Abstract

The study aims to identify the nature of the value-based relationship among the managers and supervisors of food and beverage departments in five-star hotels in Egypt and its impact on the job satisfaction of employees in these departments. To achieve this goal, several sub-goals emerged, namely: identifying the components of the value-based leadership approach and providing a useful model to enhance the leadership approach in the field of management in hotels, as well as identifying the degree of practicing value-based leadership among managers and supervisors of food and beverage departments in five-star hotels in Greater Cairo in Egypt. The study showed that the value-based leadership style achieves an important and positive effect on the employee's performance, in the study sample hotels, which means that the value-based leadership style is one of the important variables that can improve the employee's performance, as well as the impact of the value-based leadership style on job satisfaction as well. The results showed that the value-based leadership style has a significant and positive effect on the job satisfaction of the employees in the study sample hotels, which means that the value-based leadership style is one of the important variables that can increase job satisfaction, and the study also showed that job satisfaction is not an intermediate variable between the work environment and employee performance is a dependent variable affected by the three leadership axes.
