Customer misbehavior and store managers' work‐to‐family enrichment: The moderated mediation effect of work meaningfulness and organizational affective commitment
研究顾客不当行为如何通过降低工作意义感来削弱门店经理的工作-家庭增益,并发现组织情感承诺能缓冲这种负面影响,对零售企业管理者有参考价值。
With the growing research interest in work–family enrichment, this study explores how negative workplace phenomenon affects store managers' experience of work‐to‐family enrichment. Using two‐wave survey data collected from 156 retail store managers who had frequent interactions with customers, we found that customer misbehavior had a negative effect on their work‐to‐family enrichment through work meaningfulness. Furthermore, store managers' organizational affective commitment acted as an effective buffer on such negative relationship. Our findings thus fill in one missing piece in the current work–family enrichment literature and carry important implications for organizations to help retail store managers attain work meaningfulness and enrich their family life.
