The course of the functioning of the hospitality sector is constructed with keeping in
consideration the business opportunities and the profit maximisation. After completion of the
research, I can attest to how the job satisfaction of the employees of the hospitality sector will
help in enhancing the business repertoire.
I deduced that the operational mode of the hospitality management is conceived with keeping
in consideration the directives issued namely efficiency of providing the services and
ensuring that the customer is satisfied with the overall services. The future prospects of the
business could be to employ more interactive approach with the customers and the
employees. A healthy balance in between the client-employee relation would help the
organisation to achieve their directives with ease.
I can opine that the new knowledge or insight, which I gained after the completion of the
assignment, can be successfully incorporated by the organisation after doing a thorough
research and understanding of the market dynamics. The onus should be on effective
communication, which would help the employers to gauge the needs and the demand of the
employees and bring forth policies, which would help the business to implement and organise
their mode of directives accordingly (Freund, 2015).
3. Describe objectively what happened in the learning process
The assignment has helped me to gain an insight in the different factors associated with the
hospitality industry and the subsequent evaluation of the factors.
This assignment has helped me deduce the key aspects responsible for affecting and
influencing the satisfaction and thus determining the impact of the factors. This assignment
was conducted with reading the different literature associated with the sector, I analysed and
read the books, journals and the magazines, which helped me, understand the factors, which
affect the job satisfaction and subsequent impact of the factors.
I can deduce the effect of job satisfaction on the employees. I employed a qualitative and
quantitative research case for deducing the effect of job satisfaction on the employees.
This assignment has helped me to gain an insight on the relevance of job satisfaction along
with how it influences the productivity and functioning of the industry. The study was done
in accordance with the research methodology employed, a questionnaire was devised to judge
5

the responses from a wide array of people, which helped me to conclude on the relevance of
job satisfaction and how it helps in enhancing the business acumen of the organisation.
4. Evaluate what you learn
Since the assignment deals with a topic, which functions, in the various complex substructure
of the framework, the need to construct business research was of utmost significance. The
business research conducted helped to build forth a analytical research based on the various
nuances and the discrepancies of the machinery. The hospitality industry is a sector of
tremendous scope and the need to understand the sector was to be conducted with
methodological rigor. The performance of the employees, their motivation and the productive
output is vastly dependent on the job satisfaction. The organisational policies were critically
analysed, with keeping the factors, which affect the effectiveness and the impact of the
factors, were kept in contextual background.
I arrive at the conclusion that the effective organisational policies coupled with a positive
work environment will help the organisation to retain a competitive advantage without
compromising on the productivity or the sales output. The business research also helped me
to gain an comprehensive insight to gauge the size and the scope of the opportunities and thus
aid in establishing a thriving business. The gaffes and the blunders of the process are
comprehended in a more competent manner and thus the business research has helped me to
compile a legitimate analysis (Vasquez, 2014).
5. Explain your learning process
I constructed the assignment with the aim of deriving a conclusive analysis, which would
elucidate the different attributes associated with the hospitality sector, the relevance of
enhancing the job satisfaction and how it affects the productivity of a business. I have learnt
that the organisation could effectively augment their productivity and the sales output if the
organisation implements policies in tune with the ethical and moral structure. The assignment
helped stipulate the different factors which influence job satisfaction, such as the
demographic factors, Working Environments, Training and Development, Pay and
Benefits, Promotional Opportunity, Supervision and the Emotional Intelligence. The
hypotheses hence derived by me were based on the findings and with a explanatory approach.
The factors, which were at play here, were of pivotal importance, with the context equally
mediating the physical and the psychosocial environment of work. The training and the
6

development aspect of the research is aimed with the purpose of implementing the knowledge
and skills and enhancing their potential, which would help the organisation to function with
optimum productivity.
The pay and benefits and the promotions of the employees will help the employee to further
their satisfaction with the jobs and thus provide the organisation with their optimum output,
essentially contributing to enhancing the business acumen. The extrinsic motivation of the
employees could help in reaping benefits for the organisation, along with the proper
compliance of a healthy work environment. It is also imperative to state from my part how
effective supervision could enhance the morale in the subordinates and motivate them to
operate with their peak performance.
6. Explain Plan how this learning you will applied
The learning, which I deduced from this analysis, will be incremental for the organisation in
order to conceive a framework, which takes in consideration the significance of job
satisfaction among the employees. After completion of the assignment, I can safely conclude
how the different attributes of motivating the employees and ensuring their job satisfaction
will be incremental for the business. The organisation policies are framed with keeping in
consideration the crucial points for ensuring the job satisfaction within the organisation
structure; additionally the consequences and how it affects the competitive outlook for the
business. The learning I comprehended from this assignment can be efficiently incorporated
within the organisation structure with effective communication in between the client-
employee base. The future prospect will involve expanded organisational scope and include
more complex machinery, thus making it imperative that the organisation employ methods to
ensure that the operation is conducted in a competent manner (Ariza-Montes et al., 2017).

efficiency, and recommended measures, which could enhance the process.
