Abstract Sharing and exchanging knowledge among workers in organizations has received considerable attention in the literature, whereas knowledge seeking attitudes and behavior are less reported. This paper presents findings from a qualitative study of knowledge seeking by hotel employees in Dubai, UAE. Distinctive characteristics of hotel workforces in Dubai are identified. Employees emphasized proactive knowledge seeking, rather than knowledge sharing. These findings highlight the importance of providing organizational support for pull learning approaches to employees’ knowledge acquisition, through technology-enabled microlearning practices. In this way, organizations are likely to benefit from greater employee satisfaction, retention, competence and productivity.

The Journal of Convention and Event Tourism: A retrospective analysis using bibliometrics

PurposeRecognising the literature of a field is vital for advancement in that field. Yet, there has not been a systematic analysis of recent publications published in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights (JHTI). Therefore, this research aims to do a bibliometric analysis of articles published in JHTI during the previous five years.Design/methodology/approachThis study used bibliometric techniques and indicators to analyse JHTI publications from 2018 to 2022. The data utilised in the study were obtained from Scopus and subsequently subjected to analysis through the Bibliometrix software.FindingsThe findings show good collaboration between the production components (country, institution and author) in JHTI. The co-occurrence analysis of keywords comprises five clusters; the co-citation analysis comprises six; and a group of articles connected with psychological aspects and areas such as motivation, attitude, customer engagement, place attachment and behavioural intention was the most remarkable cluster. Sharing economy, destination marketing, destination image and some, to an extent, social media and revenue management are just a few of the niche themes that have the potential to come up.Research limitations/implicationsThis study will be helpful as a roadmap for researchers in different fields who are interested in such studies, as well as for editorial board members and those who work in JHTI.Practical implicationsScholars and practitioners may benefit the most from this research by obtaining insight into the development of JHTI's research and the areas of the hospitality and tourism industries that need more study.Originality/valueThe current study is both necessary and valuable because it is the first to provide insight into the effectiveness and intellectual framework of the hospitality and tourism literature selected by the JHTI.
