Determinant of Employees Job Satisfaction and the Role of Male and Female Differences: An Empirical Study at Hotel Industry in Iran

Abstract

Employee satisfaction is a parameter used to measure of the extent to which employees are pleased with their particular jobs and working environment. Continuously improving the spirits and self-confidence among employees can be of incredible benefits to any organization, given that happy employees are anticipated to put in more energy and time, take less leave of absence, and remain dedicated to the company. There are a number of factors that improve or sustain high employee satisfaction, which sensible employers thrive to implement. This objective of this study is to determine the level of employees job satisfaction and to investigate the effect of gender on employees job satisfaction. Important factors that have an impact on job satisfaction are supervision, relationship with co-workers, rewards, work condition, and opportunities for promotion. Data for this research were gathered from employees of four 5 rated-star hotels in Iran. The illustrative evaluation executed to decide the grade of employees job satisfaction. Furthermore, independent sample t-test was utilized to empirically test relationship between employees job satisfaction and their gender. Findings suggest that employees are moderately satisfied with their job and there is no significant difference in between male and female employees job satisfaction.

“…It is not easy to get the highest satisfaction value on the recognition item because it is at the fourth level, which the individual will only obtain if he or she has passed the previous levels of satisfaction, namely psychological, security, and social. 21,26 In this study, the reason the recognition variable is included in the important variables is that currently, not many people have noticed the presence of pharmacists, which may be due to pharmacists not having enough time to provide counseling or other interactions. In addition, pharmacists have other responsibilities as drug supply managers with monthly reporting to the Health Office and the Food and Drug Administration, which can reduce interaction time with patients.…”
