Introduction
Unemployment is the involuntary state of being unemployed or situation at which a person of working age searching for a job is unable to find work but would like to be in full time employment. It can also be caused by someone being laid off, fired or quits. This is the most damaging individual experience since the unemployed suffer a reduction of income, loss of identity, self esteem and social circumstances surrounding unemployed workers.
Unemployment has been a root cause of stress in student’s life. Most of them fear the responsibility of searching for a job they may never get and opt to continue with their studies instead. This paper is intended to explore the different types of unemployment and how they impact on the society we have to define Unemployment (Johada, 2002).
According to (Sardoni, 2011), Impact of unemployment depends on variety of factors lets mention the different types of unemployment. Demand deficiency/ Cyclical unemployment: where it occurs due to recession, inflation or sudden crash of economies, Structural Unemployment due to mismatch of skills as a result of advanced technologies and Classical unemployment occurs when wages are kept above equilibrium workers choose not to take and voluntary unemployment that occurs when workers choose not to take job at going wage rates.
Causes of unemployment
The leading cause of unemployment is when the total output declines, unemployment rises and inflation falls as elaborated in the cyclical unemployment. This is when there is a recession, when the aggregate demand for goods and services decrease and demand for labor decreases. This period countries liquidity is at its lowest hence resulting in unemployment, similarly the company would not be able to expand operations thus number of fresh employments positions that would have been created by the company would also take a hit. Major example is the great recession that occurred between 2008 and 2009 that affected the entire world economy which was considered the world global recession. If cyclical unemployment rate rises it might cause damage to labor force in a country.
Rapid changes in technology: This is because most firms are looking for skills that the unemployed have but cannot find appropriate workers. The need for numerous workforces also diminishes as most companies have limited employees. This is caused by machines and computers that do the whole jobs for them Technological unemployment leads to structural unemployment. This is also caused by lack of skills causing unemployment in certain sectors of economies such as technology industry and creates jobs in others (Petersen & Mortimer, 2006).
Increase in population is the leading cause of unemployment in the economy of most developing states. The growth of population directly encouraged the unemployment by making large addition in labor force. This is impacted in that the rate of job expansion could never match the population growth rate. Overpopulation creates higher competition for finite work opportunities, leaving others to find employment and others to lack.
The other major cause of unemployment is undulating business cycle where the higher the GDP, lower the cyclical unemployment. Unemployment increases during business cycle recessions and decreases during business cycle expansions and well causes decrease during recession on inflation and increase during expansions. This indicates that unemployment, inflation and economic growth tend to change cyclically overtime.
Unemployment affects the economy because it leads to reduction in consumer expenditure due to financial limitations and affect business sector. This will also lead to less profit by the company leading to laying off workers which will eventually lead to more unemployment. The economy also runs on taxes by citizens thus the more unemployment rate the less tax paid to sustain the economy. According to (Stretton, 1999), reduction in wages and salaries lead to decrease in the amount of tax collection on income. This also hinders funds to inject into the economy. Increase in mortgages, instances of bankruptcy and deflation has seen increase in debts by borrowers. This is as a result of unemployment or earning minimal income thus becomes hard to repay debts.
Business or retail industry will be affected due to deflation as it discourages spending, this might lead a business to close, leading to more unemployment. To sum it up a high unemployment rate means to remove more funds from the budget to sustain the majority of unemployed this is the wealth drainage. This reduces economic growth since more funds are drained for unproductive purposes rather than infrastructure development.
Financial hardships: Loss of financial security brings a lot of changes in the lives of family members. This will out rightly affect negatively on families. It has been statistically proven that when financial hardships raise so does the level of tension and conflict between family members. The expenditure done by the family members suddenly reduced due to alters financial capacity. Unemployment increases debts of an individual: The government instinctively raises tax rates because of lesser flow in the economy which encourages debts and borrowing and eventually making it harder to repay debts. Individuals also may push unemployment workers to take jobs that do not befit their skills or allow them to use their talents. This might cause individuals to great depressions and may eventually lead most taking into criminal ways.
Reduced disposable income: This might also lead to lifestyle changes as with less income comes less spending thus change of usual lifestyle to acceptable ways. All major expenditures have to be cut down reducing purchasing ability and adjust the little money with family. Dependency on government welfare programs: Since rent might not be affordable and people change to food stamps and government assistance to sustain themselves.
The great depression of 1929 is an example of how unemployment worsened due to non availability of alternate jobs which led to total dependency on primary sector industries. The unemployment rate was at its highest between 1923 and 1933. The depression had a major effect on the united state economy and unemployment as a result of, cut back business and government expenditures, few alternate job sources and complete collapse of stock market (Stretton, 1999).
The great recession of 2007-2009 caused an increase in unemployment rate mostly witnessed in the construction, real estate, financial services and auto sectors. This caused rise in asset prices and associated increase in economic demand where there was inadequate regulations and oversight. This was mainly due to poor investment decisions’ where many companies invested heavily in risky securities.
Unemployment factors are the main causes of migration and high urban population (Johada, 2002). People will always move to the areas which provide opportunities and to the places which is stress free. Students get depressed after they complete studying and most tend to go on studying since they are scared they will not be employed.
Conclusion
The major causes of unemployment are recession, rapid changes in technology ,inflation, disability, undulating business cycle, attitude towards employers willingness to work employees values and discriminating factors in the place of work just to mention a few. As stated Recession remains the major cause of unemployment in the global economy while overpopulation is a major cause in developing countries. The government can curb this by providing financial assistance to workers till the time of recovery in the economy. The government might also implement framing economies policies, improving labor mobility and extending unemployment insurance benefits can render financial protection to the unemployed (Petersen & Mortimer, 2006).

Understanding Service Quality in the Hospitality Industry
Introduction
In the hospitality industry, service quality has become an important factor in gaining a sustainable competitive edge. With service quality, the customers gain confidence in a hospitality organization, therefore, the organization gets the chance to differentiate itself from the competition (Ali et al. 2021). Hence, service quality is regarded as a vital key concept and an important factor of success in the hospitality industry. A successful organization delivers an impeccable quality service to its customers and it can achieve many benefits such as customer satisfaction establishment, customer loyalty establishment, contribution to company image, and provision of a competitive edge to the organization. Service quality differs from person to person, for instance, employees can demonstrate higher service quality perception that perceived by the customers. Therefore, both employees and managers would not want to identify any form of deficiency in service quality (Ali et al. 2021). This paper will discuss service quality within the hospitality industry including its characteristics and the factors that makes up a good service quality for hospitality organizations.
Service Quality in the Hospitality Industry
According to Al-Ababneh (2017), service quality is the extent to which services offered within an organization fulfil the customers’ expectations or needs. Service quality is conceptualized as the overall customers’ impression regarding the excellence or weakness of the service. Al-Ababneh (2017) states that service quality is “what the customer is willing to pay for” instead of “what is put in by the supplier.” Thus service quality is perceived as the gap between the actual service as perceived and the expected service. Hospitality organizations that invest in offering quality services are destined to meet the customers’ demands and would remain competitive within the industry (Mmutle & Shonhe, 2017). Improved customer service is measured based on the benefits acquired by the business relative to the expected results.
Key Services Characteristics
The key disparity between a service and product lies in the distinctive attributes of services differentiating them from service to service. They are referred to as the 5 ‘Is’
Intangibility
Services do not have physical existence and are thus, intangible in nature (Ali et al. 2021). They are cannot be held, smelt, touched, or tasted. Therefore, the concept of stocking, transportation, or storing is not easy in this scenario.
Inventory/ (Perishability)
Once a service has been used, it cannot be stored, reused, returned, saved, or resold. The moment it has been performed or offered to a person it is difficult for the same service to be delivered to another person (Ali et al. 2021).
Inseparability
This means that services are offered and consumed simultaneously. For instance, when a guest enters a restaurant, the waitress offers her services at the same time the guest receives that same service.
Inconsistency/ (Variability)
Each service performed at a particular time is unique. This is means that the same service performed the previous time will differ from another service give (Ali et al. 2021). Services tend to vary from person to person, place to place, and from time to time.
Involvement
For a service transaction to be successful, both providers and consumers must take part in the process of service transaction.
The service sector does not possess a specific technology or product, rather, it is an experience. This makes it difficult for a marketer to create and provide a bundle of utilities which further attracts and retains customers so as to create a sustainable service delivery system (Naderian & Baharun, 2015). Since services are unique, quality cannot be defined as it is done for products. Instead, the perceived service delivery is taken as a parameter for quality assessment. It includes the person, the process, the environment, and the equipment with which the service is delivered. According to Naderian & Baharun (2015), the economy’s future belong to the sector of services such as the hospitality industry. Therefore, the process of service delivery should be seamless, optimized, and excellent so that the services provided to the consumer is of standard and exceed the customers’ expectations. Some of the factors that must be taken into account to ensure the service quality in the hospitality industry include:
Guest Involvement
The staff members are the primary and vital players in providing quality services within the hospitality sector. Hospitality organizations are advised to use their staff members are experimental tools in order to forecast the service experience before the guests come in (Lee et al. 2016). This would help to identify the gaps as well as the challenges that exists and the hotel will have the chance and time to solve those issues. Every guest and staff should get involved in finding solutions where they should be addressed efficiently and promptly. In any case a guest issues a negative feedback about a specific service, the respective organization can suffer both in the long run and in the short run.
A second way to involve the guests is through various social media platforms. In the Twenty-first Century, everything has become technological. One significant way that hospitality organizations use to interact with customers and potential guests is via social networking sites (Lee et al. 2016). These platforms enable guests to be free to share their feedback on how they thought the services provided were and how the organization can improve. Another way that guests can be involved is through using comment cards. These cards give the guests the chance to share their feedback on how their experience was and if the services received were up to their expectations. The use of reviews and surveys also provides the clients and guests with the opportunity to share their reviews and comment on the services they received whether good or bad (Lee et al. 2016). From there, the management and the staff must take into account all the guests’ feedback both negative and positive. Afterwards, they should work to ensure that the services offered are of high quality.
Service standards to meet the expectations of customers
Desired and sufficient are two satisfaction levels that hospitality organizations use in measuring service quality. Desired satisfaction is that which the guest wishes to get when seeking the services of a hospitality organization (Wang & Tseng, 2019). On the other hand, sufficient satisfaction is one which the guests find as sufficient and it accepted by them. The perception of all guests is that the higher the amount paid for any services in a hospitality facility, the higher the service quality level they receive. With this in mind, hospitality facilities tend to take caution when they set their prices and that is why they avoid exaggeration instances. Hotels and other hospitality facilities should ensure that the services provided are what is expected by every guest (Wang & Tseng, 2019). If the service quality is good, many guests will be loyal to the facility.
Secondly, another way tom ensure that guests are satisfied is by empowering the members of the staff. The staff members are the ones that offer the majority of the services. Therefore, the staff getting the confidence they deserve and being encouraged to dedicate themselves to delivering quality services is an advantage to the facility (Wang & Tseng, 2019). When members of the staff are empowered, negative instances like customer neglect and frustrated guests becomes minimal. Hospitality organizations should give its staff the freedom to decide on the best service delivery and should motivate them (Lee et al. 2016). In turn, this motivation is directed to service providers who deliver quality services to the guests living them satisfied. If the organization fails to empower and motivate its staff members, the latter might become reluctant in their daily activities. This is risky to service quality delivery and customer satisfaction achievement. There would also be an increased possibility of receiving complaints from customers.
Providing Information
Offering quality services to the guests should be accompanied by the provision of adequate information on the part of the hospitality organization. More than 50% of the guests that seek hospitality services are new to the respective facility and lack knowledge about the surrounding and the way things operate (Tabaku & Cerri, 2016). Guests are supposed to get this kind of information from the staff members who are trained and have the right communication skills. With that, it is easy for the staff members to provide adequate information to the guests on whatever the issue they are facing within the facility. It is also important for the management to hire employees from different backgrounds and diversities especially in facilities that accommodate guests from different countries across the globe (Ali et al. 2021). Provision of information and communication would be easier in this case especially when a guest is attended to by a staff member who is familiar with their culture or language.
An important way that hospitality organizations can adapt to information provision to their customers is through the internet and the media alike. This takes several ways in which media sources can be used during advertisement (Ali et al. 2021). In addition, the organization’s website can be used to share every detail and information about the facility and avail it to all the potential guests who would want to know more about the services offered by the hospitality organization. Blogs and social networking sites can be used to pass information to the guests. These mediums reach a lot of people at the same time, so they are considered efficient. Word of mouth is another effective ways to share information to the guests. If the guests are impressed by the quality of service they receive, they may refer their friends and families to the respective hospitality facility.
Ways to ensure a proper service quality management
The satisfaction of guests is what drives the management to ensure they receive quality services in the best way possible (Alauddin et al. 2019). Because customer feedback determines service quality in the hospitality industry, it is important to devise strategies to measure the level of service quality.
Measurement
Through measurement, hospitality organizations can identify the standards of their services and determine any potential issues that relate to the quality of services. Service quality measurement as well as customer satisfaction measurement benefits the respective hospitality business both qualitatively and quantitatively (Yeng, Jusoh, & Ishak, 2018). As a result, customer loyalty is boosted, Return on Investment increased, costs are reduced, and employees are satisfied.
Rating
Thousands of hospitality facilities aim to secure top positions on the ranking indexes in the hospitality industry. Ranking indexes officially certify the service quality levels that a reputable organization offers (Faraj et al. 2021). Travelers who are searching for hotels tend to visit such sites and conduct index analysis to filter out the best facilities and choose their preferred hotel. Getting ranked on the hotel index’s first page gains a facility a competitive advantage. With higher ratings, hotel managers are motivated to not only improve their operations but also to offer optimum service quality level.
Benchmarking
In order to ensure that guests are satisfied, most hospitality organizations adapt to the benchmarking strategy. Benchmarking helps hotel managers to determine their competitors and the strategies to employ to ensure that they stand out (Yeng, Jusoh, & Ishak, 2018). What makes the difference between good performing organization and the poor performing ones is hotel inventiveness. Therefore, to ensure a proper management of service quality, benchmarking should be adopted as a performance tool.
Conclusions
Service quality plays a vital role is most industries and as seen, the hospitality industry benefits a lot from it. Hospitality is an industry that strives to create a high level and better rapport with its customers because service is a unique factor strongly affecting perception. At times, it is considered as the only factor differentiating competitors. The hospitality industry is very competitive so service quality management is vital to gaining customer confidence and competitive edge. In all aspects, hospitality organizations should maintain both technical and functional qualities to enhance reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy, and responsiveness. The relationship between customer satisfaction and service quality helps the management to determine the meaning of service quality dimensions to the organization and the guests alike. The management can also examine the reasons behind negative factors resulting in less satisfied guests and improve the service quality to ensure that the expectations and needs of the guests are met. The service quality factors should be constantly adjusted to enable hotels to provide their guests with the best services and value.

True Incentives, Reward Programs and Organization’s StrategyIntroductionEffective, timely, appropriate, as well as market-driven rewards may be motivational for employees and managers alike. Research and experience in the science of achievement supports the concept that timely and effective feedback motivates morale as well as enhances productivity. Several studies demonstrate that a positive link between the resources accessible to human resources, fairness in compensation, amount of information flow between the workforce and management, workers’ degree of stress as well as exhaustion on the job. What organizations as well as managers obtain is usually commensurate to what they reward. In the event that an organization strongly values something, then the behavior of the employees’ will be motivated by these values.
Pay and PerformanceAccording to Tortorella, Helm, and Holladay (2007), performance management may be regarded as a complete system which entails an organization’s goal alignment, communication, continuous feedback, and education, that leads to the identification of top performers in an organization. This recognition is essential as an organization endeavors to retain its top talent and develop the performance of its entire workforce in an effort to optimistically influence the client’s experience. According to the authors, efficient performance management that involves an inclusive system of training, goal setting, communication, as well as continuing feedback is a practice through which research regularly has imperative implications. However, current research has largely focused on one factor of this subject, namely; the relationship between performance and pay. Tortorella., et.al (2007) makes the several points on the subject of pay and performance:
Pay-for-performance policies are in position in numerous organizations, but just a few organizations indicate the objectives of their performance management scheme, evaluate the realization of goals, or align these goals to the organization’s strategic plan.
Merit pay is a policy that determines conflicting reward amounts in the context of the workers’ performance level.
An increasingly huge number of organizations in diverse industries have scrutinized how rewards, particularly compensation, can be connected to performance. This leads to extensive and ever-increasing development of pay-for-performance factors in performance management programs.
This performance management program is a noteworthy step toward realizing the organization’s ultimate goal of becoming an employer of choice, whereby top performers are acknowledged, and for granting documented study that other organizations may learn from and employ in their performance management initiatives. As organizations experience the challenges of employee turnover, having a pay-for-performance program may attract high-quality potential candidates while nurturing the retention of top performers as well as talented employees (Tortorella., et.al, 2007).
Rewards SystemsThere is a rising demand on organizations to develop appropriate reward programs that motivate employees to work increasingly harder. These programs generally encourage and educate workers to become increasingly productive, valuable, and efficient individuals in the organization in regard to the bottom-line. However, owing to the pressures associated to incentives and performance or ineffective procedures of implementation, in a number of cases, these programs may promote unethical behaviors. Therefore to attract and retain committed and qualified individuals, organizations require having suitable pay systems that promote and reward workers to always continue being focused on the production of quality products in an proficient manner, as well as to constantly do the acceptable thing. In the mean time, managers ought to be moving toward better alignment between organization’s strategies and performance management, values, as well as quality measures.
The reward systems ought to be associated with employee development, goal-setting, competency measures, as well as team performance. This approach decentralizes the decision-making process down the chain of command to give power to those executing various tasks. This translates into enhanced reward systems as well as enhanced morale amongst employees. To facilitate the creation of a competitive edge, a lot of organizations today are doing more with smaller numbers of employees. Therefore it is essential that workers are rewarded for employing ethical and effective decision making and problem-solving skills.
Performance-Based PayThis entails variable pay to encourage and reinforce performance improvements through sharing the benefits or profits of improved performance. The contemporary pay for performance approach can be an outstanding stratagem if it focuses on results, rather than merely on the means. This approach would works well with manufacturing and technical jobs. However, jobs that necessitate decisions of ethics and morality cannot be left to individual since they represent the organization and their opinions may not of necessity match that of the organization. Ethical and moral decisions ought to be a concern of all stakeholders including the corporate executives as well as management. Individuals ought to be provided with the necessary resources, training, as well as the means of realizing results within stipulated limitations.
Strategy-Based PayThis refers to the base pay which may reinforce new wide-ranging jobs, development of skills, and performance. The strategic base pay must be determined due to skill as well as the external market. All jobs must have a base salary compatible with the market or industry. Every job must be described and analyzed founded on its work behaviors as well as distinctiveness of the work environment. Every position ought to be slightly different from the preceding one and must include extra responsibility of new skill or knowledge. Therefore, the base pay ought to be different for every job and must represent the level of knowledge or skill. All employees ought to be presented with the opportunity to train in new knowledge and skills requisite for assuming increased responsibilities. Pay rises as well as promotions ought to be founded on a 360 degree evaluation whereby every individual, can evaluate as well as recommend their colleagues for promotions and pay increase. It is particularly important that individuals are trained in the process of evaluation and educated on the impact of their appraisal on the individual being evaluated. If performed appropriately peer evaluations usually are the most precise judgments of a worker’s behaviors.
Recognition and RewardsConventional methods of running organizations have transformed rapidly and will most likely continue at an even more rapid pace as the labor force changes. The transforming workforce needs new as well as flexible reward programs that can enhance as well as produce positive conditions in the work milieu. Recognition programs may be geared toward the two extroverts, namely; those who require incentives in order to be motivated, as well as introverts, namely; the workers who are motivated as a result of internal gratification of pride in responsibility and workmanship. Human resource professionals ought to devise recognition programs that serve introverts as well as extroverts in order to make the job increasingly fulfilling. Fulfilling and challenging jobs keep employees contented and motivated internally to perform their jobs with personal integrity and commitment.
Cash awards may be excellent; on the other hand, the marginal utility of every dollar diminishes as the award rises. Cash awards are provisional awards and the impact normally ends at some stage the next day or the next paycheck. Consequently cash awards generally are not very effectual in the long-term, and may not be equally popular either. The majority of employers concur that they would realize more mileage from various non-cash awards than would be the case with cash awards. The non-cash awards may be less expensive and they ought to be given directly, and increasingly often, to constantly strengthen positive behavior. Several studies show that every twelve cent in cash award costs merely four cents in recognition in comparison to non-cash awards. These rewards have a propensity to be approximately 38% a blend of non-cash and cash, 15% being cash, and 47% being non-cash for the majority of large organizations.
ConclusionManagers ought to think concerning building an efficient as well as a value-based organization, since it is essential for their immediate success, as well as the management’s future. If the mangers reward ethical conduct and pay workers a fair wage, consequently, their workers will perform ethically. In the event that organizations as well as managers reward quality improvement and, quality products, then workers will commonly consider quality in their work which would consequently lead to improved ways of performing the job. In the event that, organizations reward consumer satisfaction and intimacy, employees are prone to adjust and transform their behavior to create a good relationship with the clientele, in order to recognize and gratify the customers’ needs. Appropriate reward systems for employees, as part of an all-inclusive performance management program, helps in enhancing performance as well as productivity in the workplace.
