摘要：Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic's onset, the tourism and hotel industries were growing at an exponential rate. Following COVID-19, it is projected that the hospitality industry would soon recover and thrive once the epidemic is contained. While there is a rising trend indicating the hospitality industry's continued growth, the hotel industry itself faces significant obstacles. One of the primary issues is a high incidence of employee turnover. Thus, the purpose of this study was to ascertain the factors influencing Generation Z, specifically final-year university students majoring in hospitality and hotel management, when it comes to selecting their first employment following graduation. Following a review of the literature, a number of significant variables were identified and conceptualized under monetary (i.e., salary and benefits) and non-monetary (i.e., working environment, career development, and employer reputation) factors in order to investigate their effect on job selection preference. A total of 239 rows of data were collected. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences and WarpPLS for Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling were used to examine the data. Salary, benefits, and employer reputation each have a significant positive effect on students' job selection preferences. Surprisingly, neither work environment nor career development were found to have a significant effect on job preference. The study's findings are likely to provide more insightful data to corporate recruiters, allowing them to obtain a better understanding of employees' worries while choosing a position in the hotel business.
