Abstract
Job satisfaction is probably one of the most researched topics in hospitality
and tourism literature. Scholars have invested considerable resources in
investigating this topic from an array of different perspectives with the intention
of enhancing our conceptual understanding of the defining elements that affect
employees’ satisfaction in the workplace. In contrast career satisfaction, defined
as “…the individual’s satisfaction with the accumulation of their career-related
experiences” (Dacre-Pool and Qualter, 2013, p. 216), has received much less
attention. According to Heslin (2005) being satisfied with one’s career is the most
usual manner in which to operationalize career success which in itself is a
subjective state (De Vos and Soens, 2008). Laschinger (2012), by exploring
employees’ job and career satisfaction, concludes that both are significantly
associated to a variety of workforce conditions, including future career turnover
behaviors and intentions.
