Service workers' emotional labor, job stress, job attitudes, and job performance: A meta-analytic review

Chang, Ya-Ting 20 July 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to integrate the past studies of the consequences of emotional labor via meta-analysis. We tested the relationships between emotional labor, job pressure, job attitudes, and job performance outcomes. Besides, we analyzed the effects of three potential moderators on above relationships: service categories (service relationship/service encounter) and sources of performance ratings (self-rating/ independent-rating). We included 31 independent studies in our meta-analysis and applied Hunter & Schmidt¡¦s (2004) approach to calculate the effect size for testing our hypothesis. Results revealed that surface acting was positively related to emotional exhaustion and negatively related to organization commitment. In addition, deep acting was positively related to job satisfaction, organization commitment and service performance. Finally, Service categories moderated the relationships between surface acting, job satisfaction and service performance. Implication for practices and suggestion for future research are also discussed.

The Simultaneous Effects of Fit With Organizations, Groups, and Jobs on Job Satisfaction, Job Performance, and Job Change Intention: A Case Involving food and beverage employees in the hotel industry in Taiwan

Huang, Pei-wen 20 July 2004 (has links)
SAbstract tudies have shown that person-organization (PO) fit and person-job (PJ) fit will affect an individual¡¦s work attitude. In addition, person-group (PG) fit has commonly been reported as a determinant to job performance and satisfaction. PO, PG or PJ fit can explain work variability separately, however, identification of their relationship will add to our understanding of why job performance, job satisfaction or job change intention differs in different levels of fit. This work will assist in the development of job congruence strategies to improve productivity and reduce turnover rates. This study examined if a directional relation exists among PO, PG and PJ fit and their impacts on job satisfaction, job performance and job change intention. The participants in this study are food & beverage employees in the hotel industry in Taiwan. This study asked 21 cooperating hotels to choose one restaurant. Questionnaires were sent to all employees in the restaurant. The valid returned questionnaire sample was 340. The Spearman Correlation was used to analyze the fitness between the person and each level of environment. Multiple Regression was used to analyze the impact of each level of fit on job attitude. The findings showed that the higher the PO, PG and PJ fit, the higher the job satisfaction and performance and the lower the job change intention. Moreover, employees tradeoff different levels of fit in determining their job attitude. That is to say, PO, PG and PJ fit have independent and interactive impacts on job satisfaction, job performance and job change intention.

Lai, Hsin-ping 08 July 2005 (has links)
During the expansion of service quality research in the early 1980s, Berry (1980,1983) and Grőnroos (1981, 1983) develop a business concept with the central aim of achieving a customer-focused workplace and, in turn, providing high quality service for end customers. So there are lots of researches focus on the relationship between internal marketing and customer orientation, and there is no exception of this research. Through this research, we want to realize besides organization policy, which we mean internal marketing, if personal values, which we mean employee work values, can help employees understand and be more customer-oriented? Besides, we find there are lots of discussions about the relationship of internal marketing and customer-orientation behavior, but there are few examine the relation. So we put employee job performance in our research to measure individual contribution. The data of this research is obtained from personal finance operators of seven banks. We use structural equation model (SEM) and Pearson correlation to find the relationships among internal marketing, work value, customer-orientation behavior and job performance. This research finds that internal marketing will positively influence customer-orientation behavior through work values, and internal marketing can directly and positively influence employee job performance. So, based on the results of this research, managers can focus some work values to be criteria recruiting employees. Or more constructively, managers can design some systems to help employee ¡§re-socialize¡¨ to chage or create their work values.

Linking Knowledge Management to Job Performance:Examining Organization Culture Perception and Growth Need Strength as Moderators

Liu, Kuang-Ming 27 August 2005 (has links)
Abstract Intangible resources are the sources of competitive advantage in the knowledge economy. Knowledge management (KM) is popular within the businesses. With increasing investment in KM projects, companies are looking forward to find better ways to obtain the competitive advantage. KM literature also highlights the fact that the achievement of sustained competitive advantage depends on its knowledge-based resources. Even though many people believe that technology is the main driving force of transformation. In fact, technology merely brings superficial change or allows people to perform routine jobs fasters. In this sense, the objective of research on knowledge management should not overlook the fact that an enterprise is operated by many official and unofficial units, which are formed by people. The discussion on knowledge management should be focused on people as the subject. This thesis restudy Nonaka¡¦s SECI model of knowledge creation and its constraints, we revisit the fundamental points of tacit knowledge in the model and provide a critical review on the role for business organization. First, in the discussion of knowledge creation, this study argues that the capabilitie of knowledge creating is the most important source for firms to get competitive advantage. Based on the literature on KM, we thought the competitive advantages come from continue improvement in business, and the ideas of improve are from Km of both organization and individual. So, the total KM is complete explain for getting competitive advantage than only knowledge creation. Secondly, we review the situation of the SECI model fit the business current KM project, and develop a framework to assess the relationship of KM activities between organization and individual. Focuses on verifying the relationship between the organization and individual knowledge management. The framework uses a set of key KM activities by IPO model as lead indicators within KM flow. To prevent the discussion of ¡§knowledge¡¨ limited to ¡§technology¡¨, this study is based on the objective and subjective opinions to discuss the shift context of the tacit and explicit knowledge. The formation of the knowledge cycle based on this context, the generation, transformation and shift of knowledge from the knowledge cycle. The organizational KM activities include acquiring, re-engineering and extending. The personal KM activities include creating, application and sharing. The results show that organizational knowledge management has positive correlation with individual knowledge management, but the knowledge type and focus of the knowledge management differ. Therefore, the key of successful knowledge transformation is to keep the individual and organizational goal consistent. The organizational and individual knowledge management should both focus on improving the work. The scenario interference results show that employees¡¦ perception of organizational culture has significant interference effect on work performance due to knowledge management. During the knowledge management promotion process, the organizational culture perception is reflected on the mental perception and behaviors of the employees, thus, the context performance and task performance. As verified by research hypotheses, higher ¡§perception of innovative culture¡¨ leads to more obvious interference to ¡§individual creation and sharing of knowledge¡¨ and ¡§task and context performance¡¨. Higher ¡§perception of supportive culture¡¨ leads to more obvious interference to ¡§individual utilization and sharing of knowledge¡¨ and ¡§task and context performance¡¨. On the other hand, though the direct effects of ¡§growth need strength¡¨ on ¡§Job performance¡¨ has been supported, it shows that its reciprocal interaction with ¡§individual creation and sharing of knowledge¡¨ has no effect on ¡§task and context performance¡¨.

The Influence of Employee Participation In Decision Making on the Job Satisfaction and Job Performances¡ÐAn Empirical Study of China Steel Corporation

Chen, Jung-kuei 13 June 2007 (has links)
Employee participation in decision making¡]PDM¡^is ¡§ a conscious and intended effort by individuals at a higher level in an organization to provide visible extra-role or role-expanding opportunities for individuals or groups at a lower level in the organization to have greater voice in one or more areas of organizational performance¡¨. Thus¡Ait is important especially for vertical hierarchical organizations. Many employee participation programs are applied such as quality circle¡B suggestion system¡Bemployee ownership program¡Bemployee who is a representative on the board of directors . Many researchers supported some contributions through PDM programs on organization performances such as cost reduction and quality improvement. PDM also provides job satisfaction and job performance on individual in some reports . But some researchers studied from meta- analysis concluded that¡¨ PDM can have statistically significant effects¡Abut the average size of this effects is too small to be valuable¡¨. Some researches viewed PDM as a medium only for information change and knowledge expansion. PDM is necessary and sufficient although it could not affect satisfaction or performance directly. The data is collected from China Steel Company that has 8750 employees. This company is transformed from government ownership therefore there are many PDM activities. We used questionnaires to ask employee and study the relations between PDM and job performance¡Bjob satisfaction. This study we found there is small effects on individual performance and satisfaction. We also found information participation¡]change¡Binteraction¡^can affect PDM activities each other and can explain internal satisfaction of individual. From this study we could find internal satisfaction affects contextual performance that is the base of good task performance We conclude it is most important to perform PDM activities and encourage employee to join. This is one of key factors for competition in the industry.
