“…With the downturn in the economy and the tourism, events, and hospitality sectors being enormously hit by the pandemic, the majority of the internships since March of 2020 have been unpaid experiences. Although unpaid status may influence internship experience and satisfaction (Rogers et al, 2021), it is not expected to find a significant difference in the impact of employability between paid and volunteer internship experiences (Saltikoff, 2017).…”

This study explored virtual internship practices and the adaptation to changes brought by the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis by interviewing a small group of interns and site supervisors to understand how virtual internships were practiced in the wake of COVID-19. The findings of the study provided several insights into virtual internships. Overall, just like the conventional fieldwork, well-planned and designed virtual internships could be an empowering learning experience that allows students to capitalize on the practical strengths while applying classroom learning experiences to actual management situations. The study also discussed the advantages and challenges of virtual internships perceived by the student interns. The implications of the study and suggestions for future research were addressed.

“…Since unpaid internship/co-op(s) would generally appear as college credit, i.e., a 15-week 3581 course, it may not appear as "credible" to a potential employer versus a longer duration paid internship (Lei & Yin, 2019). Rogers, Miller, Flinchbaugh, Giddarie and Barker (2021) have argued that unpaid internships have less job structure, including lower task-related and knowledge-related job characteristics, and lower social-related work characteristics than paid internships. The perceived credibility of unpaid internships/co-ops versus paid internships to employers, for example in terms of quality of work-related experience, is a topic for future research.…”

This study investigated the relationships of paid and unpaid internships to anticipated employment outcomes for graduating college business students. It also investigated the self-reported source(s) by which these students had obtained their internship(s). In May of 2020, 445 graduating business undergraduates filled out an online survey, for which there was complete data for 405 students. Although most of the internships were pre-pandemic, the anticipated employment outcomes by graduation were in the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Three dichotomous response anticipated employment outcomes were measured: securing a full-time job; securing a full-time job that consistent with one’s major; and being self- employed. Results were that students with at least one paid internship were more likely to anticipate securing a full-time job and securing a full-time job consistent with their major versus students without a paid internship. In addition, students with at least one paid internship were less likely to see themselves being self-employed versus students without a paid internship. However, there were no relationships for students having at least one unpaid internship, versus no unpaid internship, to these anticipated full-time employment outcomes. Students with at least one unpaid internship were more likely to see themselves being self-employed by graduation versus students without an unpaid internship. Surprisingly, the general source of “on my own” was the dominant method reported by students for obtaining both paid and unpaid internships. These results are further discussed, and study limitations noted.

“…The higher level of spirituality directs interest to other aspects resulting from the execution of the job (Sauer, Wilson & Mantovan, 2019). Examples of this behavior are interns, who often do not earn a salary, but seek to learn a trade (Rogers et al, 2019); or volunteers, whose main reward is helping others, often taking on financial costs to perform the work.…”

The spirituality of the human being is a subject discussed since ancient times. Until today, no civilization was finding that did not have some kind of developed religion and spirituality. Spirituality is finding in many ways and in many places, including in the workplace. The objective of this research was to verify whether workplace spirituality influences job satisfaction of public sector employees. A survey based on a model created from the scales of workplace spirituality (Liu & Robertson, 2011) and job satisfaction (Siqueira, 2008) was conducted in a Brazilian public organization. Data analysis was done with SEM-CB. The results validate the model for predicting the influence of workplace spirituality on job satisfaction. We improved the model by providing context and by endorsing the idea that managers are able to improve the satisfaction of their work force, especially those working in the public sector, to deliver better services to citizens.
