“…The interviews were recorded, and the transcripts of each record were created and, based on them, the authors have processed and analyzed the collected information. The pillars that were the base of the interview guide are: nominating indicators of sustainable development [51,61,69,75,[96][97][98][99] and their implication in the process of planning and adopting decision policies [100]. The semi-structured in-depth interview was undertaken at the accommodation units' headquarters between January and May 2017.…”

Abstract:The article aims to identify the degree to which tourism managers who work in Romania in the area of the Carpathian Mountains have implemented sustainable development practices. It also assesses the quantification of their availability to be informed and to apply voluntary tools of sustainable development. Qualitative research based on the method of semi-structured in-depth interviews was conducted, with 34 managers who work in the accommodation units in the Romanian Carpathians. Results show that most managers are concerned with issues linked to sustainable evolution of the accommodation unit they manage. The researchers have noticed a low interest in sustainable evolution negatively correlated with the comfort level of the accommodation unit and competitiveness. Based on these results the authors recommend the adoption of measures that may allow sustainable development, and for the Romanian authorities to encourage the increase in the number of tourism units that can use sustainable management systems. This can be done through accessible rules, development of networks that may offer information about good practices and codes of conduct, as well as the possibility to participate in exchange programs.

“…Other studies have focused on the determinants of resource consumption that influence hotels' environmental conduct, such as laundry load for water use (Deng and Burnett, 2002), air temperature for energy use (Chan and Mak, 2004), and occupancy rate for waste produced (Chan and Wong, 2006). In addition, some scholars focused on the development of environmental management systems' indicators that can be used by hotels for the evaluation of environmental performance (Gössling, 2015;Hsiao et al, 2014), while others introduced new environmental management approaches for hotels and resorts (Kasim et al, 2014;Rutty et al, 2014).…”

Typically, a teacher with more positive work values is more capable of handling the teaching jobs. He/she holds a more optimistic attitude toward the educational tasks and devotes more into teaching innovations. Similarly, during the non-formal learning process, a venue worker is analogous to a teacher for school education, his/her job involvement or job burnout conditions also affect the education within a venue. It is thus necessary to investigate the job involvement or job burnout conditions of venue workers. In order to inspect the influence vocational education and work values of venue workers on their job involvement and burnout conditions, 573 venue workers were selected in this study for the investigation by vocational education questionnaire, work values questionnaire, job involvement questionnaire, and job burnout questionnaire. The results are described as follows. 1. Vocational education have a significantly positive influence on job involvement. 2. Vocational education have a significantly positive influence on job burnout. 3. Work values have a significantly positive influence on job involvement. 4. Work values have a significantly positive influence on job burnout. Based on these results, we proposed recommendations accordingly so that the vocational education can bring its effects to the maximum degree and the off-campus studies for the public can be greatly enhanced.
