| Summary: | This study examined the extent to which the motivation strategies used in Kenya addressed employees‟
motivation needs in the face of the prevailing socio-economic trends. The study found out that while
hotels in Kenya had devised a number of strategies geared towards motivating employees, such
strategies did not adequately respond to the expectations of the targeted employees. As a result, the
hotels continue to experience a high employee turnover resulting into a relatively youthful workforce. This
paper thus recommends that there is need for the managers of hotels in Kenya to investigate the
expectations of the employees in order to tailor the motivation schemes to meet these needs and
expectation for optimal results. |
