Abstract

The resilience of hotel employees during crises (HERC) is not sufficiently research and there is no existing measurement scale for it. This research applied a mixed-method approach to conceptualize HERC, validate the HERC dimensions, and develop a measurement scale. A first survey was conducted online with 69 employees from upscale hotels. A five-factor HERC emerged consisting of resistance, adaptability, cooperation, restoration, and thriving. A second study generated the initial measurement items for HERC. These items were refined based on an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a third study using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) verified the factors from the second study. A five-factor model of employee resilience and its measurement scale was proposed, providing a foundation for establishing hotel crisis response strategies.
