“…This, he argues, is a result of the absence of an adequate legal regulation of the employment relationship requiring employers at least to comply with basic standards. In line with other commentators (Guest 1989;Purcell, 1993), Sisson also notes that, more generally, there exist a number of pressures on UK managers to pursue short-term approaches, which inhibit their ability to develop HRM-style approaches. From these general findings what then can we infer about developments in the hotel industry?…”
