Rating Scale) method that was an effort to diagnose and reveal individual behavior to be suitable
with the company’s objectives. This method aimed to determine which factors influencing the
working-performance and delivering the assessing guideline containing clear indicators should be in
those factors. Sampling used a purposive random sampling by taking two respondents in each subgroup consisting of housekeeping, security, F&B, engineering, and front office divisions. Further,
other samples were coming from supervisors of each sub-group, managers, and HRD. This study
