The mediating variable is ‘job stress’. while the dependent variables are ‘job satisfaction’ and ‘customer orientation’. There are eleven hypotheses, of which six were accepted. In this study, job satisfaction was positively affected by the servicescape’s ‘safety’ and ‘pleasantness’. Job satisfaction affects customer orientation, whereas the servicescape’s ‘safety’ indirectly affects job satisfaction by the mediating effect of job stress.
