The purpose of this research is to determine the range of workplace factors that infl uence employee perceptions of their work environment as what is casually referred to as a ' fun ' place to work. The assumption is that a collection of workplace factors (ie, attractors) lead to overall positive benefi ts for hospitality operators with the foremost being the establishment of a strong service culture. This study begins with a review of emotional contagion, emotional labour, service culture, social bonding theory and from the practitioner ' trade literature ' literature, fun in the workplace. In this study, the principal component factor analysis was applied to 572 questionnaires on this compiled scale of reported workplace attractors. The factor analysis procedure indicated that two components were derived that fi t well within two aspects of social bonding theory; that of attachment and involvement.
Most investigations of substance use in nightclubs are from a club goers' perspective. Consequently, that leaves an understudied population—the nightclub employee. Therefore, the purpose of this exploratory qualitative study investigated substance use at work by nightclub employees
and the conditions of acceptable workplace consumption. This study selected a nonprobability purposive sample consisting of seven semistructured, in-depth interviews with nightclub employees from Miami, Florida. Findings revealed that all of the employees participated in workplace substance
use, and found it acceptable to engage in substance use at work under the following conditions: the selection of substance (stimulant preference or alcohol) and quantity (low to moderate dosage). The environment and availability of substances in the nightclub normalized workplace substance
use. Employees felt that management had a substantial influence in the acceptance of workplace substance use because managers would either ignore or outright encourage the intake of substances on the job.
