Abstract: This research contains eclectic analyses of the theory of human resources development along with the founding’s from the empirical research with the main goal to determine the prospects for career development in the hospitality industry in North Macedonia. By using a sample of employees from different gender, age and education, the differences in perception have been evaluated and analyzed.

By conducting the set of questionnaires, the quantitative analyses were conducted on the different variables that have been analyzed by computing different statistical methods like descriptive analyses, t-test ANOVA and correlation analyses.
