Abstract
Service workers who are paid in tips experience a
particular type of occupational uncertainty. It stems from
the lack of contract securing wages, When wages, the terms
of the work exchange, are not specified, then the outcome
of work exchange is uncertain. The attitude that develops
in response to uncertain exchange outcomes is defined as
occupational Vulnerability. It serves as the study's
dependent variable and is researched within the context of
waitress work.
