Abstract: According to data from the National Tourism Bureau, in 1991 the total number of star hotels in China was 853, in 2002 it was 8,800, and in 2003, more than 9,000. This is the fastest growth not only in Asia, but also in the world. When we set our eyes on national hotel development, we also need to know that rapid development will lead to a pitfall in human resources management and only a slow improvement in service quality for customers. It is a fact that a slow improvement in human resource in China hotels; the level of staff satisfaction is also very low which leads to high staff turnover. The human resources in China are not managed well nor are they developed in a way which matches the requirements of the industry. The hotel industry is a service industry. The core of service is employees, and employee motivation is a reflection of hotel management quality. How do we improve employee motivation? Mr. George R. Oldham (1980) asserts in his dissertation <<work redesign>> states that there are 5 elements in staff motivation: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and job feedback. Autonomy is one of the most important elements. This study focused on autonomy management, and is a case study of the Golden Key Hotel of the World in Yee Chon of China. The study used self-administered questionnaires and interview to find out the relationship between autonomy and employee motivation. Suggestions were provided for changes in the management of hotels and hotel systems. Finally, this study also suggested methods for motivating hotel employees. The dissertation is divided into six parts: Part I. Study proposal and research environment Part II. Related definition and expert concepts Part III. Research frame and methodology design Part IV.
