Abstract

In an era of rapid development and growth of service industries, both researchers and practitioners have recognized that employee performance plays a critical role in the success of a service brand (Berry, 2000; Brakus et al., 2009; Keller, 2001; O’Cass and Grace, 2004). Indeed, customers’ perceptions of a service brand often depend on the behavior of frontline employees (Berry, 2000; Keller, 2001; Morhart et al., 2009; O’Cass and Grace, 2003). Therefore, the role of frontline employees in ensuring organizational brand perceptions and outcomes is of particular importance for service firms (Berry, 2000; O’Cass and Grace, 2003).
