Abstract

The effect of work value perceptions and person organization fit on job satisfaction of X and Y generation employees in hospitality businesses

Abstract

The tourism industry relies heavily on human power to survive, and job satisfaction is significantly influenced by employees' perceptions of work value and person-organization fit. This research aims to explore the impact of X and Y generation employees' work value perceptions and person-organization fit on job satisfaction in hospitality establishments. A field study was conducted with 471 employees in Mersin, using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected through questionnaires and reliability and validity tests. The findings showed that work value perceptions, person-organization fit, and job satisfaction levels of X and Y generation employees differ at a significance level of 0.05. However, there is a positive and significant relationship between these factors, with person-organization fit having a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction.
