This paper aims to investigate hospitality study abroad experiences as an educational service in which the experience encompasses services that combine tangible and intangible actions that require students to move from the classroom to a practical setting. It empirically investigates the relationship between students’ study abroad, perceived value and perceived sacrifice (monetary and non-monetary) with their overall satisfaction and internationalization intentions.

A total of 57 students who had completed an international externship experience were contacted and invited to complete an online survey. The online survey gauged the student’s perception of their externship experience, the overall satisfaction and the internationalization intentions. The instrument also gathered demographic information about the participants. The proposed model was estimated by using partial least squares (PLS) path modeling.

The results indicate that PLS can be used to assess the theory of consumption value for study abroad experiential learning. The results of the hypotheses testing indicate that the value students get and give is a suitable and significant predictor of satisfaction and internationalization. However, students’ satisfaction with their study abroad internship does not predict future internationalization intentions.

This study sheds light on hospitality students’ perceived value, satisfaction and internationalization intentions when they complete a study abroad internship program. The results indicate that the value students get and give is an appropriate and important predictor of satisfaction and attitude toward international education.

本论文旨在研究酒店管理专业出国留学的学生体验, 此体验既包括实体化行动又包括非实体化行动, 使学生走出教室, 进行实际操作。本论文实际检验学生出国留学、价值感知、牺牲感知（物质上和非物质上）、以及他们整体满意度和国际化意向。

本论文采用在线问卷采样形式, 57名参加出国实习项目的学生为问卷样本。问卷主要衡量了学生出国实习体验、整体满意度、和国际化意向。此外, 问卷还采集了人口统计信息。本论文采用偏最小二乘回归（PLS）路径建模的分析方法来分析数据。

分析结果表明PLS可以检验出国体验学习的消费价值理论。 研究结果表明学生得到和给与的价值是一项决定其满意度和国际化意向的指标。然而, 学生对于出国实习的满意度并不能决定其国际化意向。

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new unbiased, reliable, exact, and systematic method of job satisfaction score estimation. The method considers affective and cognitive aspects simultaneously.

A questionnaire survey following the optimum allocation stratified sampling method was conducted in four up‐scale hotels of Tehran. Hotels' employees completed the questionnaires. Principal component analysis was used to identify facets, and the Friedman test was applied to examine their homogeneity. The Wilcoxon sign rank test and Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficients were employed to determine the most effective method among those investigated.

The weighted abridged job descriptive index (WAJDI) proposed in the study as a modified version of the job descriptive index seems to overcome the main limitations of the abridged job descriptive index (AJDI) and the perceived job satisfaction (PJS) methods when measuring job satisfaction in the hospitality sector.

This paper encourages researchers to consider different methods to assess job satisfaction along with WAJDI. However, although a stratified sampling approach was used, it focused on a limited sociocultural and economic environment, which limits the generalizability of findings. WAJDI must be used in different conditions to prove its efficiency in measuring job satisfaction.

This study assesses and compares the power of the AJDI method, which is a cognitive‐based structure, with PJS as a global, single‐item scale to capture the affective aspects of job satisfaction. By introducing a new method of job satisfaction evaluation, this study contributes to the literature.
