Description:
This study investigates the influence of personal antecedents and achievements (i.e. intrinsic attributes, personal character, strategic positioning and academic achievements) on lodging management knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) and success. The findings reveal that correlations between intrinsic attributes, personal character and strategic positioning, and KSAs are generally stronger than the correlations found between academic achievements and KSAs. Knowledge in financial management and other situational influencers was determined to contribute most to managers' career success. Also strategic positioning was identified as a moderating variable between KSAs and monetary success.
