These days in modern society, the majority of people work in the service industry. In the case of workers who have contact with many customers, if a conflict with the customers takes place, it may be very stressful for the workers. This article is on ways of moderating such stress.
In a study I performed, I studied the effect that communicational competence of hotel employees has on worker stress. Simultaneously, I analyzed the moderating effects that organizational support has on this stress level.
I distributed many questionnaires and collected 265 of them. On these collected materials, I used SPSS 12.0 and carried out T-Test and ANOVA, Mutilateral Return Analysis and Moderating Return Analysis.
The results of this study are summarized as:
First, the study showed that communicational competence has a large influence on job stress, particularly in regards to adaptability and efficiency. That is, an employee who has excellent communicational competence is shown to have less job stress.
Second, the study showed that organizational support has moderating effects on the job stress related to poor communicational competence.
The important conclusions of this study are as follows:
First, this study showed the importance of communicational competence for employees dealing with customers. Accordingly, there is a need to improve communicational competence through teaching in order to deal with various circumstances when serving the customer.
Second, the necessity of organizational support is indicated in order to minimize the job stress taking place in communication with customers. Therefore, the construction of an organizational support system is needed. This can effectively manage the job stress that the employees suffer from.
