영문 초록

Based on data collected from ten five-star hotel frontline employees in Busan, we developed and tested a model investigating the structural relationships among empowerment (job resource), customer verbal aggression (job stressor), and emotional exhaustion (job strain). We also incorporated customer orientation (personal coping resource) into the model and tested its moderating role. This study used structural equation modeling to investigate the research model and hypotheses. As hypothesized, empowerment decreased customer verbal aggression and emotional exhaustion. The results revealed that customer verbal aggression intensified emotional exhaustion. Our findings further demonstrated that the positive amplifying effect of customer verbal aggression on emotional exhaustion was weaker for employees with high customer orientation as opposed to that with low customer orientation. The study concludes with a discussion of the empirical findings, theoretical contributions and managerial implications.
