“…The finding that surface acting may be particularly emotionally exhausting suggests that the interventions aimed at minimizing teacher burnout should focus on the mood regulation skills. As it was stated earlier, teaching involves immense amounts of emotional labor and for that reason it is impossible for teachers not to use their emotions at work [12,13].…”

“…Recent research has also focused on teachers as "emotional laborers" [2,[9][10][11]. It has been stressed that emotional involvement is an integral part of the teaching profession [1,[12][13][14][15][16]. A significant majority of the teaching workforce is represented by women, which clearly corresponds with the fact that emotional labor is typical of those professions which are feminized [3,17].…”

“…It is quite plausible that in the case of teachers, emotional labor may take both directions -for instance, a teacher may put on a positive expression to show his/her enthusiasm while conducting the most important stressors in the teachers' work environment [25]. These relations are very emotional in nature [13] and thus, to a large extent, linked to teachers' emotion management skills. Therefore, Polish research to date provides excellent context for the analysis of the role of empathy and emotional labor in the development of burnout among teachers.…”

Objectives: The present study was designed to examine the links between empathy, emotional labor (both surface and deep acting), and emotional exhaustion as well as determine if emotional labor mediates the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion in teachers. It was assumed that emotional labor can take two opposite directions (positive mood induction and negative mood induction). Thus, the additional aim of the study was to analyze the mediating role of mood regulation strategies in the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion. Materials and Methods: A sample of 168 teachers from Łódź and its surroundings completed a set of questionnaires: Emotional Labor Scale; Mood Regulation Scales, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Empathic Sensitivity Scale. Results: The results provided mixed support for the hypotheses indicating that both types of emotional labor, negative mood induction and emotional exhaustion were positively intercorrelated. Moreover, deep acting was a significant mediator in the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion. The analyzed link was also mediated by negative mood induction, whereas positive mood induction did not emerge as a significant mediator. Conclusions: The study provided insight into the role of empathy and emotional labor in the development of teacher burnout. It also confirmed that deep acting and negative mood induction mediate the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion in teachers.

“…They need to beware of inducting newcomers and part-time academics into outdated approaches and should consider the effects on job satisfaction. 9 Furthermore, teachers increasingly need to consider student expectations with regard to standards and methods of teaching. Today's dental students may well have experienced 'learner-centred' methods in schools 10 and find more passive methods of learning such as lectures de-motivating.…”
