Role stress, burnout and their effects on frontline hotel employees' job performance: evidence from Northern Cyprus

Abstract

Based on data obtained from frontline hotel employees in Northern Cyprus, this study investigated the effects of role stress and burnout on job performance. It was found that role ambiguity decreased job performance while role conflict enhanced job performance. The results indicated that diminished personal accomplishment exerted a significant negative influence on job performance whereas the rest of the burnout dimensions did not. The results further showed that both role conflict and ambiguity exacerbated emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation. Role ambiguity was found to have a significant positive relationship with diminished personal accomplishment whereas role conflict was not. Role conflict (ROLEC) Accordingly, the following hypotheses are proposed: 114 O. M. Karatepe and O. Uludag

But this condition will only appear when the working environment received aggregate stress levels that exceed the tolerance level.…”

The Development of Teachers’ Career in Relationship to OCB and Justice: A Study in Malaysia

“…Research on OCB has produced some interesting insights in organizational setting, but until recently the concept has been neglected in the study of schools . Most of OCB studies prefer to focus on employees who work in a commercial setting such as hotels (Khalid & Ali, 2005), banks (Karatepe & Uludag, 2008) and manufacturing industries (Hsieh & Hsieh, 2003) rather than employees who work in a non-commercial setting such as schools. OCB research in schools is still limited (DiPaola & Tschannen-Moran, 2001).…”
