Abstract

This aims of this study were to test an instrument designed to elicit 'service predispositions' of workers and then to make a comparison of these predispositions between nurses and hospitality foodservers. Initial results of the psychometric properties of the Service Predisposition Instrument (SPI) were encouraging. Therefore, the service attitudes of nurses from two National Health Service Trusts were compared with those of hospitality foodservice workers in two large hotels. Overall, both groups were found to have similar positive service predispositions. However, significant differences were present between groups for certain service dimensions.
