Star Hotel Service Quality
Return: Study of Management, Economic and Bussines, Vol. 2 (5), May 2023
5. The research findings on the aspect of human resource management in service quality in
the hospitality industry are broadly in line with the results of studies conducted by (Alreahi
et al., 2023), (Bambale, 2017), (Betts, 2020), (Choochote & Chochiang, 2015), (Costa et
al., 2021), (Dhar & Singh, 2021), (Firliandini & Ahman, 2022), (Jaisinghani & Jariwala,
2022), (Kaushal & Srivastava, 2020), , (Khdour, 2021), (Madera et al., 2017), (Miah &
Hafit, 2019), (Kumar et al., 2016), (Palguna, 2021), (Papademetriou et al., 2022), (Pham et
al., 2019), (Susanto et al., 2022), (Triatmanto et al., 2019), (Tulsi & Ji, 2020) and (VO et
al., 2020) that human resource management practices have a significant impact on service
organization performance, quality service delivery, where the research findings yield
evidence that the greatest level of importance (> 10%) relates to human resource
management in terms of providing appropriate human resources from in terms of quantity
and qualified quality to serve customers, the point is how lodging should provide officers
who are always on standby at the front office (recepcionist and cashier) and household
officers who deal with issues of cleanliness, lighting and complaints from other customers.
However, the results of this study do not definitively support the research conducted by
(Silva & Martins, 2016) and (Khassawneh & Mohammad, 2021) because of the limitations
of this research, the things that were raised by them have not been confirmed in this study.
For example, is increasing the quality of service while increasing employee loyalty? This
needs to be proven further. However, this study strengthens what was concluded by
(Rakhmat Kabul et al., 2021) regarding the provision and development of human resources
or intellectual capital to ensure the continuity of the organization while adding competitive
advantage for business progress.
In other words, the management of human resources is directly proportional to the quality
of human resources in an organization, including in lodging service organizations, so that it will
determine the quality of service. Human resource management is good, the quality of human
resources will also be good so that the quality of service is also good.
In this study, the authors found the fact that the management of human resources by lodging
management still has weaknesses, namely, firstly from the recruitment aspect because there are
employees whose educational background is not from the hospitality sector and and the number
is not yet sufficient, secondly is the absence of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) SOP) and
clear work instructions from the inn. These two things have resulted in many complaints from
customers that have not been handled. The solution is that hotel management must increase the
number of competent employees in the hospitality sector and develop SOPs and work instructions
that are clearer and easier to understand for employees.
CONCLUSION
Based on the research findings and discussion as well as answering the research objectives,
it can be concluded the following matters: 1) There are 16 service attributes that determine the
quality of lodging services based on the results of interviews with customers and inn managers
and of these 16 attributes only 6 service attributes have a positive score meaning that they have
met the level of customer expectations while the remaining 10 service attributes still have a
satisfaction score value negative and weighted customers are not in accordance with consumer
expectations so the focus of improvement must be based on the 10 service attributes; 2) Based on
the 10 service attributes that have not met consumer expectations (WHATs sub-matrix), 15
corrective steps are developed that must be implemented by lodging management (HOWs sub-
matrix) so that the quality of lodging services can improve. Which has the greatest level of interest
(> 10%) related to the management of human resources in terms of providing human resources;
3) The management of human resources is related to the provision of appropriate human resources
in terms of numbers so that there are no shortages/vacancies of officers at the front office (cashier
and receptionist) to serve customers and lodging management needs to provide training and clear
work instructions for employees so that the quality of officers who serve customers can be more
competent.
