Relationship Among Work Contract Satisfaction, Job Satisfaction, and Productivity: An Analysis in Hotel Industry in Croatia

Abstract

In the last couple of decades, non-standard forms of work contracts increase. Usually, non-standard work contracts are connected with higher job insecurity and lower level of job satisfaction which can lead to lower productivity. In accordance with that, the main aim of this research is to explore the correlation between job satisfaction, productivity, and satisfaction with a work contract in the hotel industry in Croatia. The research results are based on the primary data collected by the survey carried out in the hotel industry in Croatia during the summer season of 2018. An ANOVA test is used to achieve the objective and the purpose of the study and to test the set hypotheses. The main finding of this paper points to the conclusion that employees who achieve high productivity show greater satisfaction with the work contract and greater job satisfaction in all dimensions. The obtaining results in this scientific debate can be helpful for hotel managers for enhancing labor productivity.
