The ecosystem of disability inclusion in hospitality and tourism organisations: an integrative review and research agenda
这篇综述梳理了2001至2023年间酒店与旅游领域关于残障包容的101篇实证研究,发现现有文献过度关注顾客残障,而忽视员工残障就业,呼吁加强相关实证研究以推动包容性工作环境。
Purpose This paper reviews the literature on disability inclusion (DI) in supply and demand chains of hospitality and tourism (H&T) organisations. The purpose of this study is to assess disability support and interventions within H&T organisations. Through the assessment, we identified gaps to recommend H&T scholars’ and practitioners’ knowledge of DI from new perspectives. Design/methodology/approach An integrative review was conducted to examine the published evidence on DI in H&T organisations. This study used high-ranking H&T journals from the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2001 and 2023. In total, 101 empirical papers met the criteria for the review analysis. Findings DI focuses heavily on customer disabilities, with scant research on DI in H&T employment. The review emphasises the critical need for empirical research into the varied disability employment ecosystem within H&T organisations, focusing on social integration for inclusive workplaces. Originality/value This study contributes to the H&T literature, which previously overlooked the disability context in diversity. The research offers strategies for creating inclusive environments in the H&T industry for disabled consumers and producers.
