Description
Summary:Job satisfaction contributes to organizational success. Workers in supervisory positions have stressful responsibilities and long working hours; however, they may also enjoy greater autonomy, higher salaries, and other advantages than non-supervisors. Hospitality workers, in particular, are subject to conditions that contribute to work-life conflict. This study compares job satisfaction for hospitality industry supervisors and non-supervisors as well as supervisors and non-supervisors in all occupations. Findings indicate that hotel industry supervisors are more satisfied than non-supervisors with some exceptions within specific hospitality occupations. Both hospitality supervisors and non-supervisors are less satisfied than their counterparts in all occupations.
