Professional Satisfaction and the Level of Job Performance – Implications for Perception of Service Quality by Consumers. Case of Tricity Hotels

Summary/Abstract: The article is of the research nature, and an aim of considerations is to present the role and importance of employees’ satisfaction for shaping the desired consumers’ attitudes and behaviours in the market for hotel services. The research issue is an attempt to find an answer to the question whether there exist any dependence between professional satisfaction and creativeness of human resources and, as result, with the level of job performance by the personnel of the hotels surveyed. The above-mentioned dependence may be translated into the perceived by purchasers quality of the services being provided and, in result, into clients’ satisfaction and loyalty. The applied research methods are: a critical review of the subject literature concerning the undertaken problems and empirical research carried out by the method of survey at two Tricity hotels. The carried out research is of the case study nature and its results show that the way to win satisfied and loyal customers may be, inter alia, reinforcing satisfaction of employees who, through their creativity and way of job performance, may have created surplus-value and usefulness for the client. The research findings showed an important connection between satisfaction and creativeness of human resources and, in result thereof, with the level of job performance. Proof of that dependence may provide for the need and direction of further empirical surveys that would allow for verification of the made in the article assumption that there exists dependence between job performance by the hotel personnel and the perceived quality of services and consequences thereof for consumers’ attitudes and behaviours in the market.
