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.

서비스접점에서의 고객참여는 상호작용과정에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 고객참여는 고객-서비스제공자 간의 관계발전에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 지난 선행연구들은 단편적이고 횡단적인 접근을 통해 고객참여의 역할을 밝히고 있지만, 관계의 역동성을 고려한다면, 장기적 관점에서 고객참여의 역할을 규명할 필요가 있다. 또한, 고객참여의 선행변수와 후행변수가 겹치는 문제에 대해서도 그 원인을 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 관계적 변수의 핵심인 신뢰와 몰입을 중심으로 종단적 관점에서 고객참여가 어떻게 관계발전에 영향을 미치는지를 밝힘으로써 고객참여의 관계적 역할을 확인하고자 한다. 이에 종단적 자료를 통해 고객참여의 관계적 역할을 회귀분석을 통해 분석하고자 한다. 연구의 결과, 신뢰(t1)와 몰입(t1) 중 몰입이 고객참여에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 신뢰(t1)는 개인적 상호작용 및 책임 있는 행동과 같은 고객참여의 하위차원에 직접적으로긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 신뢰와 몰입의 영향을 받은 고객참여(t2)는 다시 신뢰(t3)와 몰입(t3)에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 고객참여는 관계적 변수들에 의해 영향을 받지만, 상호작용과정을 통해 다시 관계적 변수들을 향상시킬 수 있는 주요한 요인임을 알 수 있다. 서비스기업은 고객의 정보교환 및 상호작용 욕구를 이끌어 내고 이를 활용함으로써 고객과의 관계발전을 모색할 수 있다.

Online customer reviews (i.e., electronic word-of-mouth) has gained considerable interest over the past years. However, a knowledge gap exists in explaining the mechanisms among the factors that determine the product sales in online retailing environment. To fill the gap, this study adopts a principal-agent perspective to investigate the effect of customer reviews and customer incentives on product sales in online retail stores. Two customer review factors (i.e., average review ratings and the number of reviews) and two customer incentive factors (i.e., price discounts and special shipping offers) are used to predict product sales in regression analysis. The sales ranking data collected from the video game titles at Amazon.com are used to analyze the direct effects of the four factors and the interaction effects between customer review and customer incentive factors to product sales. Result reveals that most relationships exist as hypothesized. The findings support both the direct and interaction effects of customer reviews and incentive factors on product sales. Based on the findings, discussions are provided with regard to the academic and practical contributions.
