The perception of minimum wage towards employee job satisfaction

Investigation between job satisfaction and work motivation in the hotel industry is not a new scenario. Numerous researches have been conducted focusing in the area, however only few studies focusing on minimum wage as part of motivation factor. Based on the government's new guideline on the minimum wage for all sectors in 2012, this study is proposed to examine the effect of minimum wage towards employees' job satisfaction. The hotel employee's perception about this policy will also be explored. This case study will be conducted using a quantitative approach with the employees as the future respondents. Through this study, employees can express their opinion with regards to the minimum wage policy thus can help the hotel to better develop their employees' salary scheme. Additionally, the finding is also hoped to serve as a platform to regenerate more ideas regarding minimum wage particularly from Malaysian context.
