Abstract: In the activity of any hotel company, the manager or the

administrator plays an important role; that is why the relationships of the

hotel units with managers and administrators must be well defined and

assumed by both sides by means of specific contracts. Between the manager

contract and the administrator contract there are similarities, but also

differences. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages that the

two contracts present and also the situations in which they are recommended.

1. Conceptual issues regarding the

manager contract and the

administrator contract

Hotel services represent an important

part of the economic system through the

employment and income which it

generates.

Today's lodging industry is more global,

consolidated, and culturally diverse than

ever before. Lodging professionals should

be properly tooled with knowledge, skills

and abilities necessary to enable them to

face the industry’s challenges and ensure

their future success. Through the years, the

consensus among industry professionals

has been that human resources-related

skills represent the most important element

of hospitality management success.[9]

An important role in the activity of every

hotel company is played by the manager or

the administrator.

The leadership provided by the general

manager is undoubtedly the most

important quality he or she brings to this

position.[1]

The general manager or administrator

orchestrates the department directors in

their efforts to meet the financial goals of

the organization. The general manager is

required to use the full range of managerial

skills as performance is the scope of it’s

entire activity.

The plans developed by the general

manager provide the vision the business

needs to compete for the hospitality

markets.
