The Influence of Sikkim’s Growing Tourism Sector on Human Resource Management Practices: Analytical Study on Seasonal Employment Dynamics and Training Initiatives

Author(s) Mr. Sanjay Khanal, Dr. Trilochan Nayak
Country India
Abstract This study examines the impact of rapid tourism growth in Sikkim on Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, with specific emphasis on seasonal employment dynamics and training effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, primary data were collected from 70 tourism enterprises across key destinations including Gangtok, Pelling, Lachung, and Namchi. Quantitative techniques such as regression and correlation analysis, along with thematic qualitative analysis, were employed. The findings reveal that over 51% of employees receive no structured training, and training quality—not mere availability—significantly influences job satisfaction. Seasonal employment negatively affects workforce stability, although staffing fluctuations show a positive relationship with perceived enterprise viability. The study introduces the concept of the Seasonal Suppression Effect, highlighting how seasonality compresses ability, motivation, and opportunity dimensions of HRM. The research contributes theoretically by extending the AMO framework and offers policy recommendations for sustainable tourism workforce development.
