Over the last 30 years the profession of executive housekeeping has passed from the realm of art to that of scientific management. Previously, professional housekeepers learned technical skills related to keeping a clean house. Now, the execu- tive housekeeper and other housekeeping supervisory personnel are not only learning how to do such work but also how to plan, organize, staff, direct, and control housekeeping operations. They are learning how to in- spire others to accomplish this with a high degree of quality, concern, and commitment to efficiency and cost control. In order to understand how the art melds with the science, we will trace the origins of professional housekeeping and of scientific management.
Origins of Hospitality and Housekeeping
Hospitality is the cordial and generous reception and en- tertainment of guests or strangers, either socially or com- mercially. From this definition we get the feeling of the open house and the host with open arms, of a place in which people can be cared for. Regardless of the reasons people go to a home away from home, they will need care. They will need a clean and comfortable place to rest or sleep, food service, an area for socializing and meeting other people, access to stores and shops, and se- cure surroundings.
Americans have often been described as a people on the move, a mobile society; and since their earliest his- tory Americans have required bed and board. Travelers
