Abstract

This study examined employee motivation and its impact on organizational performance in the hotel industry, using training needs approach, in ten selected hotel establishments in Enugu, Nigeria. After review of contemporary literature, simple random sampling technique was used in selecting respondents for the study, while a sample size of 152 was determined using the Taro Yamane formula, hence questionnaire was administered to sample for data collection. Data was analyzed in inferential statistics while research hypotheses were tested using Pearson Chi-square. Among other findings, results revealed that there is a relationship between training and improved productivity, and between training and enhanced employee morale. As a motivation tool, hotel establishments can use training to advance employee performance by becoming more productive, and prepare them for upcoming changes in techniques and professional dynamics on the job. The study advocates the use of job rotation programmes to decrease the training costs while increasing the impact of training, as it makes individuals more self-motivated, flexible, adaptable, innovative, eager to learn and able to communicate effectively
