After reviewing the literature review, the employees’ attitudes (a ۱۳۷ random sample) was were examined by a researcher-made questionnaire. The participants were selected among ۱۴۴۸ Iranian hotels in the spring of ۱۴۰۱. The research method is descriptive-correlative. In order to data analysis, structural equation modeling was used.
