This study is a study on the cooking department where chefs who belong to the desired job of elementary and middle school students work together with the recognition increase through the media. The cooking department, which has a vertical structure at work, can be said to have an absolute influence of the chef. However, the cooking department needs to change according to the times. The purpose of this study was to examine how chef's shared leadership affects the chef's emotional commitment, continuous commitment, job satisfaction, and job performance. Therefore, a questionnaire was distributed to the employees currently working in the cooking department of a five-star hotel in Seoul, and a sample of 319 copies was prepared. In statistical analysis, the items were refined through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis, and the hypotheses were verified through structural model analysis.As a result, Chef's shared leadership influences the emotional commitment of cooks, job satisfaction and job performance. In particular, emotional commitment and continuous commitment did not affect cooks' job satisfaction and job performance. In conclusion, to improve the performance of the organization, the hotel culinary department must establish a culture of sharing and communication. This suggests that establishing goals and visions will lead to job satisfaction and performance not only for individual cooks but also for the entire department. Therefore, it is expected to contribute to the efficient human resource management for the cooks in the hotel cooking department.

The purposes of this study were to understand the influence of culinary staffs burnout in deluxe hotels upon job satisfaction and turnover intention and empirically analyze the moderating effects by career and gender between the relations of burnout and job satisfaction. Based on total 309 employees obtained from the empirical research, this study reviewed reliability and fitness of the research model and verified total 2 hypotheses with AMOS program. The hypothesized relationships in the model were tested simultaneously by using a structural equation model(SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the data, $X^2$=391.832(p<0.001), df=238, CMIN/DF=1.646, GFI=0.905, AGFI=0.880, NFI=0.936, CFI=0.974, and RMSEA=0.046. SEM resulted that the non-accomplishment(${\beta}$-0.306, p<0.001) in hotels showed a negative significant influence on job satisfaction. Also, job satisfaction(${\beta}$-0.285, p<0.001) had a positive significant influence on turnover intention. The moderating effects on gender do not seem to exist, although its effects on career do. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

This study surveyed the recognition and satisfaction of food styling for cooks in a deluxe hotel. The most important item for cooks while cooking was 'taste' (57.7%) followed by 'sanitation' (25.9%). For food styling education in hotels, only 35.5% of the hotels surveyed had their own education program, and the media was the main source of food styling information (54.9%). Also, chefs studied food styling(49.6% of respondents) by themselves, for 'personal development'(73.8%). Average scale of recognition of food trends was $3.35{\pm}.83$, and that of the principles of food styling was $3.41{\pm}.84$. There were the significant differences in terms of the recognition of food styling in the age groups, cooking experience, and the positions. Moreover, cooks' overall satisfaction with food styling was found low with the average of $2.90{\pm}.89$.
