Exploring Experiences of Customer Incivility and Appraisal with Cluster Analysis: Coping Strategies and Psychological Adaptation between Different Patterns among Public Transit Frontline Employees / 顧客不文明行為與評估的集群型態在因應策略、心理適應之差異—以大眾運輸業站務人員為例

碩士 / 國立政治大學 / 心理學系 / 107 / Drawing on the stress, appraisal, and coping process of transactional theory of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), the present study aims to explore patterns of individual response to customer incivility. 166 public transit frontline employees in Taiwan completed a cross-sectional survey of customer incivility, appraisal, coping strategies, emotional exhaustion, psychological well-being and Chinese Health Questionnaire. Cluster analysis revealed interindividual differences in appraisals of customer incivility experiences, which comprised four types of patterns: (1) low customer incivility frequency and low appraisals;(2) high customer incivility frequency and low appraisals;(3) low customer incivility frequency and high appraisals;(4) high customer incivility frequency and high appraisals. There are significant differences in the use of coping strategies and psychological adaptational outcomes among different “customer incivility-appraisal” patterns of employees. Finally, multinomial logistic regression analysis findings suggest that marital status, confrontation/complaints coping, social support seeking, emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being are predictors of different patterns of employees. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings, limitations and future directions are discussed.
