Abstract
The study aims to explore the correlation between employee motivation and job satisfaction within the context of the hotel industry. Additionally, it delves into the interplay between demographic factors and motivation/job satisfaction. Utilizing a survey technique, data was collected from 190 employees of a 5-star hotel chain in Turkey in 2013, and ethical approval was not required. Key findings reveal a statistically significant difference in intrinsic satisfaction based on gender. However, no age-related differences were observed in intrinsic, extrinsic, or overall satisfaction. In terms of education, individuals with middle school education exhibited the highest intrinsic satisfaction, while those with primary school education had the lowest. Notably, individuals with tourism-related education reported higher job satisfaction than their counterparts without such education. Furthermore, the study uncovered that married individuals displayed a higher economic motivation average than single individuals. A positive and significant relationship was identified between psychosocial motivation and intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall satisfaction.
