Work environment Service industries Social values Recent attention to issues of holistic wholeness among employees has ignited great concern about the relevancy of traditional management thinking. It has been argued that this thinking is not sufficient to address current and future concerns about effective business practice based on values, motivation and ethics in management practices. In today’s business environment where more time is spent in the workplace, understanding spirituality and work values could provide a better picture of how educational institutions could best prepare future managers. The hospitality work environment requires individuals who are “people people’. The core of this ‘people people’ lies in work and spiritual values.
