- Abstract
Quality of life (QOL) is a construct which entails the different aspects of one's life. Even though several researchers and organizations have examined the meaning of QOL in many different ways, its definition still proves to be vague. In order to augment the comparability and consistency in various disciplines including sociology, economics, psychology, management and so on, this paper evaluates various definitions and formulates a new definition of QOL for tourism entrepreneurs by following the 7-step approach laid down in the definition theory. Conducting a qualitative analysis of certain words, themes, concepts, meanings, the new definition arrived at captures the essence of QOL for tourism entrepreneurs' thereby reducing the internal and external vagueness associated with the meaning. The new definition clarifies the ambiguities associated with the concept and will support academicians and researchers to gain an insight on the concept by applying the well-defined concept of QOL which in turn will solve several definition issues and add to the QOL literature.
