Abstract: The aim of the study is to examine gender differences on perceptions of employees’ quality of working life indicators in five star hotels in Turkey. 443 hotel employees participated in this study. Quality of work life was measured using 7 dimension and 16 items scale. All these dimensions were investigated with respect to gender variable. According these results male employees reported significantly different mean scores in health & safety needs, actualization needs, and knowledge needs in quality of working life indicators. However; economic & family needs, social needs, esteem needs, and aesthetic needs factors were not statistically significant. This finding is also consistent with the results obtained from Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) in which the independent variable was gender and the quality of working life indicators were dependent variables. Finally, MANCOVA analysis was conducted while controlling for such variables as age, marital status, income level, education, and type of department, type of work, length of time in this organization, and length of time in the tourism sector. Specifically, males and females displayed more significant distinctions after controlling for these variables.
