Abstract

Purpose - Hospitableness is one of the oldest concepts that define human interactions. Many conceptual and empirical studies have discussed and attempted to capture what this concept means. Some recent studies measured what hospitableness means; however, the cultural differences in hospitableness have not been documented empirically. The current study measured what hospitableness means in Turkish culture.
