C. SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATION
Mr. Deny’s career history spans about 25 years in Sun Jaya hotel. Upon senior high school graduation, he was appointed in Sun as Room Boy in 1977. He was transferred to the accounting department after he obtained his Sarjana Muda and worked as Resto and Bar Cashier for 2 years. During the next 12 years he occupied several positions: Night Auditor Resto, Night Auditor Front Office, and joined a management trainee program for Chief Accounting position. In 1997 he was promoted to Reservations Manager and became Assistant Front Office Manager after 1 year. Reporting directly to the Front Office Manager, his responsibility is to assist the FO Manager in monitoring overall daily activities in the front office area. This includes preparing schedule, conducting technical training, preparing regular reports, and supervising 6 Section Heads directly.
Despite his limited educational background and technical competence, Mr. Deny has good interest and talent as a trainer. He claims that even though his experience is mostly in the back office, he was given promotion to be a manager in the front office department. This is due to his interest to meet and serve the customers, his ability to develop work systems and handle good administration matters. Even though he is not a heavy socializer, he uses his charm and own style to train and supervise his subordinates and serve the guests.
Based on the above findings, we find that Mr. Deny functions reasonably effectively in his current position. He is creative in developing work systems and is concerned about people development. He actually has potential for further development, however, we find that he is not very focused in conducting his job and becomes pessimistic about his career path in Sun. We suggest to conduct career counseling to know his exact interest and to make him aware of his strengths and areas for further development.
