Abstract:

 This study aims to identify the common and distinct factors affecting the dissatisfaction of employees in two different industries, namely tourism and sports, and develop a model. The study was carried out using the qualitative method. A total of 118 employees in five-star hotels and sports centers participated in the study. Common factors affecting employee satisfaction were thematized as relationship with co-workers, nature of the job, relationship with superiors, salary, working hours, career opportunities, and job security. The factors affecting the dissatisfaction were thematized as inefficient salary, lack of relationship with superiors, job insecurity, and lack of relationship with co-workers. In the context of satisfaction in tourism, the theme of Facilities and benefits differs from sports. In the context of dissatisfaction with sports, the theme of lack of career opportunities differs from tourism. Based on the study findings, practical implications are presented for the two industries in an aim to increase the performance and productivity of their businesses. The study conveys its originality by identifying the employee dissatisfaction factors in the tourism and sports industries.
