The study was carried in the Abuja municipal council area with a population of 2500 workers in the 191 hotels and other facilities rendering hospitality services in the area. A sample of 100 workers were purposively selected as respondents for the study, out of which 94 responded. Four research questions and one hypothesis were used to guide the study. Related literature was reviewed, and gaps identified justifying the study. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The multi linear analysis statistic was adopted to test the hypothesis.
