Salespeople's Job Stress: Exploring Stress Contagion From Salespeople to Customers
Based on an experimental study, we investigate whether and how the frontline employee’s experience of work stress is transmitted to the customer in a service encounter, and if so, whether this transmission is accompanied by negative customer reactions (e.g., dissatisfaction with the service, intention to postpone the purchase, intention to engage in negative word-of-mouth, intention to avoid the store in the future).
