Mapping Hospitality and Tourism Internship Research: A Bibliometric and Integrative Review
By Christopher Mensah
This paper applies bibliometric and integrative review approaches to examine the pattern of growth, conceptual and social structure of hospitality and tourism internship research using 167 articles retrieved from Scopus database published between 1986 and 2020. The contribution of journals, scholars, institutions, and countries in the production of hospitality and tourism internship research was assessed. Descriptive statistics of the bibliographic data was conducted using Bibliometrix tool whiles VOSviewer software was used for network analysis. Findings indicate that hospitality and tourism internship research is about three decades old however, the knowledge domain remains underdeveloped. Busby G, University of Queensland and the USA are the most productive author, institution and country, respectively in hospitality and internship research. Research efforts have focused on internships and students' attitudes toward hospitality work, benefits of internships to students, industry and institutions, and internship satisfaction. There has been less international collaboration in the knowledge domain.
Faculty Bullying Tendencies: Evidence from a Ghanaian Technical University
By Christopher Mensha
Bullying in basic and secondary schools has received considerable research attention; empirical investigation of the phenomenon among university students has, however, been overlooked. There is a paucity of such studies in African universities. This study examined the prevalence and forms of bullying in a Ghanaian technical university, as well as victims' characteristics. Four hundred and eighty-eight students completed self-administered questionnaires. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The prevalence of bullying was high. Verbal and sexual harassment were commonly reported. Vulnerability to bullying was high among female students. This study adds to the scanty literature on the phenomenon in university settings. University administrators must confront bullying by instituting and subjecting faculty to disciplinary procedures and must punish culprits to create a congenial and non-threatening environment for academic work in universities.
