Abstract

Emotional labor may lead to service failure in service industries. Managers of an organization or a company can contribute to service recovery by reducing stress related to emotional labor. The aim of this study is to identify the antecedents and consequences of service recovery in respect of emotional labor. Data was surveyed from frontline employees to achieve the research purpose. The hypotheses were examined empirically using statistical tools. Results are as follows. First, surface acting had a negative impact on service recovery performance and deep acting had a positive impact. Second, empowerment and motivation had an influential relationship positively on service recovery performance. Third, service recovery performance was negatively related to intention to quit. In conclusion, managing employees' emotional labor strategies and work environment will bring high service recovery performance and low intention to quit.

서비스 분야에서 감정노동은 서비스 실패로 이어지는 경우가 많다. 기업 등 조직의 관리자들은 감정노동으로 인한 스트레스 등 부정적인 효과를 줄여서 서비스 회복으로 이어지게 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 감정노동과 관련된 선행요인 및 후행요인들이 서비스 회복과 어떠한 관련성을 가지고 있는지 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구목적을 위해 특히 현장에서 일하는 일선 직원들을 대상으로 데이터를 수집하였다. 이후 통계도구 등을 이용하여 실증적으로 가설을 분석하고 그 결과를 나타내었다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 표면 행위는 서비스 회복에 부정적으로, 내면 행위는 서비스 회복에 긍정적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 권한위임과 동기부여는 서비스 회복에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 셋째, 서비스 회복으로 인해 이직의도가 유의하게 낮아지는 효과를 거두는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 현장 직원들의 감정노동과 근무환경에 대한 대처방법을 적절히 시행함으로써 서비스 회복 성과를 높이고 이직의도를 낮출 수 있을 것이다.
