There is no doubt about service is the most critical edge for the success of hotel industry. As the same token, there is saying that "Happy employees are happy customers." The purpose of this study is to find out factors and attributes what constitute job satisfaction for hotel employees to make happy employees. This study employs an article review research method by APA. This study analyses, organizes, and integrates three unpublished doctoral dissertations by Korean authors. Only 8 attributes are identical in all three studies and 4 in two studies out of 57 attributes. Followings are attributes which should be considered for the future research on the job satisfaction of hotel employees. First, more opportunities for career advancement due to the growth of Korea's hotel industry and travel benefits endowed by hotel employees. Second, some psychological matters such as conflict between line and staff, stereotyping about gender and educational background, stress from cultural differences with foreign managers and customers etc. Finally, distribution of service charge, work shift, holiday and night work, performance appraisal, labor union etc as HRM practice.
