“…A closer look at the literature reveals several gaps and shortcomings of language teachers’ emotional labour studies. Most studies have explored teachers’ emotional labour at the start of the pandemic, when teaching approaches had to suddenly switch to online teaching, without addressing the complexity of teachers’ emotions in their teaching during the later stage of the pandemic (Tsang & Wu, 2022). Besides, scarce studies have investigated the emotional labour of secondary school EFL teachers in online teaching, especially in the Chinese context (Liu et al., 2021).…”

Foreign language teachers’ management of their emotional expression has a significant impact on their classroom teaching and professional development. As the demand for online education continues to grow, researchers are increasingly paying attention to the emotional situations of teachers in online teaching. However, there has been minimal research on secondary school English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers, particularly during the COVID‐19 pandemic when online teaching became the norm. By combining two lines of investigation, namely, emotional labour and emotion regulation, this study aimed to explore the emotion labour of EFL teachers in online teaching during the pandemic. As a qualitative case study, this research recruited 12 secondary school EFL teachers as participants. Drawing from semi‐structured interviews and reflective journals, this paper revealed the nuanced dilemma of EFL teachers’ emotional labour, the emotional rules they followed and the emotional regulation strategies they applied in their online teaching. This study also explored the complexity of the online learning environment in relation to EFL teachers’ emotional labour and analysed the characteristics of teachers’ emotional labour in online teaching compared to face‐to‐face classroom teaching. The findings confirmed that the change in the teaching situation affected teachers’ emotional labour and underlined the importance of self‐emotional management. At the end, this paper called for more attention to the emotional demands of online teaching to cultivate an emotionally healthy environment for EFL teachers.

“…De lo anterior se desprende que el "soporte o apoyo social" y la "autonomía o control sobre el trabajo" son condiciones que anteceden y posibilitan la emergencia del "sentido del trabajo", el cual, a su vez, es fundamental en las experiencias de satisfacción y bienestar de los profesores. En línea con esto, investigaciones cualitativas actuales han ilustrado la fuerte relación entre la construcción de sentidos en torno al trabajo y la emergencia de estados afectivos satisfactorios entre los profesores, y también han reportado el modo en que la ausencia del sentido puede derivar en experiencias de alienación laboral que incluyen sensaciones displacenteras, como impotencia, aislamiento y falta de autorrealización en el trabajo (Santoro, 2011;Tsang, 2019;Kwong, 2016;Wu, 2022).…”

RESUMEN El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el rol moderador y mediador que el ‘sentido del trabajo’ ejerce en la ‘satisfacción laboral’ percibida por profesores. Para cumplir este objetivo, se emplearon las respuestas de cuestionarios auto-reportados por 4.813 profesores chilenos. A partir de esta base de datos y siguiendo la propuesta de A. Hayes se realizaron ‘Análisis de Moderación’ y ‘Análisis de Mediación’. Los resultados obtenidos entregan evidencia en favor del rol moderador y mediador del ‘sentido del trabajo’, constituyéndose en una variable que favorece la satisfacción laboral de los profesores. Al concluir, se discuten las implicancias de los resultados obtenidos, sus limitaciones y futuras líneas de investigación.
