Date
2007Abstract
In the present paper, an attempt has been made to measure the employees’ perception of some
of the human resource development (HRD) practices prevailing in the classified hotels in Orissa. Orissa
is a state in the eastern India which has been heavily concentrating its developmental efforts at the tourism
industry in general and the hotel sector in particular since the early 80’s. However, the results do not
substantiate the quantum of efforts for which many reasons have been proposed. A key contention made
by critics is that these efforts were lopsided in that they gave undue importance to the marketing function
and totally neglected complementary aspects like HRD En el presente documento se ha tratado de medir la percepción de los empleados sobre las
prácticas que revalecen en algunos desarrollos de recursos humanos (HRD) en hoteles clasificados de
Orissa. Orissa es un estado del este de India que, desde principios de los años 80, ha concentrado sus
esfuerzos de desarrollo en la industria turística en general y en el sector hotelero en particular. No obstante,
los resultados no se substancian en la cantidad de esfuerzo por muchas razones. La principal crítica
realizada se centra en que no se dió la suficiente importancia a la comercialización y descuidaron totalmente
aspectos complementarios como el HRD.
