Abstract
Abstract This study seeks to uncover the factors that promote or inhibit American workers from using their paid vacation days. Five focus groups were conducted within three hospitality sectors (hotels, restaurants, and theme parks) in order to gain a greater insight as to the use, causes, and consequences of vacations. The data analysis revealed five themes: vacation usage patterns and behaviors, factors promoting vacation, factors inhibiting vacations, company policy on vacation, and the impact of technology on vacation. A model is presented which expands the theory and practice on the benefits and challenges of taking vacations in the contemporary workplace.
