motivation factors including pay, monetary rewards, opportunity for advancement and promotion have been examined in the hotel industry ( Byrne, 1986; Wong et al., 1999). Also, other motivation factors such as job responsibility, recognition from people, job challenge, feelings of accomplishment and development of self-esteem have been identified important for hotel employees ( Wong et al., 1999). Intrinsic means belonging naturally, existing within, and extrinsic operat-ing or originating from the outside: intrinsic work motivation refers to motivate someone by his/her heart (e.g., feelings of accomplishment and development of self-esteem) and extrinsic work motivation applies monetary rewards. Thus, this study also intended to comparatively examine importance of intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation for hotel employees with their intensive labor work, low pay, image of low status and few opportunities for advancement.
