Linking organizational resources and work engagement to employee performance and customer loyalty: the mediation of service climate.
2005
This study examined the mediating role of service climate in the prediction of employee performance and customer loyalty. Contact employees (N = 342) from 114 service units (58 hotel front desks and 56 restaurants) provided information about organizational resources, engagement, and service climate. Furthermore, customers (N = 1,140) from these units provided information on employee performance and customer loyalty. Structural equation modeling analyses were consistent with a full mediation model in which organizational resources and work engagement predict service climate, which in turn predicts employee performance and then customer loyalty. Further analyses revealed a potential reciprocal effect between service climate and customer loyalty. Implications of the study are discussed, together with limitations and suggestions for future research.
