Zhang Hui1 / Niu Zhenbang2
Journal of Beijing International Studies Universit, 2014, 36(3): 44-.
Because of their role of boundary-spanners, hotel service employees are susceptible to high levels of role stress, which has adverse effects on job-related outcomes. The existing literatures on stress management focus narrowly on external factors, neglecting the importance of employees’ internal mechanism in coping role stress. Most researchers adopt a reactive perspective, they focus solely on existing stress. Based on a positive organizational perspective, this paper proposes that optimistic service employees can anticipate the potential role stress in advance, and adopt future-oriented coping strategies to adjust themselves. The results show that trait optimism has a significant effect on role stress, proactive coping fully mediates the relationship between trait optimism and role stress, while preventive coping is a partial mediator.

Qu Ce
Journal of Beijing International Studies Universit, 2014, 36(3): 69-.
Tourism World is a special framework of time and space, which is dominated by tourists and is different from the daily life world. It is as a kind of existence which can be generated and constructed in a certain realm. The way to construct the Tourism World is narration, materiality or tourist experience. The subject of construction is the tourist, the government, the business, the host and so on. In order to study the construction of Tourism World further, the research takes the Ping Yao Ancient City for example and analyzes it by means of content analysis, with the help of a network platform. The aim is to analyze the same and different points of the Tourism World constructed by the supplier and demander. From the results, we can infer that, the Tourism World constructed by the demander is embodied, relative and subjective. However, the Tourism World that the supplier constructs is visual, absolute and objective. Detailed analysis can help the “negotiation” between the demander and the supplier, to promote the sustainable tourism development.
