...MANAGERIAL AND LEADERSHIP STYLES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MARKETABILITY OF THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS IN ZAMBALES --------- Presented by RODEL EBAL CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Job satisfaction in staff/managers of hotels and restaurants should be of great concern to any organization. Hotel and Restaurant staff and management personnel hold the majority of positions in most hospitality-industry settings, and replacement of a licensed personnel is costly and time consuming. Many registered and/or accredited personnel in hotels and restaurant sectors had limited time but ample exposure to varying degrees of job satisfaction.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between a dispositional variable (sense of coherence), burnout, job satisfaction and job performance. A once-off cross-sectional survey design was used.. The Orientation to Life...
