In fact, hotel industry is people oriented industry where employees have to play crucial role in retaining and attracting guest. Thus, employee’s satisfaction has recognized and appreciated as a vital component repeating guests. Considering these aspects the present study aims to identify the Job Satisfaction parameters which are most significant in Hotel Industry with special reference to 5* hotels located in NCR. A self administered questionnaire was developed to collect the primary data from the respondents of 25 hotels in NCR.
