Hotel JURISMA : JURNAL RISET BISNIS DAN MANAJEMEN INTRODUCTION The industry is a big effort that is managed or undertaken by individuals or in a joint way where there is large capital to achieve the goal of forming their own company but needs to be assisted by its employees. Therefore, the factory and employees must b e able to act similarly to achieve the desired goals. The origin of public energy is the value assessment in the factory to achieve the purpose of the factory. The purpose of the factory is to be easier to succeed if in the factory there are potential and reliable public energy roots so that they can share the progress of the quality and quality of the factory. The success of a factory will be clearly evident as to whether it can organize the energy roots of the existing audience better than ever in achieving the goals of the plant. Performance is a valuable aspect of determining industry success. If employee performance always faces important improvements from time to time, the company will easily achieve the goals that have been inaugurated (Andriyany, 2. It is said that the ability of employees is a relationship between the output or results of the institution with the input needed, the results can be quantified by separating output from input (Wibowo. From that employee performance can be influenced by many aspects, including psychological and physical skills of employees, bonds between leaders and subordinates, enthusiasm for employee activities, learning, activity experience, work obedience, expertise, behaviour and activity ethics, nutrition and health, income level or honour, technological sophistication used, achievement opportunities (Sutrisno, 2. According to (Sutrisno, 2. performance is psychological behavior. It is a psychological behaviour that is always looking for changes in what already exists. Meanwhile, according to (Busro, 2. ability is an analogy between output . and input .

Suwatno, 2. Views that can support the ability of activity power include age, activity experience, pay, technology, activity zones and activity passion (Kumbadewi et al. , 2. One aspect that affects performance is morale. Work spirit is something that stimulates the will . and driving force of a person's desire to work. Each concept has a specific goal to be achieved (J. Hasibuan &. Silvya, 2. Work enthusiasm is needed in order to make a person enthusiastic in duty as a result of which it can support his (M. Hasibuan, 2. said that a working spirit is very useful because, with this working spirit, it is expected that everyone wants to work hard and is eager to achieve high performance. Bagi (Winardi, 2. suggests that enthusiasm is a potential force contained within a person, which can develop alone or be raised by some outside forces which in essence range closely from monetary and non-monetary consequences, which can affect the results of his performance with positive or fewer methods. Research results (Laksmiari, 2. , (Yusuf, 2. , (Rizkie et al. , 2. , and (Faozen, 2. report that enthusiasm affects work performance because high activity enthusiasm will be easier to complete the profession when compared to low morale. Another factor that affects employee performance is work experience. Activity experience is one aspect that affects the achievement of activities. With the experience of activities, the accumulation of knowledge techniques and abilities and attitudes in a person has been formed, so that it can support self-development with the transformation that exists. The experience of an employee has a very valuable number for his work needs JURISMA : JURNAL RISET BISNIS DAN MANAJEMEN a duration to arrive, activity experience is the most important aspect of an industry (Habibah, 2. Employees who already have a lot of activity experience will very easily adjust to the existing profession (Sastrohadiwiryo &. Syuhada, 2. For (Habibah, 2. , (Yona &. Sastria, 2. , stated that work experience affects activity performance, this matter is convincing if the presence of the activity experience factor as statistics does affect the ability of employees to work, whereas good experience, until employees want to become active at work and the ability to increase, from the above hypothesized .

The results of multiple linear regression analysis to determine the influence of independent variables and bound variables simultaneously can be seen in Table 1. Table 1.

JURISMA : JURNAL RISET BISNIS DAN MANAJEMEN CONCLUSION Based on the results of research that has been carried out conclusions can be obtained including morale affects positively and is relevant to employee performance. While work experience affects positively and is relevant to employee performance. This means that if an employee has long work experience, it increases the performance of a hotel employee. This study has suggestions related to morale indicators that have low values and things that hotel leadership needs to do to improve work performance, one of which is providing rewards for outstanding employees, strengthening kinship in the office, recognizing the shortcomings and advantages of each employee and providing training regularly so that it can revive employee morale. In addition, several indicators of work experience have low values. Things that need to be done by hotel leadership are familiarized with the work experience skills possessed by employees and do not hesitate to ask for help carrying out work. RECOMMENDATION Research on the impact of morale and work experience on hotel employee performance is still possible to be further developed in future research. Things that might be developed are adding new variants, namely leadership and organizational culture as independent variables, while morale and work experience become involved with the Warppls method and the respondents are multiplied to increase accuracy.
