Abstract: | This study aims to suggest positive organizational management strategies to hotels by empirically analyzing the effects of compliments on emotional satisfaction of hotel employees and thereby their ex-post responses. Verbal compliments had an effect of 0.343 (p?.01) on emotional satisfaction; behavioral and monetary compliments had no statistically significant effect. Emotional satisfaction had an effect of 0.472 (p?.01) on ex-post responses. By testing linkages among the sub-factors of compliments, emotional satisfaction, and ex-post responses, we see how they affect each other. Employee programs can be formulated for a positive organizational impact; proper verbal compliments can be an important employee management technique. |
