Hospitality Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Readiness for Sexual Harassment Prevention in Ghana: Mixed-Methods Dataset (2024–2025)

This dataset underpins the mixed-methods study “From Classroom to Workplace: Knowledge and Attitudinal Readiness for Sexual Harassment Prevention among Hospitality Students in Ghana.” It integrates quantitative and qualitative data exploring how hospitality students understand, experience, and prepare to prevent sexual harassment in educational–industrial transition contexts.

The quantitative dataset (n = 277) includes variables measuring harassment impact, cultural barriers, victim-blaming, and prevention measures. It contains item-level data, reliability indices (Cronbach’s α, CR, AVE), HTMT discriminant validity, measurement invariance (gender and internship experience), ICC clustering, and regression models with cluster-robust standard errors.

The qualitative dataset (n = 13) comprises anonymised interview transcripts coded using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase thematic analysis. Themes include institutional preparation gaps, harassment awareness, gendered experiences, informal support reliance, and industry-specific vulnerabilities.

Together, the datasets provide a unique Ghanaian perspective on gender, power, and workplace dignity in hospitality education and offer a valuable resource for replication, cross-cultural comparison, and theory building.
