This study examines the impact of perceived work values on job satisfaction among individuals employed in the hospitality sector. The research was conducted in hospitality businesses within Mersin province, and the findings obtained through quantitative methods were evaluated within the framework of four main hypotheses. It was found that the dimensions of perceived work values, namely extrinsic/instrumental, intrinsic/cognitive, social/altruistic, and prestige/appreciation, have significant effects on job satisfaction. The research was carried out with 393 participants. Data collection was conducted through both face-to-face and online methods, and the analyses were performed using SPSS, employing multiple regression analysis and confirmatory factor analysis techniques. The findings of the research indicate that all four dimensions of perceived work values positively affect job satisfaction. The social/altruistic dimension was found to have a stronger impact on job satisfaction compared to the other dimensions. These results demonstrate that perceived work values play a crucial role in enhancing job satisfaction levels among employees. The study's outcomes elucidate the complex relationships between perceived work values and job satisfaction, providing guidance for business managers in developing strategies to enhance job satisfaction.
