Gestión del Cambio, Cambio Estratégico, Incertidumbre del Entorno, Hostilidad del Entorno, Hoteles GriegosResumen
Este estudio explora los factores críticos que influyen en el éxito del cambio organizacional en el sector hotelero griego, con énfasis en hoteles de cuatro y cinco estrellas. Mediante un enfoque cuantitativo, se encuestó a una muestra de 513 trabajadores hoteleros con el fin de analizar las relaciones entre el contenido del cambio estratégico, la incertidumbre del entorno y la hostilidad ambiental. Los resultados sugieren que el contenido del cambio estratégico constituye un factor determinante para el éxito del proceso, lo que subraya la necesidad de una comprensión clara tanto de los cambios a nivel corporativo como de los cambios en el ámbito de negocio. No obstante, la incertidumbre y la hostilidad del entorno se revelan como los principales obstáculos para el éxito de dichos cambios, dado que generan fuerzas negativas que dificultan su implementación. El artículo examina la relación entre las etapas del cambio —descongelamiento, movimiento y recongelamiento— y propone diversas estrategias orientadas a fortalecer la adaptabilidad y la resiliencia de las organizaciones turísticas en entornos globales en constante transformación.
