 Emotional labor
• Emotional labor is a form of emotional
regulation wherein workers are expected to
display certain emotions as part of their
job, and to promote organizational goals.
• The intended effects of these emotional
displays are on other, targeted people, who
can be clients, customers, subordinates or co-
workers
 Emotional labour
• According to Hochschild, jobs involving
emotional labor are defined as those that:
– require face-to-face or voice-to-voice contact with
the public
– require the worker to produce an emotional state
in another person
– allow the employer, through training and
supervision, to exercise a degree of control over
the emotional activities of employees.
 Forms of emotional labor
• Employees can display organizationally-desired
emotions by acting out the emotion.
• Such acting can take two forms
– Surface acting
• involves "painting on" affective displays, or faking;
• Surface acting involves an employee's presenting emotions
on his or her "surface" without actually feeling them.
• The employee in this case puts on a facade as if the
emotions are felt, like a "personal".
– Deep acting
• wherein they modify their inner feelings to match the
emotion expressions the organization requires.
