Abstract

The Irish hospitality industry has experienced a period of huge transition in the wake of the Covid19 pandemic. Rising costs, staff shortages and employment insecurity are abundant. As employee concerns turn to wellbeing and self-prioritisation, the industry must adapt and adjust if it is to prevail. This study involves the quantitative analysis of cross-sectional questionnaire survey data to gain greater understanding of what effect post Covid-19 working conditions are having on employee wellbeing in the Dublin hospitality industry. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between the variables present in the study, with experience and environment being treated as independent variables, tested against the dependent variable of satisfaction. The results of this dissertation highlight the importance of positive working conditions in preserving and maintaining employee wellbeing. It is from these findings that greater awareness and understanding can be brought to the importance of the relationship between working conditions and wellbeing, so that the employers and stakeholders of Irish hospitality can begin to work towards the creation of a more supportive and fulfilling environment for their employees.
