Well-being as an antecedent of customer orientation: test of an exploratory model - 2019.


12

This article tests empirically the relationship between well-being at work and customer orientation. Drawing on social exchange theory, we hypothesize that the relationship between well-being and customer orientation is mediated by job satisfaction and organization affective commitment. The model is tested through two quantitative studies on samples of salespeople (n=161 and n=91). Results confirm the serial relationship between well-being, job satisfaction, affective organizational commitment and customer relationship. Theoretical and managerial implications are proposed.
