Abstract
This paper proposed an integrated macro and micro factor (iMAM) model capable of explaining the relationship between micro and macro factors that influences women career development in hotel industry in Nigeria. Several efforts to come up with model that could explainhotel business working environment void of gender inequality is not in sight. Previous models developed in respect of women career development are developed in other countries without considering Nigeria local peculiarities; hence, not addressing the current challenges of gender inequalities in Nigeria hotels. In view of this, developing a practical and integrated model that focus on tackling the challenge of gender imbalances that characterised the Nigeria hotel industry and placing Nigeria among notable countries whose hotel industry promotes gender equity is timely. The iMAM model comprised of 2 predictors (i.e. Micro and Macro factor) and a dependent variable (DV) (i.e. Women Career Development. The model shows that 4 dimensions of micro factor correlates women career development in Nigeria hotel industry. Also the 3 dimensions of macro factor also correlate women career development. Dimensions of micro factor in the context of women career development in Nigeria hotels were explained by attributes such as; Organisation culture, family, and individual factor, including gender role. In addition, macro factor in this context is measured with 3 dimensions: Socio-cultural and Economic factors, including Technological change. The model is useful for analysis in academic and business research, including impact studies. The framework has potential applications in hotel industry personnel management, and provides governments with a value-free approach for creative human resources and gender policy formation in the hospitality sub-sector. It serves as a guide for hotel human resources planning and assessing government policies on gender matters.
