Abstract: |
| This paper investigates first how taking exercises of front-line service workers is related to engagement and the customer helping behaviors, second how taking exercises of leaders influences their levels of contributions of the team, which strengthens the relationship between employees’ taking exercises and customer helping behaviors. Drawing upon conservation of resources theory, we test our multilevel model through an experience sampling study over 15 days. By taking an interactional approach, the results support the role of leaders’ exercises in leading their group-level contributions to the team, which moderates the individual-level relationship between employees’ taking exercises and customer helping behaviors via engagement. |
