“…Numerous studies have reported a significant relationship between job strain and a linear combination of TABP and job characteristics. Froggatt and Cotton 92 revealed that type A individuals experience more stress when their work load increases, and Choo 93 found a positive relationship between job stress and TABP. Fisher, 94 however, did not find a moderating effect of TABP on the relationship of role stress to job satisfaction and performance.…”

This literature review was conducted to investigate the association between emotional labor and burnout and to explore the role of personality in this relationship. The results of this review indicate that emotional labor is a job stressor that leads to burnout. Further examination of personality traits, such as self-efficacy and type A behavior pattern, is needed to understand the relationships between emotional labor and health outcomes, such as burnout, psychological distress, and depression. The results also emphasized the importance of stress management programs to reduce the adverse outcomes of emotional labor, as well as coping repertories to strengthen the personal potential suitable to organizational goals. Moreover, enhancing employees' capacities and competence and encouraging a positive personality through behavior modification are also necessary.

“…For example, previous research has examined the influence of individual differences including locus of control (Rahim and Psenicka 1996), self-efficacy , Type A behavior pattern (Froggatt and Cotton 1987), political skill (Jawahar et al 2007;Perrewé et al 2005), core self-evaluations (Harris et al 2009), and proactive personality (Cunningham and De La Rosa 2008) on the stress-strain relationship. Proactive personality is particularly relevant to how individuals perceive stressors and manage stress.…”

et al. 2011

Purpose This study examined how proactive personality interacts with inter-role conflict, measured as work-family conflict and family-work conflict, to predict burnout, measured as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Design/Methodology/Approach Participants were 171 clerical employees. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test whether proactive personality moderated the relationship between inter-role conflict and forms of burnout. Findings Family-work conflict was not associated with burnout, but work-family conflict explained 30% of unique variance in emotional exhaustion and 9% in depersonalization. Proactive personality explained 12% of variance in personal accomplishment. Three-way interactions indicated that at high levels of work-family conflict and family-work conflict, proactive individuals reported lower levels of emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment and higher levels of depersonalization than less proactive individuals. Implications While previous research has generally documented the virtues of proactive personality, our research indicates that when simultaneously faced with work-family and family-work conflict, individuals with proactive personality experience more depersonalization and less personal accomplishment relative to less proactive individuals. Overall, results of three-way interactions imply that while a certain level of proactive personality may be necessary to buffer feelings of emotional exhaustion, beyond a certain level, proactive personality may lead one to experience higher levels of depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Originality/Value This study extends previous research by examining the influence of two types of inter-role conflict on all three dimensions of burnout. It also responds to calls for additional research on potential moderators, buffers, or even antidotes to stress by examining how proactive personality interacts with stressors.

“…The results revealed a significant relationship between job tension and linear combination of Type A personality and job characteristics. Froggatt & Cotton (1987) observed that Type A people created more stress on themselves by increasing the volume of workload. et al, (1995) studied the direct and relative efficacy of cognitive hardiness, Type A behaviour pattern, coping behaviour and social support as predictors of stress and ill-health among 1,925 staff of an Australian University.…”
