Abstract

Digital transformation in the hospitality industry has become critical in improving operational efficiency and guest experience. This study aims to analyze the impact of implementing digital technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, on operational performance and guest satisfaction in star-rated hotels in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study was conducted through in-depth interviews with operational and IT managers from five-star-rated hotels in Jakarta and Bali, which have adopted digital technologies in their operational activities. The results showed that implementing a cloud-based property management system can increase operational efficiency by up to 30%. In comparison, using AI, such as chatbots, can reduce staff workload by up to 70%. The use of big data analytics also allows hotels to provide more personalized services, increasing guest satisfaction by up to 15%. The study also found that contactless digital technologies, which have become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, improve guests’ perceptions of safety and comfort. However, system integration, staff training, and initial investment costs are the main challenges faced. The study concluded that digital transformation significantly improves hotel efficiency, guest satisfaction, and competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market. Continuous adoption of digital technologies is highly recommended to maintain the relevance of the hospitality industry in the future.

Abstract

This study explores the association of corporate identity, social responsibility, and reputation in the development of successful sustainable branding in the hospitality and tourism sector of Indonesia. We used mixed methods applying quantitative analysis and collect the data in a systematic arrangement from various big cities considering the tourists. A 1,219-panel sample of small to medium-sized businesses were surveyed. Our conclusions are that many companies have successfully created an organizational identity internally through the alignment of communicated values and management's daily actions. Social and environmental obligations are demonstrated in supporting local communities, energy conservation and preservation of the culture. There are still a few that are not officially documented, but everybody knows these to be part of the company’s overarching strategy. Corporate image, from a job evaluation standpoint, is supported by open communication, listening to feedback and a digital presence. The results of the path analysis support the effect of corporate identity on social action and reputational perception. And the connection between social responsibility and reputation is robust. Relationships between variables remain constant, while regional comparisons reveal diverse trends. Bali is the most advanced when it comes to identity and reputation, with Lombok and Labuan Bajo concentrating more on community engagement. Interviews and focus groups reveal that involvement of the staff in social activities also contributes to sense of ownership and pride in the workplace. The fusion of values, participation and regular behavior author the maintenance of public trust in an industry so based on perception.

Abstract

The development of digital technology in the hospitality sector has led to changes in employee work patterns, particularly related to multitasking practices in service activities. This condition must be able to influence the perception of service quality by guests, especially in face-to-face contact. Research Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of multitasking in service on the perception of service quality by guests in star-rated hotels. Research Design: A quantitative approach and exploratory survey design were used. Data were collected using an online questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale from 172 respondents obtained through purposive sampling. We focused on guests who stayed at star-rated hotels during the past year and had experience interacting directly with employees. Descriptive analysis and simple linear regression were used in examining the data. Based on the results, the employee multitasking variable was found to be at a high level and service quality was in the medium category. The Responsiveness and Empathy dimensions received the lowest scores compared to other dimensions. As we can see from the regression, employee multitasking negatively and significantly affected service quality (β = −0.487, P = 0.000). Thus, these results indicate that the more staff multitasked, the lower the service quality perceived by guests. These findings have implications for hotel management to balance employee workload so that service quality is not compromised.
