description China is now enjoying fast growth of international tourism development, which contributes to creating a large amount of employment in the hospitality industry.Nevertheless, attracting and retaining talented students has become a significant problem in China due to a great proportion of HTM graduates fail to make their career decisions to work in the hospitality industry.It is therefore important to provide a value conceptual model that expounds on the theoretical relationships existing between motivational factors and students’ career decisions to enter the hospitality industry.
