THE IMPACT OF RECRUITMENT SYSTEM AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT ON THE ENHANCING OF EFFECTIVENESS IN WORKING THROUGH COMPENSATION AS INTERVENING VARIABLE AT NIAGARA HOTEL PARAPAT
Abstract: Lake Toba is the
biggest and deepest volcanic lake in South-East Asia, located in Parapat, Simalungun Regency,
North Sumatra Province,
Indonesia. It is
the tourism icon
in Indonesia andrecommended to
be one of
the Global Geopark
Network (GGN) tourism icons established by UNESCO. The
tourists visiting this destination are still as not many as other tourism
destinations in Indonesia.
Many factors cause
such condition. Hotel’s hospitality service,
which is an
important role for
tourism convenience, is not at its
maximum quality. Therefore,
the domestic and
foreign tourists have
not been able
to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of Lake Toba. The low quality of services
may be caused by the less
effective of the
recruitment system, career
development, and compensation systems which
result in the
diseffectiveness of employees
work. The purpose
of this research is to analyze
the impact of how recruitment system and career development on the enhancing of
effectiveness in working
through compensation as
the intervening variable. The
research is carried
out at Niagara
Hotel Parapat. The
population of this
study is 174 Niagara
Hotel Parapat’s employees
and 64 of
them are selected
as samples for
this research. The method used in this research is Path Analysis. The
result shows that recruitment system and career development (test-F) have significant positive influence
over compensation. There
is a significant
positive influence between recruitment over
compensation, but there
is no significant
influence between the
career developments toward compensation.
It causes career
development possibility at
Niagara Hotel to be too short and the compensation system to still be
under the province minimum wage.
Recruitment system, career
development, and compensation
affect positively and significantly to
the effectiveness in
working. There are
significant positive influences among recruitment
system, career development,
and compensation with
respect to the effectiveness of the employees work at
Niagara Hotel Parapat. Recruitment is a dominant variable which
influences more to
work effectiveness rather
than to career
development, directly or indirectly through compensation. The research
also shows that compensation is an intervening variable for recruitment system but not for career development.
