“…Our finding where non-prescription drug use predicted quality of sleep among the waiters elucidates the view that use of non-prescribed drug may affect sleep and subsequently reduce the health-related quality of life [50]. This could possibly be that these non-prescription drugs were self-medicated to treat sleep problems or body aches from stress associated with waiting work [51].…”

Introduction Poor mental and sleep health negatively affects work performance, turnover intention, and information retention. We examined the impact of waiting job in upscale restaurants on the sleep health of waiters. Materials and methods This was a descriptive study which collected cross-sectional data from waiters of upscale restaurants, using PSQI and DASS-21 questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics comprising mean, frequency, percentage, chi-square, and logistic regression were adopted in presenting the results. Results Sleep quality was poor among 74% of the waiters. The predictors of sleep quality were sex (p = 0.002), role at restaurant (p = 0.004), non-prescription drug use (p<0.001), depression (p<0.001), anxiety (p<0.001), and stress (p<0.001). The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress among the waiters was 52.3%, 38.3%, and 34.4% respectively. Stationed (AOR = 4.72, 95%CI = 1.7-812.53, p = 0.002) and supervising (AOR = 3.08, 95%CI = 1.25-7.57, p = 0.014) waiters were more likely to have good sleep quality than headwaiters. Waiters who had depression, anxiety, and stress were, however, 8% (AOR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.46-1.85, p = 0.819), 28% (AOR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.38-1.36, p = 0.315), and 49% (AOR = 0.51, 95%CI = 0.24-1.07, p = 0.073) less likely to have a good sleep quality than those who respectively did not have depression, anxiety, and stress. Conclusions Sleep quality was poor among most of the waiters. If this persists, Ghana may not be able to meet the Sustainable Development Goal 3.4 target of promoting mental health and wellbeing. To improve sleep quality and accelerate progress towards achievement of the SDG

“…The inclusion of drugs and alcohol in specific taxonomies (cf. Gruys & Sackett 2003;Vardi & Weitz, 2004) are particular relevant when exploring a sector of employment such as hospitality, which has recognised problems of drug and alcohol abuse (Giousmpasoglou, Brown, & Cooper, 2018;Pidd, Roche, & Kostadinov, 2014;Pizam, 2012). These, however, only focus on workplace acts of deviance performed by staff.…”

Drawing on multi-disciplinary literature, this paper provides an integrative review of the concept of deviance, examining its relationship with and application to hospitality management. It synthesises conceptualisations of deviance in the social sciences and applications of the concept in organisational and consumer behaviour research. The paper distinguishes between four sources of deviance in hospitality management: staff, suppliers, customers and external actors, exploring different forms of deviance stemming from each. The subsequent discussion explores multiple antecedents and drivers of deviance, considering how these have been conceptualised in various disciplines at different levels of analysis: organisational; interpersonal, social and cultural; and personality and individual. The critical synthesis identifies diverse themes in the connections between deviance and hospitality management, and their implications for research and practice.

“…Some topics, for example wages and gender, were overrepresented and others, such as substance abuse and mental health, did not yield any results despite these appearing in tourism occupational literature (cf. Giousmpasoglou, Brown, & Cooper, 2018;Kotera, Adhikari & Van Gordon, 2018). In analysing the reports using the constructs identified, two separate but linked themes were evident.…”

There is consensus that the social, or people, dimension of sustainability including its workforce thematics are neglected in the tourism literature and policy despite its prevalence in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Premised on the understanding that sustainability is inherently set in neo-liberal discourses of progress, development and growth, we set about to investigate tourism's performance principally relative to SDG, no. 8 (UN, 2015), which calls for 'decent work'. Underpinned by precarity, an emerging sociological concept applied in the workforce context, and adopting critical approaches, this paper presents a review of a sample of industry reports from global, regional and national levels. The study provides evidence that tourism sustains precarity vis-à-vis its employment practices. Our findings suggest that, counter to prevailing sustainability discourse, tourism (employment) sustains deep social cleavages and economic inequalities-a triumvirate of precariousness of work, precariousness at work and subsequent precariousness of life.
