This study applies the job-demands resource (JD-R) model to investigate the interactive effect of job demands and job resources in predicting the development of service employee work engagement and customer-oriented attitude. This paper proposed a theoretical model that suggests that the service employee's work engagement is the consequence of the employee's perceived support from the organization and its customers (customer participation) and leads to a customer-oriented attitude. However, the effect of organizational support is somewhat hindered by job insecurity, demonstrating the inability of an organizationally provided job resource to overcome the job demand of job insecurity. As a type of job demand from customer's perspective, customer crowding is suggested as a negative moderator in the link between customer participation and work engagement. As such, this article proposes how different elements of a service employee's work environment interact to ultimately influence the service employee's customer-oriented attitude. Specifically, the current research focuses on how the negative contextual elements of job insecurity and job crowding (i.e., job demands) interact with the potentially positive elements of organizational support and customer participation (i.e., job resources), as well as with an employee's customer orientation, to ultimately develop a customer-oriented attitude. This study concludes with some propositions for potential causal relationships among key constructs that can be empirically tested in future research, as well as implications of the current study for both managers and researchers.

본 연구는 서비스종업원의 공감능력에 영향을 미치는 영향요인과 결과요인에 대한 연구로서 서비스 기업의 입장에서 서비스 제공자의 공감능력을 강화시킴으로써 조직에 미치는 긍정적인 효과를 높이고, 부정적인 효과는 감소시키는데 초점을 두고 있다. 구체적인 연구의 목적을 제시하면, 첫째 서비스 종업원의 공감능력 즉, 인지적 공감과 정서적 공감의 영향요인으로 사회적 지원인 상사지원과 동료지원, 그리고 자기 위로능력의 요인을 제시하고자 한다. 즉, 사회적 지원과 자기위로 능력이 서비스 종업원의 공감능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 규명하고자 한다. 둘째, 서비스 종업원의 공감능력인 인지적 공감과 감정적 공감이 그들이 지각하는 직무스트레스에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 연구가설을 검증한 결과, 첫째, 사회적 지원은 상사지원과 동료지원으로 구분하였고, 공감능력은 인지적 공감과 감정적 공감으로 분류하였다. 사회적 지원과 공감능력간의 관계를 규명한 결과, 상사지원은 인지적 공감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있지 않았고, 반면, 동료 지원은 인지적 공감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 상사지원은 감정적 공감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 동료지원은 감정적 공감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 둘째, 서비스 종업원의 자기위로능력은 공감능력에 즉, 자기 위로능력은 인지적 공감과 감정적 공감 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 마지막으로 서비스 종업원의 공감능력(인지적 공감, 감정적 공감)은 서비스 종업원의 직무스트레스에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구는 서비스 종업원의 공감능력이 그들의 직무스트레스를 감소시키는 요인으로써 중요한 전략적 수단이 될 뿐만 아니라 서비스기업이 제공하는 사회적 지원과 서비스 종업원의 자기 위로능력이 종업원의 공감능력을 이끌어내는 의미있는 변수로써 작용할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 고객과의 접촉이 잦은 은행종업원들을 대상으로 감정노동전략 즉 내면행동과 표면행동, 종업원창의성 및 서비스성과 간 상호 관련성과 감정노동전략-서비스성과 관계에서 종업원창의성의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하는 것이다. 자료 수집은 대구와 경남 지역에서 은행에 근무하는 일선종업원을 모집단으로 하여 총 500부를 배포하여 불성실하게 응답한 설문지를 제외하고 최종 분석에는 484부를 사용하였다. 가설검증은 AMOS를 이용하였다. AMOS 분석 결과, 일선 서비스종업원의 감정노동전략 중 표면행동은 종업원창의성에 부의 영향을, 내면행동은 종업원창의성에 정의 영향을, 그리고 종업원창의성은 서비스성과에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 감정노동전략 즉 표면행동과 내면행동-서비스성과 관계에서 종업원창의성의 매개효과 분석에서 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이러한 조사결과를 바탕으로 이론적 및 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Past research indicates that TQM managerial practices are a critical determinant of employee's attitude and performance in the workplace. Therefore, this study investigates a model examining the relationship among TQM, employees' attitude and service performance in a hospital. Our measurement results were acceptable in terms of reliability and validity. The statistical testing shows significance on the positive relationship in the sequential order of TQM, employee's attitude and service performance. In conclusion, the theoretical and practical implications of this study were discussed, along with its limitations.

In a service process, the customer typically experiences two types of interactions; one is interaction with the physical ambiance (servicescape) and the other is with employees who may be responsible for the service process quality. The literature in general supports that process quality is a critical determinant for overall service quality and customer satisfaction. In this paper, we primarily examine how the servicescape intervenes the association between process quality and employee/customer satisfaction. The proposed models are tested. using the data collected from the major golf courses in Korea. The results suggest that improving process quality and servicescape have a positive influence on employee/customer satisfaction directly and/or indirectly, but the effect of servicescape may be stronger in the case of golf course businesses. Servicescape also contributes to improving process quality by enhancing employee satisfaction. These results collectively indicate that management emphasis on improving service quality without renovating physical surroundings may results in unsatisfactory outcome.

In order to promote foodservice for older adults, foodservice directors in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) must identify the dimensions used by residents to evaluate the service quality of dining service. A multidimensional measure of perceived service quality was developed based on residents' responses about their experiences with dining service. A survey was administered to residents in two CCRCs. Based on the results of principal component analysis, this study identified four dimensions: food quality, dining room employee's attitude and service skills, dining room employee's safety and cleanliness, and systemization of service delivery process. A new dimension that reflects residents' concern for the dining mom employees' safety and cleanliness also emerged. 1bis study points to areas of improvement for food quality and dining room employee's safety and cleanliness.

The introduction of self-service technologies (SSTs) in retail stores aims to provide customers with a more satisfying shopping experience. Many retailers are increasingly turning toward the adoption of self-service technologies in providing services directly to customers. Given that previous SST research has focused mainly on the impact of the introduction of SST on customer responses, the present study explored the impact of the presence of employees in the relationship between SST and customer responses. Based on the two ground theories, motivation-based theories of behavior and social impact theory, this study tested the relationships between shopping motivations, SST use intention, and retailer attitude. Moderating effects of the presence of employees on the three relationships were also tested. Data were collected using an online survey and analyzed through structural equations modeling. Test results showed that both hedonic and utilitarian shopping motivations effect on SST use intentions, and SST use intentions effect on retailer attitude, subsequently. Although the presence of employee did not moderate the relationship between shopping motivations and SST use intentions, the employee presence moderated the relationship between SST use intentions and retailer attitude. The impact of SST use intentions on retailer attitude was higher in the high presence of employee group than in the low group.

The study was done by survey method. Data of three hundred were collected by on-line survey. Descriptive analyses, factor analyses, Duncan tests, multiple regressions, and path analyses were applied to analyze data. The results were as follows: First, factor analysis produced five factors on men's beauty service quality. They were store environments and convenience, employee's skill, service efficiency, store management methods, and service fee. Second, men's service satisfaction on beauty shop and on beauty shop employee were significantly affected by all the beauty service factors. Third, men's intention to revisit beauty shop and to revisit beauty shop employee were positively and significantly affected by all the beauty service factors and satisfaction on beauty shop employee. In conclusion, men's satisfaction and, in turn, intention to revisit beauty service were affected mainly by evaluation on beauty service. To increase customer satisfaction followed by store loyalty, comfortable shop atmosphere and outstanding styling quality service are likely to be most important. Beauty service quality could be perceived in comparing with service fee. Thus, diverse ways of price related promotion would be required to improve beauty service satisfaction.
