The results also indicate that affective commitment and normative commitment influence job satisfaction and job performance. Job involvement also influence affective commitment and normative commitment. Finally, job satisfaction and job performance are influenced by job involvement. By respecting employees' involvement in decision making and by using an appropriate incentive system, managers can increase their employees' commitment to the organization, and also improve job satisfaction and performance. Due to the high rate of mobility of workers in the hospitality industry, managers need new and diverse approaches to increase the commitment of their employees. In order to provide satisfaction and commitment to the needs of the employees, hotel management companies should be sufficiently sensitive. |
