Whereas much work has focused on the important roles of emotion labor and adaptive selling behaviors on improving sale performance, surprisingly no studies have examined how a service employee's emotion labor influences their sale performance by means of adaptive selling behaviors. In addition, research on emotion labor is growing; yet our understanding of the antecedents of emotion labor remains rather unclear. Thus, we explore the impacts of supportive climate and service orientation on the relationships between emotion labor, adaptive selling behaviors, and sale performance. This study demonstrated that, at the individual level, employees' service orientation was positively related to the emotional labor, which, in turn, positively predicted adaptive selling behaviors that improve their sale performance. Furthermore, store-level supportive climate was positively associated with individual emotion labor, and emotion labor further induced their adaptive selling behaviors. |
