for research into the cultural determinants of service quality and in particular service culture. This study answers the call by testing a multi-layer model of service culture and performance. The key objectives of the study relate to understanding how service culture leads to both customer-based and financial performance, as well as investigating the process of culture transmission from managers to employees. On the basis of data collected from management and employees, the study assesses service culture at the management and the employee levels, focusing simultaneously on assumptions, value, norms and behaviours. Two routes for culture transmission: the social contagion and behavioural routes are hypothesised and tested. The key findings are that shared service norms are the key impact point of culture transmission from management to employees as well as the key determinant of employee service delivery behaviour. The findings also show that proximity among managers and employees is crucial in the diffusion of service culture and hence in the leadership influencing process. Based on the findings, managerial implications for managing service employees are discussed as well as limitations and suggestions for future research.
