Abstract
This study investigated work styles (also referred to as personality types) of hotel managers (specifically, general managers, assistant general managers, and directors of sales). Research findings drawn from a convenient sample of a hotel management company in the Southeast United States (with an 82% response rate), suggest that there are significant differences among work styles associated with specific managerial positions. Such a finding may indicate that managerial positions may share few work style characteristics, with key differences suggesting implications for employment selection, professional development, and succession planning.
