There were proved that hospitality major is higher than other majors in importance of Generic and Personality Competency and performance of Generic Competency as well.

본 연구는 대학의 특성을 반영한 전체 대학생 및 호텔관광경영 전공에 요구되는 역량범주를 확인함으로써 역량기반 대학 및 호텔관광경영 전공의 교육과정 프레임워크 재구축을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이러한 연구목적을 위하여 본 연구는 첫째, 핵심역량에 대한 이론적 실무적 선행연구의 검토에 기반하여 대학생의 핵심역량을 공통역량, 전공역량, 인성역량, 대학특성역량 등 4가지로 설정하고 둘째, 대학생을 대상으로 역량별 중요도와 성취도에 대한 설문으로 실증분석을 실시하여 본 연구에서 설정한 4가지 역량을 검증하였다. 셋째, 호텔관광경영 계열 진공과 기타 전공간 역량별 차이를 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과, 본 연구에서 설정한 4가지 역량범주가 타당하게 설정되었으며, 전공계열간 중요도, 역량수준, 교육적 요구가 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 호텔관광계열 전공이 기타 전공들에 비해 공통역량 및 인성역량의 중요도와 공통역량의 현 수준이 상대적으로 높은 것으로 분석되었다.
