摘要

PurposeDrawing on the branded service encounters perspective, the purpose of this study is to investigate how frontline service employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors affect customers' brand evaluations.Design/methodology/approachThe research conducted two experiments. The first experiment explored the effect of frontline service employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors on customers' brand evaluations via corporate hypocrisy. The second experiment explored the moderation effect of employees' prototypicality and the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) among customers.FindingsExperiment 1 indicates that for firms with a green brand image, frontline employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors result in customers' perception that the firm is hypocritical, thus reducing their brand evaluations. Experiment 2 shows that employee prototypicality and CSR importance to the customer enhance the negative impact of frontline employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors on customers' brand evaluations through customers' perception of corporate hypocrisy.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is one of the first efforts to explore how frontline service employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors affect customers' responses. It helps understand the impact of frontline employees' counter-productive sustainable behaviors on customers' brand perception, as well as the relationship between CSR and employees.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that firms' green brand image does not always lead to positive customer response. When frontline employees' behaviors are inconsistent with firms' green brand image, it can trigger customers' perceptions of corporate hypocrisy and thus influence their brand evaluations. Therefore, firms should train frontline service employees to make their behaviors align with the firms' green brand image.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first efforts to explore how frontline service employees' environmentally irresponsible behaviors affect customers' responses. It helps understand the impact of frontline employees' counter-productive sustainable behaviors on customers' brand perception, as well as the relationship between CSR and employee.
