“…Among the wide range of different types of misbehaviour faced by frontline employees that is reported in the literature we find customer rage and violence (Grove et al, 2004), shoplifting (Babin and Babin, 1996), vandalism (Goldstein, 1996), sexual harassment (Gettman and Gelfand, 2007), drunkenness (Bitner et al, 1994), and illegitimate customer complaints (Reynolds and Harris, 2005). What is also reported is a growth in the number of violent incidents against frontline employees (Huefner and Hunt, 2000;Nelms, 1998;Rose and Neidermeyer, 1999), as well as increased aggression (Gabriel and Lang, 1997).…”
