Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to attempt to investigate how emotional labor strategies (i.e. surface acting and deep acting) affect job performance and turnover intention thorough emotional exhaustion. Another important objective of this study was to see whether perceived organizational support (POS) moderates the relationship between emotional labor strategies and emotional exhaustion. Structural equation modeling analysis provided support for the hypotheses from a sample of 225 China department store sales employees. The results revealed that surface acting has a positive influence on emotional exhaustion, whereas deep acting has not significant influence on emotional exhaustion. Second, emotional exhaustion has a negative influence on job performance, whereas it has a positive influence on turnover intention. In addition, the relationship between surface acting and job performance/turnover intention was significantly mediated by emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, perceived organizational supporting mitigated the negative relationship between deep acting and emotional exhaustion. The findings of this study contributed to the literature by identifying the relationship between surface and deep acting on employee outcomes (i.e. emotional exhaustion, job performance, turnover intention), especially in China. In addition, this study also confirmed the important buffering role of POS based on the norm of reciprocity between an organization and its members.

본 연구는 중국 백화점 판매원들이 판매과정에서 경험하게 되는 감정노동이 감정소모를 매개로 직무성과와 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 일상적 감정노동의 강도가 높은 백화점 판매사원 225명을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하여 자료를 수집하였고, 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 수집된 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 표면행위는 감정소모에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 내면행위는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 감정소모는 직무만족에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 이직의도에는 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지각된 조직지원은 내면행위가 감정소모에 미치는 정의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 검증결과를 기반으로 본 연구가 제시하는 이론적 시사점과 실무적 시사점을 논의하였다.
