Abstract: Abstract Hospitality industry has undergone many changes in the past years, reflecting the sharing economy and customer digital empowerment effects. In this context, the excellence of service provided is a key success factor. This study investigates the themes related to people influence in tourists’ perception of service quality. The proposed model assesses the influence of human resource management on employee behavior and the latter in tourists’ service quality perception in the hospitality sector. The results obtained allow to conclude that human resource management plays an important role, by placing efforts in frontline employees’ values and attitudes and consequently shaping service encounters.
