Abstract: | This article features two studies that examine the short- and long-term effects of job stressors on frontline service employees (FSEs). A conceptual model of two job stressors, crowding and emotional labor, is developed and tested using cognitive appraisal theory. One of the studies is a field experiment that investigates the short-term effects of crowding in a company. The findings are then extended in the second study to find the long-term effects of emotional labor and crowding on FSEs from multiple companies. The results indicate that both crowding and emotional labor have negative effects, with the former being short-term and the latter being long-term effects. Preventing these two phenomena from occurring too often improves FSE job outcomes and strategy coping. |
