This paper explores the determinants of job satisfaction among employees in hotel companies, focusing on personal and organizational factors such as personality traits, leadership style, and organizational justice. The aim of the research is to determine how these factors influence employee job satisfaction. Job satisfaction refers to the emotional response employees have to various aspects of their work environment and is crucial for their productivity, motivation, and long-term loyalty. Employees of hotel companies in the Zadar County area participated in the research. The results show a statistically significant correlation between leadership styles and employee satisfaction, as well as between different dimensions of organizational justice and employee satisfaction. Regarding personality traits, it is evident that neuroticism and extraversion have a statistically significant correlation with job satisfaction. The strongest positive statistically significant correlation with job satisfaction is found with distributive justice, while the strongest negative statistically significant correlation is with the autocratic leadership style. An increase in distributive justice results in the highest increase in job satisfaction, while an increase in the autocratic leadership style indicates a decrease in job satisfaction among employees in hotel companies in the Zadar County area.
