ABSTRACT Customer entitlement is a customer-related stressor faced by service employees when serving customers who expect special treatment, preferential rewards, and extra consideration. We examine a model in which service employees respond to customer entitlement using emotion regulation and conceding service behaviour, and these responses in turn relate to employee burnout. This indirect effect of customer entitlement on burnout is proposed to be conditional on employees’ customer sovereignty belief (i.e., belief that customers have power over service employees and customer demands should be satisfied to the greatest extent). Results of two survey studies, one daily diary study with taxi drivers, and one time-lagged survey with university students working in various service jobs, support that employees use surface acting and conceding service behaviour in response to customer entitlement, customer sovereignty belief moderates the effect of customer entitlement on these responses as well as the indirect effect of customer entitlement on burnout. Employees low on customer sovereignty belief experience greater emotional exhaustion and depersonalization via surface acting, whereas employees high on this belief report higher levels of personal accomplishment via conceding service behaviour. These findings contribute to our understanding of when and why customer entitlement has positive and negative implications for service employees.
