Emotion Cycles in Services: Emotional Contagion and Emotional Labor Effects
In: Journal of service research, Band 22, Heft 3, S. 285-300
ISSN: 1552-7379
Service organizations encourage employees to express positive emotions in service encounters, in the hope that customers "catch" these emotions and react positively. Yet customer and employee emotions could be mutually influential. To understand emotional exchanges in service encounters and their influences on customer outcomes, the current study models the interplay of emotional contagion and emotional labor, as well as their influence on customer satisfaction. Employees might catch customers' emotions and transmit those emotions back to customers through emotional contagion, and employee emotional labor likely influences this cycle by modifying the extent to which emotional contagion occurs. Data from 268 customer-employee dyads, gathered from a large chain of foot massage parlors, confirm the existence of an emotion cycle. Deep acting, as one type of emotional labor used by employees, hinders the transmission of negative emotions to customers, whereas surface acting facilitates it. Both customer emotions and employee emotional labor thus have critical influences on service encounters. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the potential influence of customer preservice emotions and the presence of an emotion cycle during service delivery.

Customer sexual harassment and frontline employees' service performance in China
In: Human relations: towards the integration of the social sciences, Band 67, Heft 3, S. 333-356
ISSN: 1573-9716, 1741-282X
Despite researchers' increasing attention on customer sexual harassment, few studies have investigated its effects on the service performance of frontline employees. This study examined the link between customer sexual harassment, as perceived by frontline employees, and their service performance by focusing on the mediating role of difficulty in maintaining display rules and the moderating role of traditionality. The results from a field survey of 359 supervisor–subordinate dyads in a chain of restaurants in China provided evidence that difficulty in maintaining display rules mediates the negative relationship between customer sexual harassment and service performance. In addition, Chinese traditional values attenuate the relationship between customer sexual harassment and difficulty in maintaining display rules and the mediating effect of difficulty in maintaining display rules. Implications for theory, research and management practice are discussed.
CHINA AND APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF THE STATE IMAGE
In: Socialʹno-političeskie nauki: mežvuzovskij naučnyj recenziruemyj žurnal, Band 13, Heft 2, S. 144-151
The author attempts to identify how the image of the state is formed on the example of China. The article reveals theoretical approaches to the concept of "the image of the state" and demonstrates how it can be used in practice. In particular, the author examines the issues of symbols, stereotypes that are formed by the state. The author analyzes the influence of culture as the most important tool of "soft power" on the image of China. The article notes the significance of the semantic content of the political image, which can be compared with a kind of source, which at the subconscious level sets a certain angle of perception of new information about this political object. The choice of an image that will then be purposefully formed in the mass consciousness and forms the image of both all states in general and China in particular. And the more precisely the compliance of the environmental, political, economic, demographic and other situations in the country with the interests of the public is manifested, the more positive the image of the country, the more

Are RNA-Based Tests Sufficient for COVID-19 Diagnosis? An Inspiration of Three Asymptomatic Cases
In this work, we discovered a new phenomenon—asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, or covert case, during the pandemic. All the 3 patients had a history of exposure, with no symptoms, and no abnormalities were found in computed tomography scan or lab tests. Except for case 2, the other patients' severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) nucleic acid tests were negative. But their anti-SARS-COV-2 nucleocapsid antibody showed a dynamic trend, consistent with the process of virus infection and clearance. A growing number of asymptomatic or covert cases need more attention. Lack of surveillance may lead to another outbreak. We hope to demonstrate our cases to attract the attention of governments or health authorities that covert cases should be the focus as well.
