Many countries have recently seen rapid growth in tourism which is perceived as an engine for economic growth and social development. On the other hand, many countries have been faced with problems of att racti ng and retaining well-qualifi ed employees, as many graduates do not enter the tourism industry on graduati on. This study aims to determine the atti tudes of Tourism and Hospitality (T&H) students towards the problem of seasonality in tourism employment and how it relates to students' employment aspirati ons. The research was conducted among students of higher educati onal insti tuti ons (HEI) located in Northern Poland (Southern Balti c Sea Region). A survey instrument was applied and 171 usable questi onnaires were retrieved and analyzed in this study. Students' percepti ons of tourism seasonality seem to be more positi ve than negati ve and it may relate to their working intenti ons on graduati on. Additi onally, students who declared their seasonal working experience referred to tourism seasonality more positi vely. This study makes useful contributi ons to the existi ng knowledge and management literature by showing that the ability to identi fy negati ve aspects of future career development, such as tourism seasonality, and the ability to manage it eff ecti vely, may have a positi ve impact on employment percepti on in the view of a future workforce.

Given the recent advances in technology, knowledge-based products have become increasingly prevalent. Many companies offer interdisciplinary resources for incumbent learners to break through chronological and geographical constraints. Therefore, it is important to investigate the factors that motivate learners to pay for knowledge-based products. The purpose of this research was to identify the relevant factors that contribute to purchasing intentions and to clarify the reasons why people purchase knowledge-based products. This study involved 406 valid participants over 20 years of age with knowledge purchase experience. The results demonstrated that incumbent learners’ need for affiliation has a positive effect on involvement, and that involvement has a significant positive impact on knowledge purchase intentions. The key factor influencing learners to pay for knowledge-based products is their involvement in learning. Information anxiety interferes with the relationship between involvement and knowledge purchase intentions. However, no linear relationship was found between cognitive styles and involvement. Field-dependent learners show greater involvement and also information anxiety than field-independent learners. The research offers suggestions for practical use and future research from the perspective of knowledge-product marketing.
