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.
