Abstract

What is the reason why most hotel management students have fled the industry after internship? What factors affect their career values in the process of internship? Based on the theory of cognitive dissonance and the method of in-depth interview, the research conducted in-depth interviews with 8 interns of hotel management. The interviews were conducted in three sessions, namely, three periods before internship, internship and internship, and the duration of the interview ranged from October 2019 to March 2021.The data obtained from interviews will be analyzed through content analysis. The study found that the reason for the change in the value of employment values was that the information of the hotel industry and the hotel industry that they knew were in a low degree of agreement with expectations. In order to alleviate and change this situation, this study will provide students with personal and hotel management professional institutions and units to provide relevant feasible suggestions.
