Abstract
Increasing proportions of students are working part‐time in industries such as hospitality. To understand more about this phenomenon, 11 case studies of hospitality establishments employing a significant proportion of students were compiled by matching data provided by managers and students working in these establishments. Concludes that employers’ employment of student labour could be a combination of strategic choice and pragmatic response ‐ a kind of pragmatic strategy that may be tantamount to a “coincidence of varying interests”.Keywords
