trust in supervisor, job-embeddedness and turnover intentions in hospitality industry.

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of job embeddedness in mediating the relationship
between high-performance work practices, supervisor confidence, and frontline employee
turnover intentions in the hospitality industry. The information was gathered from 343 frontline
workers employed in Thailand's four and five-star hotels. The findings indicate that job
embeddedness completely mediates the impact of high-performance work practices and
supervisor confidence on turnover intentions, and that turnover intention influences real voluntary
turnover positively. The study confirms that high-performance work habits and supervisor
confidence impact turnover intentions. This study adds to the increasing body of research on the
theoretical interpretation of the effects of supervisory confidence in the hospitality industry, as
well as the growing body of research on frontline employee turnover intentions.

The aim of this editorial is to clarify the difference between case reports and case studies. Case
reports are a common way of health care to share incidents or attempts to intervene with single
patients that have previously unreported characteristics. Case study analysis, as a qualitative
, approach, is much more nuanced than a traditional case report, and it often combines multiple
sources of data combined in novel ways. The breadth and richness of the case study summary
aids readers in comprehending the case and determining if the results are relevant outside of
that context.

The aim of this study is to find out how hotel workers feel about how human resource
management (HRM) activities affect their intentions to leave. The data for this empirical study
were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 15 employees who had
experience of working in various hotels in Macau, China. The results of this study show that,
while employee-oriented human resource policies and practices are preferred, hotel workers place
a higher emphasis on how the HR department manages and implements those policies. According
to the findings, HR departments may promote employee participation in hotels by addressing
employees' needs, especially those related to resolving grievances and managing relationships
with coworkers, as well as providing opportunities for employees' family members to participate
in the organization's activities and use its facilities. Using qualitative approaches, this study
investigates hotel employees' perspectives on the relationship between HRM activities and
employee turnover intentions.

In the profession's code of ethics, human integrity is a central concept. It requires that clients be
handled with dignity. However, different people have different ideas about what integrity is and
what it entails for social workers in their attempts to foster respect. This article examines various
definitions of dignity and their consequences for practice. It also looks at how people think
about indignity and what it means for not handling clients in an undignified way. Finally, the
, paper recognizes dignity as the cornerstone of human rights, as well as some practical
consequences. The aim of this article is to improve social workers' understandings of this
contentious term and, as a result, increase their awareness of how it can inform their morally
significant work if they use it carefully.

The article discusses constructivist grounded theory. The main topics discussed include the
following: 1) what is grounded theory? 2) what does grounded theory do? 3) why is grounded
theory important? and 4) how does grounded theory compare with other methods?

The use of theory in science is a hot topic in the field of knowledge development. Conceptual
structure, theoretical framework, paradigm, and epistemology have been used to describe several
approaches to qualitative research methods. While these methods are useful, the authors
summarize and distill them to support the argument that a balanced and based application of the
theoretical framework will help qualitative research. The authors' project expands on the claims
that epistemology and methodological rigor are critical by arguing that theory influences almost
every aspect of the research. They include an evaluative quadrant for evaluating the effective use
of theory in qualitative research as well as a diagram of a qualitative project that highlights the
central position of a theoretical context in the article.
