Abstract

This paper examines the impact on work motivation of demographic characteristics. Data from 130 senior managers in Greek hotels revealed that age, education and length of employment with current organization have only a slight effect on manager's work motivation. While length of time in current job, sex and maritalstatus have no impact at all. A regression analysis revealed that these six demographic factors taken together account for 8 per cent of the variation in the work motivation if no other factors are examined. Based on these findings some suggestions are made about staffing and promotion policies in the hotel industry. Particularly it is suggested that age and qualifications and time in present organization are an advantage not a barrier for high work motivation.
