Undoubtedly loyal customers can drive business success; however, companies need to realize that they cannot build a solid loyal customer base without having loyal employees (Durkin, 2005). In service industry, frontline employees are organizational representatives that directly interact with customers and perform role of boundary spanning (Beony, 1996). The attitudes and behaviors of frontline employees influence customer perceptions of service quality (Bowen & Schneider, 1985), which in turn influences customers on future purchase decisions.Retaining committed employees is pivotal in today's competitive environment (Alexandrov, Babakus, & Yavas, 2007), as committed employees work harder and perform better (e.g., Babakus, Yavas, Karatepe, & Avci, 2003; Meyer & Allen, 1997; Mowday, Porter, & Dubin, 1974). The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, for instance, has been achieving service excellence through successfully implementing its Gold Standards, with both organizational commitment to employees and management commitment to service quality interwoven throughout its service culture. Studies have suggested that (service quality) programs are more likely to succeed if a strong management commitment is present (Reeves & Hoy, 1993; Rogers, Hunter, & Rogers, 1993). Furthermore, competitive service companies such as The Ritz-Carlton understand importance of taking care of their employees' well-being. DeCotiis and Jenkins (1986) noted that employees develop organizational commitment over time through management concern for employee satisfaction and commitment to employee career development. The purpose of this study is to investigate mediating role of affective commitment between management commitment to service quality, organizational commitment to employees and employee perceived service quality.Literature Review and Development of HypothesesAffective CommitmentOrganizational commitment is defined as the relative strength of an individual's identification with and involvement in a particular (Mowday, Porter, & Steers, 1982, p.27). It has sparked a widespread interest in domain of organizational behavior (e.g., Brown, 1996; Fu, Bolander, & Jones, 2009; Grant, Dutton, & Rosso, 2008; Meyer & Allen, 1991; Mowday, Porter, & Steers, 1982; Porter & Crampon., 1976; Steers, 1977). Meyer and Allen (1991) further conceptualized organizational commitment as a multidimensional construct consisting of three components: affective, continuance, and normative commitment. The threecomponent model has received considerable attention from scholars and researchers ever since (e.g., Culpepper, 201 1; Eisenberger, Stinglhamber, Becker, Karagonlar, et al., 2010; Gardner, Wright, & Moynihan, 201 1; Jaros, Jermier, Koehler, & Sincich, 1993; Lings & Owen, 2007; Morin, Vandenberghe, Boudrias, Madore, et al., 201 1; Vandenberghe & Bentein, 2009).Meyer and Allen (1991) noted that employees with continuance commitment need to stay with their organizations if costs of leaving organization are to be avoided. Some employees feel that they are obliged and ought to remain once normative commitment dominates. Affective commitment, defined as the employee's emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in (Meyer & Allen, 1997, p. 67), is type of organizational commitment to be most beneficial and 'right kind' of commitment for an organization (Iverson & Buttigieg, 1999). Affective commitment has been positively related to work effort and performance (e.g., Bycio, Hackett, & Allen, 1995; Luchak & Gellatly, 2007; Vandenberghe, Bentein, & Stinglhamber, 2004), and negatively related to absenteeism, intention to leave, workplace stress, and turnover (e. …" @default.
