“…On the other hand, there are inconsistent findings in literature regarding this relationship which was investigated on different samples such as private sector workers ( Chan, 2009 ), customer service employees ( Pelosi, 2015 ), nurses ( Mauno et al, 2016 ; Han S. S. et al, 2018 ), school foodservice employees ( Heo and Lee, 2015 ), incubation centre managers ( Kim et al, 2015 ), service sector employees ( Öngöre, 2019 ), retail bank and insurance company employees ( Yoo, 2016 ), salespeople ( Yoo and Jeong, 2017 ), and full time workers who participated in a management training course ( Wang et al, 2010 ). There are also studies conducted on teachers ( Saleem et al, 2018 ; Shukla and Pandey, 2019 ; Çarıkcı, 2020 ; Košir et al, 2020 ).
