Organizational requirements and motivational needs
For a complete job satisfaction in a working environment, I feel that workforce involving
closely-knit team in order to have an experience of a collective work environment would
foster better work performance, yielding client satisfaction. Easy and comfortable to
approach supervisor is an important organizational requirement, according to me, to promote
employee work satisfaction. Working within ethical standards and environmental ethics is
crucial to achieve better performance and client satisfaction (Šimková and Holzner 2014). I
feel that my qualities of being a workplace politician, at the same time, maintaining
fundamental ethical standards are major organizational requirements.I feel that the workplace
creativity acts as a motivational factor for workers.Stringent policies and guidelines in a
workplace allowed me to work only within strict boundaries and never allowed to gain newer
experience. Thus, my experience as a receptionist at Norwood Hotel has helped me to learn
that fostering creativity through collaborative approach and workplace coordination are
important to allow for expanding oneself through newer learning. Financial, family, social
and intellectual aspects are more valued to me compared to physical, spiritual and community
wellbeing. Career orientation with expansion of lucre is what I seek throughout my career;
job orientation thus indicates a strong motivation for me. My work motivation comes through
setting regular goals and targeting them to achieve within a time limit; this further motivates
me to accomplish more tasks in less time. As an organizational requirement, conflict handling
and resolution through effective strategies favours me a versatility in organizational
performance to collaborate and avoid organizational conflicts.
Individual characteristics and choice of organization
My experiences in banquet catering and Norwood hotel make me a competent worker in both
corporate world as well as high organizational cultures. My organizational flexibility and

culturally diverse nature allow me to fit with perfection in travel and tourism organization,
where tourists from different cultural backgrounds are to be dealt with. I like working and
interacting with different people from all over the world. My potential lies in understanding
cultural sensitivity of different people and wide efficient networking with culturally diverse
people. Often travel and tourism organizations result in conflicts among tourists from diverse
regions. My ability to resolve personal conflicts and applying effective strategies to promote
smooth functioning of the organization workflow serves to contribute the most to this kind of
organization.
Hospitality employment and values and motivational factors
I feel travel and tourism organization would be the best fitting for my career. Travel and
tourism requires continuous travelling to different parts of the world with different people
from all over the globe. These people belong to different cultural background with different
cultural values and customs. Interaction with the culturally diverse population in travel and
tourism requires an understanding and knowledge of such cultural background. Interaction
also involves showing cultural sensitivity while communicating with diverse people (Cook et
al. 2014). I am culturally diverse and like to interact with culturally diverse population
gaining knowledge about their cultural values and learning about their cultural backgrounds. I
enjoy networking with culturally diverse population and learning their communication
language. I have travelled to different states of India and currently I am in Canada; learning
different lifestyles and regional activities have been a wonderful experience. Learning new
culture and new lifestyles and activities of a different place helps to develop cultural
creativity that one can apply in a work environment; I feel this is an important motivational
need to work under travel and tourism organization, where preserving cultural creativity us
the most important to maintain and achieve client satisfaction and ultimately self-expansion
of organizational qualities.
