La prostitution est une activité exercée par de nombreuses personnes prostituées afin de pouvoir subvenir à leurs besoins, comme c'est le cas pour toutes les personnes exerçant une activité professionnelle. Cette activité qui est imposable comme les autres activités professionnelles, n'est pas reconnue comme une profession. Malgré la reconnaissance de l'existence d'une prostitution volontaire, le législateur français ne permet pas aux personnes prostituées de conclure un contrat de travail ou d'entreprise relatif à la prostitution. Cependant, ces contrats leurs permettraient de bénéficier des régimes de protection sociale de la population active, donc d'améliorer leurs conditions de vie, car la santé des personnes prostituées est mise en péril par la nature de leur activité. L'étude des éléments constitutifs du contrat de prostitution, permet de constater que si l'évolution des mentalités s'accompagnait d'une réforme des textes relataifs aux actes liés à la prostitution, la conclusion de ces contrats serait envisageable. / Prostitution is an activity exercised by many people, in order to meet their needs, as it is for any person exercising any professional activity. Although this activity is taxable, as for any other work, it is not recognized as a profession. Despite the recognition of volunteer prostitution, French law does not allow prostitutes to conclude a work or buisness contract relative to prostitution. However, this type of contract waould allow them to enjoy the benefits of general social protection programs, and therefore to improve their life conditions, as the health of prostitutes is somehow endangered by the inner nature of this activity. The study of the components of the prostitution contract shows that, if the change the attidudes was accompagnied by a reform of laws relating to acts associated with prostitution, then the conclusion of these contracts would be possible.

Arab countries strive toward the modernization and feminization of the Arab culture; however, some of these countries (i.e., Saudi Arabia) are culturally and legally governed by "sharia law", and have maintained cultural norms regarding segregation of the sexes. In order to have a better understanding of the Arab travelers to the U.S., this research focuses on the gender dynamics between the service providers and Arab customers during a service encounter. Specifically, this research examines how the same and opposite genders of service-provider and customer influence Arab customers’ emotional response (comfort), consequently their service encounter evaluation (satisfaction), and behavioral intentions (feedback willingness). This research also examines how the employees’ efforts to solicit feedback from Arab customers may intensify the effect of gender dynamics on Arab customers’ responses. Scenario-based online surveys are created and distributed to respondents of Arab descent in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates by using snowball sampling. The results based on 326 respondents show potential differences determined by gender interaction. Arab customers were more comfortable, more satisfied with the service encounter, and more willing to provide feedback, if the employee was the same gender as the customer, as opposed to the employee being the opposite gender from the customer. However, results showed that employee efforts to solicit feedback did not intensify the gender interaction effect. Additionally, through the service encounter, the Arab customers’ comfort influenced their service encounter satisfaction and their willingness to provide feedback. The findings of this research provide valuable implications for hospitality managers to better cater to the needs of Arab customers by examining the dimensions of gender boundaries in an intercultural service encounter.
