“…Human intellectual capital as well as gender has a sufficient influence on remuneration. It is well-known practice of different pay for the same work or so-called "gender pay gap" (Erosa et al 2016, Grybaite 2006, Guimarães and Silva 2016. Such and some other factors (including the given in Table 1), may cause the significant inconsistencies in remuneration, and as a consequence, it may diminish capabilities of further human capital development.…”

This paper argues that basing on existing theoretical studies of human capital factors fuzzy logic method shall be applied in in identifying their impact upon the interest on human capital use (wages). The suggested approach allows determining the factors impossible to describe through quantitative indicators, i.e. gender, education level, experience. Unlike traditional approaches, such as ranked assessments or investment cost indicators in the formation of certain human capital components, the use of the proposed methodology for analysing the link between human capital factors and remuneration allows applying real characteristics of the human capital of employees. Appropriate assessment can be the basis of modelling and correction of relations in determining wages and suitable decision-making regarding the development and changes in the structure of the human capital of the company.

“…Because our main objective is to quantify gaps or differences and distinguish between explained (by the model) and unexplained differences, the OB decomposition is used. This decomposition is well known in labour and discrimination literature and has been applied in tourism by Casado‐Díaz and Simón (), Ferreira Freire Guimaraes and Silva (), Muñoz‐Bullón () and Santos and Varejao () in their analyses of gaps and discrimination in the labour market in tourism, for example the gap between male and female pay parity in the tourism industry. Raya () also used it to analyse the value and role of brand between tourism destinations.…”

This article contributes to extant knowledge by analysing differences in the attitudes towards tourism of residents living in several micro‐destinations (cities) within a larger tourism destination and by using a new approach, the Oaxaca‐Blinder decomposition. Results show that a significant part of the gap in attitudes among cities is explained by residents' perceived tourism impacts; the relevance of each of them in generating gaps is also identified and quantified. However, there is also a significant community adjustment to tourism impacts source of gap, different among cities.

“…In terms of wage differentials in the tourism and hospitality sectors, making use of different sources, both at a country or region level, studies have focused on various aspects, among others: gender discrimination (Ferreira Freire Guimarães & Silva, 2016;Muñoz-Bullón, 2009;Santos & Varejão, 2007); the comparison between wages in hospitality and other private services (Campos-Soria, García-Pozo, Sánchez-Ollero, & Benavides-Chicón, 2011), and; the effects of education on wages (García-Pozo, Campos-Soria, & Sánchez-Ollero, 2012;Lillo-Bañuls & Casado-Díaz, 2011). Most of these studies, in applying the Oaxaca-Blinder methodology, comply with the previously presented theoretical premises.…”

This study aims to analyse the wage differentials between the Brazilian tourism and non-tourism service sectors. The statistics originate from micro-data for the year of 2012, published by the National Household Sample Survey, and released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Using an econometric model, based on an updated version of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, it was possible to measure wage differentials between workers in both sectors. We report that returns in the non-tourism sector were higher than that of the tourism sector, and also conclude that in the Brazilian service sector, the wage gap is derived from differences in worker characteristics, to the detriment of the tourism industry. Moreover, variables such as schooling and age proved to have weight for the explanation of the wage differential, the latter being taken as a proxy of experience in the labour market.
