Gender Differences and Job Satisfaction among the Selected Hotel in the Heritage of Vigan

The hospitality business is one of the most agile large-scale up-and-coming trades, and it performs a significant role in the country’s national economic development. The service feature depends on employees' behavior, as employees represent a significant function in guest satisfaction and loyalty. Job satisfaction is an essential system that drives employees to strive harder. It has regularly been said that a happy employee is a productive, innovative, and creative employee. Gender is one of the most important demographic variables impacting job satisfaction. For this reason, the study was conceptualized to determine the significant relationship between gender differences and the job satisfaction of hotel employees in Vigan City.This study used a quantitative approach using a descriptive-correlational study, and the participants were selected through convenient sampling. The research adopted the validated questionnaire by Heimerl et al. (2020) about factors influencing job satisfaction in the hotel industry. As a result, the selected hotels in Vigan City employed young adults and obviously dominated by males ages 21-30 years old with hotel industry experience between 3-5 years. Based on the results, the job satisfaction level of the selected employees is at a “high” level and a “very high” interpretation. There is a significant relationship between gender and leadership and supervision, policies and practices and practices, work responsibilities, work conditions, and interpersonal relationship skills. In contrast, supervision has no significant relationship to gender. This is a reasonable implication that they are being treated fairly and justly. However, for the hotel industry to improve more, variables must be studied, and the survey statements must be modified to pour out the issues like gender differences and equality that need to be addressed in the workplace
