Tony and Lee have looked over the ‘‘pink intake sheet,’’ compiled from the initial telephone interview with the family, and have conversed about the nature of the case. The entire process pertaining to the case, however, has been held in abeyance until the arrival of the family for their first therapy session. Until the family arrives for therapy and begins to define, not only the nature of the problem but also the nature of the family, all other speculations, formulations, and strategies for intervention must be suspended. This process of defining the family by family members during therapy is unique in each case.

Recent studies have shown that a large percentage of employees have considerable quality of life concerns, particularly in relation to combining work and family or personal responsibilities and activities. The hospitality industry, traditionally characterized by long and erratic work hours, has experienced numerous quality of work life challenges. This study analyzes the concept of organizational commitment as related to personal interferences that conflict with work in a sample of hotel employees. Organizational commitment, in past research, has been positively linked to reduced employee turnover and increased work productivity. Hotel employees were surveyed ranging from entry level hourly workers to managerial levels. An inverse relationship was found between organizational commitment and certain types of work interferences, specifically child care and medical problems. The implications of this research are numerous as hospitality organizations analyze ways to minimize work conflicts and maximize employee organizational commitment.

SUMMARY As one of the major sources of employment in the United States, 10.1 million employees in 1995 (AHMA 1997, 1), with expected employment of over 14 million by the year 2005, it is important that the perception of ‘being employed’ in a hospitality-related job conveys a positive connotation. This article seeks to identify the root causes of the less-than-positive American attitude toward hospitality service employment and to present the results of recent research that identifies ways in which employers can meet the needs of prospective employees to provide meaningful and satisfying workplaces.

SUMMARY This chapter reviews previous literature related to men and women in the hospitality workforce and summarizes the challenges they have confronted as they strive to develop careers while maintaining family commitments. Current trends such as globalization, diversity, and technology are described and their impact on the hospitality workplace assessed. Specific actions that progressive hospitality organizations have taken as they address the need for a more responsive and flexible workplace are presented. Finally, suggestions are proposed for how educators and practitioners might work together to assist employees in increasing their quality of life and in achieving family and work balance. It seems likely that fundamental shifts in the basic assumptions affecting employee policies are necessary before organizational attitudes and practices will result in greater work and family balance for service employees.
