顾客感知的员工情绪劳动对其购买行为的影响——以家居零售企业为例

Research on the Impact of Emotional Labor that Consumer Awarded on Their Purchase Behavior——Taking a Home Retail Enterprise as An Example

服务业在国民经济中发挥着非常重要的作用,而对于低科技高接触的家居零售企业,其产品定制化、价值高等特征使顾客在购买过程中更需要员工进行微笑服务和热情推荐,以满足顾客的个性化需求,这就使得情绪劳动更显重要。情绪劳动作为一个人力资源领域的概念,在以往研究中聚焦于对员工和组织的影响,较少涉及其对顾客的影响。以家居零售企业为例,构建关于顾客感知的员工情绪劳动、顾客参与、顾客反应与顾客认同之间的模型,并进行实证分析可以发现,表层表演、深层扮演、真实表达通过顾客参与作为部分中介正向影响顾客感知服务质量、顾客满意和购买意向;顾客认同在顾客参与和顾客反应中起调节作用,顾客认同度越高,顾客参与对顾客反应的正向影响越强;顾客感知服务质量正向影响顾客购买意向与顾客满意。因此,为更好地提高顾客的认同度,企业一定要认识到顾客参与的重要性,在招聘、培训及日常工作中重视员工情绪管理能力,在经营活动中注意营造和谐舒适的服务环境,注重承担社会责任,树立良好企业形象。
