The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships of core-self evaluation, service recovery performance, job satisfaction and turnover intention among frontline staff in the Korean hotel industry. In order to examine the proposed hypotheses, descriptive statistics analysis, frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and covariance structure analysis were undertaken using SPSS(10.0) and AMOS(4.0) to explore the relationships among variables. The results showed that core-self evaluation had a significantly positive effect on service recovery performance. In addition, service recovery performance had a significantly positive effect on job satisfaction, while there was no evidence of relationship between service recovery performance and turnover intention. Job satisfaction was explored to have a significant negative effect on turnover intention.
