Chapter Two: Literature Review

2.1 Background to Hotel Industry of UK

The hotels reflect more than one fifth proportion of the entire hospitality industry of the UK,

which is less than the bars and restaurants. The number of the hotels functioning in the UK has

remained flat with the passage of time while the employment per organisations has increased

from three percent from the years 2008 to 2010. The UK hotel industry is referred to as the

fragmented industry with significant proportion of the independent bed and breakfast. This

provided that the majority of the inventory of the hotel industry is comprised of the branded hotel

chains. The five star hotels of the UK hotel industry include the organisations providing the

services and amnesties with higher quality along with the customised and personalised services

(Enz, 2009). The preference of the guests to select the midmarket to the luxury hotels can be the

desire for consistent quality. The quality of the hospitality industry is important because of the

frequent communication with consumers. To maintain the competitive position of the hotel

industry, it is important to ensure the quality standards are of higher level for creating the loyal

consumers. The hotels are required to win the guests with the standards of quality in the

intangible products such as levels of service, management and convenience services while

dealing with the requests of consumers (Barron, 2008).

2.2 Concept of Training

Jeou-Shyan, et al (2011) and Chiang and Jang (2008) has noted that training is the procedure that

provides employees with the adequate skills and the knowledge needed to work inside the

standards and systems established by the higher officials of an organisation. The researchers

have analysed that training is considered as the most simplistic demonstration of competence. It

is an action that change peoples attitude. In addition, as staff training is an imperative part of
 4

HRM activities and more organisational regardless of their nature, businesses have recognised

that staff training is very important in the varying and multifaceted work setting..

2.3 Training in the Hotel Industry

According to Enz (2009) in current hotel businesses, it is simply about the proficiency in

individuals, and particularly the workers abilities. In addition, it is noted that the level of service

quality merely hinge on the skills and abilities of workers. Moreover, the core skills required in

workers are about information, abilities and views that direct towards a hotels existence and

expansion (Claver-Corts, et al., 2008). For that reason, Bulut & Culha (2010) argued that staff

training plays an imperative part in numerous ways; as it improves the productivity level whereas

workers are equipped with professional understanding, experienced skills and binding thoughts;

employee training also inspires and encourage employees by giving workers all the required

information in work as well as assist them to identify how vital their responsibilities are. In

addition, training and development might be seen as an important tool in the execution of HRM

policies and practices. However, the leading hotels always comprise staff training as their vital

development approach.

2.4 Types of Training to Enhance Employee Performance in F&B Department

According to Kalargyrou & Woods (2011), training programs can have the greatest effect on

lessening employee turnover in the hotel business. Moreover, each organisation needs to conduct

proper training and needs to find the strategies that work effectively for them. In addition,

workers that are not prepared effectively cost the organisation more money over the long run. In

addition, Patiar & Mia (2009) and Katou and Budhwar (2010) reflected some techniques that the

hospitality business utilises when training their workers include: work tests, at work training,

skills tests, lectures and so on. In addition to this, different computer based programs, lectures,
 5

simulations, and games are the most effective types that often used by diverse organisations

(Patiar & Mia, 2009; Katou & Budhwar, 2010).

2.4.1 Lecture method

According to Meckel et al (2008) the lecture is effectively used to form a general comprehension

of a subject or to impact attitudes through education regarding a point or matter. Moreover, the

most widely recognized type of off-the-job-training is the oral presentation of data to a group of

people. Furthermore, by utilising this considered technique, Arasli & Tumer (2008) argued that

large amounts of data can be delivered in a generally brief timeframe to an extensive number of

individuals. In addition, a major concern regarding the lecture strategy is that no recompense is

made during the lectures for clarifying the levels of comprehension among participants.

However, trainees do not effectively understand training procedures and they may overlook

much information when it is displayed orally. Additionally, at the point when the main training

goal is as one particular factual data, learning can be achieved by placing data into the text

material (Pereira-Moliner, et al., 2012; gaard, et al., 2008).

2.4.2 Computer based training

Kalargyrou & Woods (2011) stated that computer based training can be characterised as any

training that occurs by using PC effectively. It is noted that most of the organisations are

executing this type of training as a contrasting option to classroom based training. In addition,

some of the core reason behind this is to lessens trainee learning time, diminishes the cost of

training, gives instructional consistency, manages security of learning, students can concentrate

just on what they have to know, builds access to training, permits student to master learning, that

is the most ideal approach to keep motivation and interest high (Babakus, et al., 2008; Grady &

Ohlin, 2009).
 6

2.4.3 Games and Simulation

According to Babakus et al (2008) different training simulations and games are intended to

recreate or simulate procedures, events, and conditions that happen in the trainees employment.

Moreover, trainees can encounter these occasions in a controlled setting zone, where they can

build up their aptitudes or find ideas that will enhance their execution. Furthermore, numerous

associations additionally create games that are intended to present or strengthen essential ideas.

In addition, these diversions regularly include group interest, so that the colleagues working in

amicability are required to settle on choices or plan a game-plan that will settle a specific issue or

create opportunities for the association. Choi & Dickson (2009) stated that the most imperative

part of this training is not the exercises in which the participants connect with, but rather

handling the outcomes when the game is completed.

2.4.4 On-the-Job Training Methods

Claver-Corts, et al (2008) evaluated that the core purpose of this considered training method is

to provide representatives with tasks, specific information and abilities in a work zone.

Moreover, the learning and abilities exhibited amid at work are directly identified with job

prerequisites. In addition, job instruction strategy, job rotation, instructing and apprenticeship

trainings are the regular types of on the job training techniques. Furthermore, Enz (2009)

highlighted that the job instruction training is an organised way to deal with training, which

obliges learners to continue through a progression of steps in a systematic way. Furthermore, the

system utilises behavioural methodology with an attention on skill improvement, yet there are

typically some authentic and procedural information goals too (Claver-Corts, et al., 2008; Enz,

2009).
 7

2.5 Motivational Theories

2.5.1 Hierarchy of Needs

The hierarchy of needs of Maslow is the motivational theory in psychology is consisted of the

five tiers of human needs depicted as the hierarchical levels. Maslow understood the elements

motivating people with the belief that people possess certain systems for motivation not related

to the rewards and unconscious desires. It has been stated that the people are motivated for

gaining certain level of needs along with which certain needs take precedence over others. The

most basic need of any person is the physical survival and it is the major element that motivates

the behaviour of a person ` (Lavergne & Pelletier, 2016).

Figure 1: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

The above figure is providing the five stage model, which can be categorised into deficiency

needs and growth needs. The initial levels are referred to as the deficiency needs and the top

most level is referred to as the growth needs. The deficiency needs are considered for motivating

people when they are unfulfilled. The need for fulfilment of such needs becomes stronger with

the increase in the duration of their denial. It is important for a person to satisfy the lower level
 8

of the deficit needs before progressing on the fulfilment of the growth needs of higher level.

When the deficit need is being satisfied, it is expected to diminish (Tampu, 2015).

2.5.2 Hertzberg's Two-Factor Theory

The two factor theory of Hertzberg is referred to as the motivation-hygiene theory, which

provides that there are certain levels of factors in the organisation causing job satisfaction and a

different set of factors leading to dissatisfaction. Yusoff, et al (2013) highlighted that it is a non-

linear relationship involving the factors causing satisfaction not negating the ones causing

dissatisfaction and the one not leading to the increase with the decline of the other factor. The

extrinsic motivators are intended to reflect basic needs of a person with the kinds being identified

in the existence of the category of needs in the lower levels of the Maslows hierarch of needs.

These motivators include the salary, security of job, and fringes (Yusoff, et al., 2013). Smith &

Shields (2013) argued that management of organisation are required to realise that the absence of

the extrinsic motivators are expected to reflect the dissatisfaction and not motivating behaviour

among the employees. On the other hand, the intrinsic motivators are intended to reflect the

emotional needs with the identified needs related to the categories of needs in the higher level of

the Maslows hierarchy of needs. These motivators include the challenging work and growth

potential. Managers are required to recognise the needs being beyond the traditional scope of the

providence of the organisation as they are important in the empowerment of the strong

performance of team and a person (Smith & Shields, 2013).

2.6 Advantages of Training for Employees

It is noted that staff training improves the skills of workers and reinforces their competitive edge.

However, the appropriate training will increase the individual characters and professional

capabilities. Moreover, not only the employees management and association would benefit from
 9

staff training, clients and visitors would also get sufficient benefit due to the received quality of

services. There are certain advantages that an organisation gets from staff training. Some of the

core advantages of staff training are discussed below:

2.6.1 Increase Job Satisfaction and Recognition

According to Wong & Ladkin (2008), job satisfaction and recognition would be increased with

the help of effective staff training which ultimately contribute towards the attainment of

organisational goals and targets. Moreover, it supports the staff to comprehend their work viably

and also encourage what they do by comprehending the work.

2.6.2 Improve Self Confidence

It is noted that after the systemised training, employees will comprehend what important part

their works play, and with the understanding, information and involvements attained all the way

through the training, they will be more self-confident with their work, so that better facilities will

be delivered (Choi & Dickson, 2009).

2.6.3 Encourage Employee Closer to Personal Goals

It is found that workers gain not merely the professional understanding and skills throughout

training but also extend their selections on setting career objectives. Moreover, the chances to get

to know other places, raises the probabilities of advancements in the meantime (Nasution &

Mavondo, 2008).

2.7 Advantages of Training for Management

It is noted that there are numerous advantages an organisation can get by providing training to

their employees. Moreover, it is evaluated that most of the businesses particularly the service

providing businesses like hotels are quite keen to provide all possible resources or assistance
 10

their employees in terms of adequate training which ultimately help the firm to attain their stated

goals and objectives in a consistent manner (Barron, 2008; Choi & Dickson, 2009; Lee & Way,

2010). However, some of the possible advantages a hotel business gets by providing training to

their employees are discussed below:

2.7.1 Support in Assessing Employee Performance

It is found that employees who are liable for training will find out those workers throughout the

training process, who are fast learners and have better understanding and abilities, so that diverse

techniques of training might be picked, in order to get better outcomes (Patiar & Mia, 2009).

2.7.2 Assist in Sustaining System and Standard

Wong & Chan (2010) stated that inside the training, workers will be acquainted with the rules

and regulations of the hotel, organised with the strategies and approaches; therefore the hotel

might endure its system and standards with the support of adequate training (Pereira-Moliner, et

al., 2012; Arasli & Tumer, 2008).

2.7.3 Help to Promote Employees

It is noticed that through training the core strength and abilities of employees will be easily

recognised by expert trainers, or some workers are more appropriate for other places, hotels

might regulate and make appropriate utilisation of workers skills and knowledge (Chalkiti &

Sigala, 2010; Bulut & Culha, 2010).

2.8 Advantages of Training for Organisations

2.8.1 Leads to Enhance Profitability

Schmallegger & Carson (2008) stated that the skilled employees always contribute massively

towards the attainment of organisational goals and targets in a consistent manner. For that
 11

reason, it is imperative from the prospect of higher officials of hotels to provide proper training

for the reason that it would ultimately increase the overall profitability of a business (Ladhari,

2009; Barron, 2008).

2.8.2 Supports in Organisational Development

According to Nasution & Mavondo (2008), most of the hotels require developing their

technologies and methods of working in order to remain competitive and staff training

guarantees the effectiveness for the reason that it will bring high quality, efficiency and long

lasting customers to the hotels (Kalargyrou & Woods, 2011; Meckel, et al., 2008; Grady &

Ohlin, 2009).

2.8.3 Employees are properly prepared

When organisations specifically from the hotel industry train their employees properly, they

adapt the organisation while understanding it. They are possibly able to complete their daily

tasks and duties along with which their performance is found to be sufficient as compared to the

seasoned employees. The employees being trained appropriately cannot become frustrated at

their ability of performing at the higher levels while leading to seek job opportunities without

settling for the low level or medium level of performance.

2.9 Training of Employees in F&B Department of Hotel Industry

The department of Food and Beverage within the hotels of hospitality industry are involved in

different elements of the services. The training and development of employees enable the

employees to behave appropriately with the needs of consumers. Different hotels are known for

not considering the training of their employees while being unwilling to empower their

employees through the providence of training causing them to leave the organisation (Babakus,
 12

et al., 2008; Yang, 2010). The job roles of the food and beverages departments of a hotel require

sufficient skills or else the risk can be increased in rendering the consumers. Tavitiyaman et al

(2011) argued that the employees in the hotels do not receive the adequate training as well as

development influencing the satisfaction and performance of employees leading to the results in

turnover of employees as well as threat to the quality standards. One of the significant challenges

being experienced in the food and beverage department is the shortage of skills in employees.

The hotel industry reflects the minimum level of training for the employees of food and beverage

departments. The research of Teng et al (2012) provided that training in the hotel industry

reflects more than twenty per cent of this industry with the training plan, whereas, only eighteen

per cent receives the training budget.

The hotel industry is considerably known for the inappropriate reputation of training as

management do not consider empowering for their employees through their training practices if

they make appropriate decisions to leave. It further leads to inadequate level of performance of

employees. However, the employees are not found to be trained due to which they suffer for their

inadequate and inappropriate performance. Ladhari (2009) examined that training and

development practices influence the satisfaction and commitment of employees leading to the

influence on the employee retention. However, training is considered as the necessity in

organisations from different industries specifically the hotel industry. In the absence of the

training practices, the employees of the hotel industry do not possess a firm hold on their roles

and responsibilities. The hotel organisations have insufficient training programs for not

sustaining the business model in the working condition because the organisation is more likely to

being full of employees with slight idea of the ways through which they can complete their tasks.
 13

Following are some of the negative effects due to the lack of training in organisations (Choi &

Dickson, 2009; Poulston, 2008; gaard, et al., 2008).

Chapter Three: Research Methodology

3.1 Research Approach

The considered research study is using the inductive or the qualitative research approach other

than the deductive approach. The inductive approach is referred to as the beneficial approach in

generating the new theoretical aspects to be emerged from the collected information. The reason

behind the selection of inductive approach to conduct the study is the awareness of known

premises of the entire study for generating the conclusions. The methods used for collecting the

data for this study can enable the researcher to explore the process while identifying the

appropriate themes along with the patterns and creating the conceptual framework (Blessing &

Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013; Taylor, et al., 2015). The selected approach for conducting

the research can allow the significant flexibility to the researcher as compared to the quantitative

approach. The use of the inductive approach for the study under consideration can enable the

researcher to narrow the scope of the study while using the research questions in most efficient

manner. The inductive approach is also meant to enable the researcher of the study to examine

the training in F&B department across the 4 star hotels in Manchester. This approach is also

enabling the researcher to evaluate the influence of the training on the performance of staff and

their motivation (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Y.k.singh, 2010; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006).

3.2 Research Design

The selected design for conducting the considered study is descriptive research design. This

design can be referred to as the statement of affairs due to their presence with the researcher

without having any control over the variable. The descriptive research can be featured as the

attempt to determine or identify the analytical research attempting to know the origins of the

aspects. The descriptive research for this study is aimed to enable the researcher to highlight the
 15

current issues through the process of collecting information. It further enables the description of

the situation completely as compared to the possible employment of this method (Glaser &

Strauss, 2009; Taylor, et al., 2015; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009). The descriptive studies are

used for describing different aspects of the entire process. This selected design can be used for

describing different features and behaviours of the sample population. The important aspect of

the descriptive research for the considered study is comparison of the previous studies while

using different aspects such as interviews to conduct the descriptive study. There can be three

main purposes of the descriptive study for the researcher of this study and they can be reflected

as the describing findings of the study, explaining the findings of the study, and validating the

findings of the study. It is important for the researcher to know that the descriptive studies are

associated with the observational studies without being limited to the observations, case studies,

and interviews found in the data collection strategy (Khan, 2011; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009;

Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Taylor, et al., 2015).

3.3 Research Strategy

The selected strategy for this considered study is the interview seeking to describe the meanings

of the themes in the aspects of the study. The major task of the interviews understands the

meaning of responses obtained from the respondents. It is important to know that the interview

seek the covering of factual and meaningful information, which is not easy to obtain. The

interviews are useful to obtain the story behind the information around the topic on the basis of

the experiences of the participants. The interviewer can pursue the comprehensive information

on the topic under consideration and the interviews can be useful in terms of further

investigations on the responses (Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009;

Taylor, et al., 2015; Y.k.singh, 2010). It is important to note that the interviews are based on the
 16

responses obtained from the respondents as they are more personal form of the research as

compared to the questionnaires. It is so because the researcher of the considered study is

intended to work directly with the respondents having the opportunity of probing further

questions. The researcher is aware of the fact that the interviews are time consuming with the

requirement of intensive resources (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009;

Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006). The interviewer is considered as the part of the instrument for

which interviewer is required to have appropriate training in responding to the contingency. The

researcher of the study under consideration can have the opportunity to control the quality of the

results on the basis of his knowledge and awareness. It is also important to organise the

interviewing process in detail before the initiation of the formal study (Khan, 2011; Scruggs &

Mastropieri, 2006; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Taylor, et al., 2015).

3.4 Data Collection Methods

Two types of data collection methods are there which are primary and secondary. In this study,

both primary and secondary data are collected by the researcher to evaluate the research aim and

objectives. For the purpose of gathering secondary data, the researcher is utilising many of the

precedent studies that are related to the training and employee performance or motivation in the

hospitality industry to present a literature review (Y.k.singh, 2010; Blessing & Chakrabarti,

2009; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Taylor, et al., 2015). The secondary data is gathered from

searching studies from different platforms such as Google Scholar, Jstor, EBSCOhost, Yahoo,

Bingo, and others. The literature or secondary data is also arranged in the form of themes

providing the thematic aspects of the proposed topic. The interview questionnaires are prepared

on the basis of the identified themes of the study. Moreover, primary data are collected by

conducting interview sessions from the employees of F&B department of selected 4-star hotels
 17

in Manchester. It comprises of three open-ended questions related to the proposed research study

from which one questionnaire is revolving around training, the second questionnaire is revolving

around performance and the third questionnaire is revolving around the motivation. The

interviews are conducted from twenty to sixty people working in the F&B department of selected

4 star hotels in Manchester. The hotels that are used to gather primary information are Hotel

Football Old Trafford, Macdonald Manchester Hotel & Spa, and Great John Street Hotel. The

researcher is intended to conduct the face to face interviews from the selected or potential

participants and provide them the in-depth information about the considered study (Scruggs &

Mastropieri, 2006; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013; Taylor, et al., 2015).

3.5 Sampling Strategy

The selected strategy for sampling of the considered study is random sampling method, which is

used in the situation of reviewing the comprehensive information. The important element of

random sampling is the opportunity of equal probability of being selected for participation in the

study (Creswell, 2013; Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Y.k.singh, 2010).

The use of the random sampling in the considered study is protecting against any sort of biasness

in the process of sampling while helping in obtaining the representative sample. The random

samples are being assigned with every number of unit in the population. For this considered

study, the researcher has selected four major hotels of Manchester and they are Hotel Football

Old Trafford, Macdonald Manchester Hotel & Spa, and Great John Street Hotel. The sample size

selected for this considered study is twenty six employees from the selected hotels (Scruggs &

Mastropieri, 2006; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013; Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Khan,

2011).
 18

3.6 Data Analysis Methods

In this proposed study, the primary data is analysed by using qualitative data analysis technique

(Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006). Under

this analysis technique, the researcher is using content analysis in order to assess the responses

from the context of the considered research. In order to present findings, proper themes related to

the formulated aim and objectives are given to clear the perspective of the individuals (Scruggs

& Mastropieri, 2006; Khan, 2011; Taylor, et al., 2015).

3.7 Ethical Considerations

There are various key expressions that portray the arrangement of ethical considerations that the

contemporary social and restorative research foundation have made to attempt to ensure better

the privileges of their participants. The standard of voluntary participation requires that

individuals not be pressured into participation in research. This is particularly pertinent where

specialists had already depended on gatherings of people' for their subjects - detainment

facilities, colleges, and spots that way (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009;

Creswell, 2013; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006). Firmly identified with the idea of intentional

cooperation is the prerequisite of educated assent. Basically, this implies planned research

members must be completely educated about the systems and dangers required in research and

should give their agreement to take part. Ethical considerations additionally require that

researchers not place members in a circumstance where they may be at danger of damage

subsequently of their support. Harm can be characterized as both physical and mental (Glaser &

Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006;

Taylor, et al., 2015). There are two benchmarks that are connected keeping in mind the end goal

to help secure the protection of research members. All exploration ensures the members
 19

confidentiality - they are guaranteed that recognizing data would not be made accessible to any

individual who is not straightforwardly included in the study under consideration. The stricter

standard is the guideline of anonymity which basically implies that the member will stay

unknown all through the study - even to the specialists themselves. Plainly, the anonymity

standard is a more grounded assurance of protection, however it is once in a while hard to finish,

particularly in circumstances where members must be measured at different time focuses (e.g., a

pre-post examine) (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013;

Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Taylor, et al., 2015). Progressively, analysts have needed to

manage the ethical standard of a man's entitlement to benefit. Great research practice regularly

requires the utilization of a no-treatment control bunch - a gathering of participants who do not

get the treatment or program that is being examined. In any case, when that treatment or program

may have gainful impacts, people appointed to the no-treatment control may feel their rights to

equivalent access to administrations are being abridged. Notwithstanding when clear ethical

principles and standards exist, there will be times when the need to do precise research keeps

running up against the privileges of potential members (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing &

Chakrabarti, 2009; Creswell, 2013; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Taylor, et al., 2015). No

arrangement of benchmarks can envision each moral situation. Besides, there should be a method

that guarantees that researchers will consider all pertinent moral issues in defining research

plans. To address such needs most foundations and associations have detailed an Institutional

Review Board (IRB), a board of people who audits give recommendations regarding moral

ramifications and chooses whether extra moves should be made to guarantee the wellbeing and

privileges of members. By looking into recommendations for research, IRBs additionally help to

ensure both the association and the analyst against potential lawful ramifications of fail to
 20

address critical ethical issues of participants (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Blessing & Chakrabarti,

2009; Creswell, 2013; Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2006; Taylor, et al., 2015).
