Background of the Study
Workplace stress is a prevalent issue in many industries, and its effects on employee performance and well-being have been widely documented. In the tourism sector, particularly in service-oriented roles such as hotel management, event coordination, and customer service, workplace stress can significantly affect service delivery. Abuja, as Nigeria’s capital, is a prominent hub for tourism and hospitality services, attracting both international and domestic visitors. The increasing demand for high-quality services and the fast-paced nature of the tourism industry in the city place considerable pressure on workers.
Tourism employees in Abuja face stressors such as long working hours, high customer expectations, job insecurity, and the need to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. This type of stress can negatively impact employee morale, reduce productivity, and impair customer satisfaction. It is crucial for tourism organizations to understand the effect of workplace stress on service delivery to maintain high standards of hospitality and enhance the overall visitor experience.
This study aims to examine the impact of workplace stress on service delivery in Abuja’s tourism sector, focusing on how stress affects employee performance and the quality of services provided to tourists.
Statement of the Problem
Workplace stress in the tourism sector has the potential to disrupt service delivery, which in turn can harm the reputation of businesses in Abuja’s tourism industry. Although stress is a recognized issue in hospitality and service sectors, there is limited research on its specific effects in the tourism industry of Abuja. This study seeks to explore how stress influences the quality of service, employee interactions with customers, and the overall success of tourism-related businesses in the city.
