Abstract
Researcher conducted quantitative analyses of Japanese hotel employees' job satisfaction and its association with the other variables such as actual annual salary, desired annual salary, age, gender, highest education, years in the industry, number of jobs switched, size of the hotel etc. While some of the descriptive statistics might indicate that overall mean score of the job satisfaction appears to be improving, the research revealed where the increased variances of satisfaction might have come from. Series of hypotheses testing based on the industry-generated questions were conducted. While there were substantial evidences to support some allegations, relatively huge variances often indicated that the reality around the job satisfaction would be more complicated than simple linear modeling can explain its variances.
