On the costs and benefits of emotional labor: A meta-analysis of three decades of research.

Abstract: This article provides a quantitative review of the link of emotional labor (emotion-rule dissonance, surface acting, and deep acting) with well-being and performance outcomes. The meta-analysis is based on 494 individual correlations drawn from a final sample of 95 independent studies. Results revealed substantial relationships of emotion-rule dissonance and surface acting with indicators of impaired well-being (ρs between .39 and .48) and job attitudes (ρs between -.24 and -.40) and a small negative relations… Show more

“…The analysis of the literature shows that these problems are related to surface acting in particular, due to the fact that inhibition or suppression of the "true" emotions require more energy and resources than displaying emotions evoked through deep acting strategy [33][34][35]. Some researchers even claim that the consequences of deep acting may not only be less negative, but also beneficial for the employees' well-being [31,32,36]. For example, deep acting was that emotional labor may take two different directions, we expected that positive mood induction and negative mood induction will also mediate the empathy and emotional exhaustion link.…”

“…We infer that the reason of this result is due to the characteristics of emotional labor. Emotional labor showed strong, positive associations with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (Hulsheger & Schewe, 2011). When employee's jobs require great emotional labor, they are not only stressful but also exhausted emotionally and depersonalized seriously.…”
