    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2024) Dangalla, D. K. T.; Prabuddha, C.; Amarasinghe, T. W. G. M. R.
    The hospitality industry in Sri Lanka is a vital contributor to the economy but faces challenges like high staff turnover, skill gaps, and employee dissatisfaction. This study examines the impact of organizational culture, job autonomy, and counselling on employee performance, focusing on the mediating roles of motivation and organizational commitment. Using a survey of 350 operational-level employees in Colombo city hotels, the research employs quantitative methods, including regression analysis. Findings reveal that job autonomy and counselling significantly enhance employee performance, while organizational culture shows no direct impact. Motivation and organizational commitment mediate the relationships between these variables and performance, highlighting their importance in fostering workforce productivity. These insights provide actionable recommendations for hotel management to improve employee satisfaction and service quality, ultimately strengthening the sector’s sustainability and success. This study enriches literature by addressing performance challenges specific to Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry.
