Analysis of empirical data is performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) system.From the findings of this study it has been founded that the employees of hotel enterprises in Ferizaj region are above average motivated in their work. Salary is the most important factor that has an impact on motivation, followed by the work-related relationships. However, comparing level of motivation among different places, we can see that the workers in Ferizaj and Shterpce were more motivated because more motivational techniques were used by their managers, whereas employees in Shtime and Kaqanik were less motivated.The variance analysis identified significant statistical differences in terms of motivation at work.Regarding the quality of service from the statistical data, we see that the quality of service is in right proportion to motivation.
