Abstract

Customer facing roles in hospitality and other service domains have long been associated with emotional challenge and the need for deployment of interpersonal skills in varied and often complex situations. The daily uplifts and ‘hassles' experienced as a consequence of social exchange have been reported to engage and repel respectively those who work in the service sector, determining individuals' immediate behavioural outcomes and shaping their attitudes that influence their longer term commitment and well-being.
