Participación de la equidad de género en los puestos directivos de la Industria Hotelera : caso de estudio ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The hotel industry worldwide has had an important development and growth as an income generating force. In Guayaquil, this industry has a great impact within the tourist and economic market of the country. Due to the evolution of this sector, the selection of qualified and trained personnel to provide quality service has been meticulously increased. However, this research maintains that within these companies there is still an inequality in relation to gender in management positions. To do this, information was collected through a survey model and protocol of questions to hotel workers, mainly those responsible for Human Resources, and an analysis of the comments issued by the workers of these companies, which were included in the integral analysis of the project. As relevant results of segmented hotels according to the number of rooms they have, the current situation of participation by gender in management and management positions is shown, in the same way, internal and external factors that influence this, evidencing in this way that gender equity has not been fully developed in the city´s hotel companies.
