Abstract

The period after the second world war was one of considerable hardship and widespread poverty in Austria; a time when many adolescents in technical colleges were found to be encountering learning problems and developmental difficulties, because of their deprived war‐time childhoods. During this period, in Vienna, a group of imaginative and far‐sighted people came together, prepared to dedicate their time and knowledge to sorting out, as far as possible, the problems of this large group of adolescents. The adolescent counselling services which arose from their efforts were the brainchild of Dr Ilse Scholer.

Abstract

Various themes were woven into this year's annual conference of the Institute of Youth Employment Officers — Higher Education, the position of girls, experience from overseas, relations with Further Education, the training of YEOs, extending upwards the agerange dealt with by the Service. Some present wanted to say much more about relations with industry and the trade unions, but clearly it is not possible to cover every aspect of this wide field in one conference.

Abstract

Educationalists can take a legitimate pride in our public library system. The aim of the first pioneers of the movement was to provide suitable material to assist in education, and throughout the years since the first Public Library Act of 1850, the libraries have always stressed the serious side of reading. That their use has increased so greatly since the end of the first world war is due in no small measure to our system of education, which has produced so many potential library users.

Abstract

All production engineering is a daily challenge, but at those factories run by Remploy (a Treasury‐backed, non‐shareholding industrial company, limited by Government guarantee) it combines the usual need for constant problem‐solving, with a demand for the sensitivity and dexterity of a juggler on a tightrope. For some 92 per cent of the Remploy employees are on Section 2 of the Ministry of Labour's Disabled Register (the registered disabled persons in open industry all come under Section 1), and this means that they are technically labelled ‘unemployable’. Remploy, the brain‐child of Ernest Bevin, which was started in 1945, and so celebrates its twenty‐first birthday this year, has proved that label false.

Abstract

One of the most well-known, seminal models in the tourism marketing field is the one proposed more than 40 years ago by Stanley Plog. His venturesomeness model has been widely cited in journal articles, textbooks, and has also been used as a reference for planning and designing tourism marketing projects. However, empirical research on Plog’s psychographic model has yielded varied, inconclusive results, and the postulates of his conceptual framework are still subject to academic scrutiny. While some empirical investigations have corroborated the model, others have found partial or no support for it. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to offer an exhaustive review of 26 studies in the literature which have employed Plog´s venturesomeness concept to examine travellers’ personality traits, attitudes, and behaviour, as a way to synthetise empirical findings and draw conclusions from the cumulative results. A discussion of the model’s contribution to the current body of knowledge and managerial implications for tourism marketing practitioners are presented.

Abstract

One of the most well-known, seminal models in the tourism field is the one proposed 50 years ago by Stanley C. Plog. His venturesomeness model has been widely cited in journal articles, textbooks, and has also been used as a reference for planning and designing tourism marketing projects. However, empirical research using Plog's psychographics has yielded varied results, some of which have corroborated his model, while others have found partial or no support for some postulates. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to offer an exhaustive review of 47 studies in the literature which have employed Plog's venturesomeness concept to examine travelers' personality traits, attitudes, and behavior, synthetizing empirical findings and drawing conclusions from the cumulative results. A discussion of the model's contribution to the current body of knowledge, managerial implications for tourism practitioners, and directions for future research are presented.

Abstract

People have unconscious motives which affects their decision-making and associated behavior. The paper describes a study using thematic apperception test (TAT) to measure how unconscious motives influence travelers' interpretations and preferences toward alternative tours and hotels. Using the TAT, the present study explores the relationships between three unconscious needs: (1) achievement, (2) affiliation, and (3) power and preferences for four package tours (adventure, culture, business, and escape tours) and for seven hotel identities (quality, familiarity, location, price, friendliness, food and beverage, and cleanliness and aesthetics). The present study conducts canonical correlation analyses to examine the relationships between unconscious needs and preferences for package tours and hotel identities using data from 467 university students. The study scores 2,438 stories according to the TAT manual to identify unconscious needs. The findings indicate that (1) people with a high need for affiliation prefer an experience based on cultural values and hotels that are conveniently located, (2) individuals with a high need for power indicate a preference for high prices and good value for their money, and (3) people with a high need for achievement prefer a travel experience with adventure as a motivation. The study findings are consistent with previous research of McClelland (1990), Wilson (2002), and Woodside et al. (2008) in exploring impacts of the unconscious levels of human need.
