Abstract
As employee satisfaction (ES) plays a critical role in the success of hospitality businesses, the factors influencing ES have been extensively investigated in the literature. However, considering the enterprises’ limited resources, it becomes crucial to allocate these resources based on the priority of factors in order to enhance ES. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and Asymmetric Impact-Performance Analysis (AIPA) are the quantitative techniques used by scholars in the prioritization of attributes. Therefore, this study aimed to examine employees’ perceptions of various internal marketing (IM) practices and the influence of each practice on ES by comparing IPA and AIPA. The analysis results of both techniques revealed different results from each other based on a sample of 764 hotel employees in Antalya. A comparison of the two approaches’ results suggests that AIPA is more efficient than IPA in achieving higher ES.
