The current research aims to study the concept of sharing economy in the context of peer-to-peer accommodation in Egypt through Airbnb platform and to determine the factors which motivate customers to choose this intended service. The research applied a descriptive quantitative approach. A multiple-frame non-random sampling approach was deemed necessary. Data were collected via an online survey using anonymous link and 353 valid responses from Airbnb` s adult users.Results indicated the influence of six factors that motivate customers to choose peer-topeer accommodation; economic benefits, home benefits, social benefits, local authenticity, novelty, and sharing economy ethos. Moreover, customers` attitude was significantly related to behavioral intentions and perceived value proved to be a mediator between motivating factors and customers` attitude towards peer-to-peer accommodation. Customers` attitude also came out to be a mediator between the motivating factors and behavioral intentions. Derived from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) which is based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the current research determined only six motivating factors for participating in peer-to-peer accommodation. Future researches may investigate other factors. The research provides implications for peer-to-peer accommodation providers and for hotel marketers.
This study aimed at examining the mediating role of job burnout in the effect of organizational politics perception on turnover intention among employees of city center hotels in Egypt. The mixed-mode survey administration, combining paper and web-based self-administrated questionnaires, was used to collect the required data. The total number of collected questionnaires was 153, however only 140 of them were valid for the statistical analysis. The results revealed that organizational politics perception has a significant positive effect on both turnover intention and job burnout.

Furthermore, the results pointed out that job burnout partially mediates the effect of organizational politics perception on turnover intention. Some managerial implications were presented regarding organizational politics, turnover and job burnout that could help hospitality practitioners minimizing such issues in their organizations.
