The study was carried out using the qualitative method. A total of 118 employees in five-star hotels and sports centers participated in the study. Common factors affecting employee satisfaction were thematized as relationship with co-workers, nature of the job, relationship with superiors, salary, working hours, career opportunities, and job security.
