Organizational Behavior in the Hospitality Industry

Traditionally, there is an interesting cast of characters that comprises the ranks of the hospitality contractor and chef journeymen syndicate. They come from all walks of life, but there is the common thread in the work they do and the services they provide. On the common ground of any given job site where these characters converge, philosophies and attitudes toward service and clienteles becomes remarkably similar to one another. This echoes the universality among the hospitality and service culture regardless of background, individuals’ cultures, or socio-economic status. 

The organizational behavior within the hospitality industry depicts one of the most diverse cross-sections of all world populations. So as far as valuation is concerned, diversity it seems, is a precious commodity. If its constituents are not representative of the populations it serves, little else can be expected of your average contractor outside of his or her command of the tools in their tool chest. Collectively, the industry must have an intimate knowledge with whom it is they serve. What is special about a service contractor is they must possess human relationship skills not far removed of the level at which most politicians operate; this is key to the service industry culture. They must be keen to nuances in social settings, and be pragmatic with their listening skills. As diverse as service men and women are, they must also be as intuitive. And, well, we are indeed, diverse.
