Hotel Employees' Psychological Empowerment Influence on Their Organizational Citizenship Behavior Towards Their Job Performance

Abstract

The success of the hospitality industry is dependent on its employees and their management towards the achievement of the organization's objectives. One of the perplexing concerns gripping the hotel industry is the dearth of qualified managerial and non-managerial human resources that drastically affects the job performance of the hotel employees and the organization as a whole. In the hospitality industry, especially hotels, where guests are treated with passion, the employees' organizational citizenship behaviour plays a crucial role to influence their job performance. This study is aimed at investigating the employees' psychological empowerment traits and their organizational citizenship behavior traits that influence their job performance. The conceptual model of the study is based on social exchange theory. The study's propositions will help review the policies of the hotel industry in terms of human resource management, add value to the existing body of literature, and give strategies for managers and supervisors in the hotel industry to achieve the desired performance through their employees.
