Background of the Study
Employee motivation is a crucial factor that influences job performance and service delivery, particularly in the hospitality industry. In hotels, the quality of service is often directly related to the attitude and motivation of the employees. Hotels in Abuja, Nigeria's political capital, host numerous domestic and international guests, and their reputation depends heavily on the quality of service provided. Motivated employees are more likely to engage with guests, provide personalized services, and contribute to the overall positive guest experience. Conversely, demotivated employees may provide substandard service, which can lead to guest dissatisfaction and loss of business.
Employee motivation in hotels can be influenced by various factors, including financial incentives, career growth opportunities, recognition, and the work environment. Given the competitive nature of the hospitality industry in Abuja, where several high-end hotels vie for a share of the market, understanding how employee motivation affects service delivery is essential for hotel management. This study aims to investigate the impact of employee motivation on service delivery in Abuja’s hotels, focusing on the factors that drive motivation and how they affect the quality of guest service.
Statement of the Problem
In Abuja’s hotel sector, employee motivation is often cited as a key determinant of service quality. However, many hotels still struggle with high staff turnover, low morale, and inconsistent service delivery. While there is recognition of the importance of motivated employees, hotels often fail to implement adequate strategies to foster motivation. This study seeks to explore how employee motivation influences the quality of service delivery in Abuja’s hotels and to identify strategies that hotel management can adopt to improve motivation and service outcomes.
Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the relationship between employee motivation and service delivery in Abuja’s hotels.
2. To identify the factors that influence employee motivation in Abuja’s hotels.
3. To recommend strategies for improving employee motivation and service delivery in Abuja’s hotel sector.
Research Questions
1. What is the relationship between employee motivation and service delivery in Abuja’s hotels?
2. What factors significantly influence employee motivation in Abuja’s hotels?
3. What strategies can be implemented to enhance employee motivation and improve service delivery in Abuja’s hotels?
Research Hypotheses
Ho1: Employee motivation does not significantly influence service delivery in Abuja’s hotels. Ho2: The factors influencing employee motivation do not significantly vary across different hotels in Abuja. Ho3: There are no effective strategies for improving employee motivation and service delivery in Abuja’s hotel sector.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on hotels in Abuja, particularly in the context of employee motivation and service delivery. The scope is limited to the staff and management perspectives, excluding other factors that might impact service delivery, such as external factors like tourism trends. Limitations include potential challenges in gathering accurate data from employees and hotels, and the study may not represent all hotels in Abuja, particularly smaller, less well-established establishments.
