Personal wellness, manifested as physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, environmental, and occupational dimensions, are discussed in a hospitality business context. Each dimension is analyzed as to its importance to student success, as measured by grade point average (GPA), and its implications for employee productivity and corporate profitability. University students tracked and reported how they spent their time relative to these seven dimensions over a 2-week period. Physical, social, environmental, and occupational dimensions all affect a student's GPA. Whereas wellness is as much habitual as it is learned, the authors make a case for wellness education in hospitality programs. Moreover, there is evidence to support a relationship between wellness and both individual and corporate values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
