This study focused on appreciative inquiry(AI) of salespeople who have to respond to various types of emotions according to the desires of individual customers at service contact points and the effect of emotional labor on adaptive selling behavior and customer satisfaction. Dyadic questionnaires were administerd to 115 automobile salespeople and 2 customers who received service from each salesperson, and the collected data was analyzed by using structural equation modeling. The results showed that AI had positive influences on deep acting and surface acting. Only deep acting was found to have positive relationship with adaptive selling behavior, but not to surface acting. Adaptive selling behavior had a positive effect on customer satisfaction. This study will contribute to identifying the need for AI access for salespersons and for activating adaptive selling behavior through emotional labor related to AI practice.

The Electron/Hole Pair is generated when the activation energy produced by ultraviolet ray illuminates to the semiconductor and OH- ion produced by water photocleavage reacts with positive Hole. As a results, OH radical acting as strong oxidant is generated and then Photocatalytic oxidation reaction occurs. The photocatalytic oxidation can oxidate the non-degradable and hazardous organic substances such as pesticides and aromatic materials easier, safer and shorter than conventional water treatment process. So in this study, many factors influencing the oxidation of chlorophenols, such as inorganic electrolytes addition, change of oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere, temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, chlorophenol concentration, were throughly examined. According to the experiments observations, it is founded that the rate of chlorophenol oxidation follows a first-order reaction and the modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood relationship. And the photocatalytic oxidation occurs only when activation energy acting as Electron/Hole generation, oxygen acting as electron acceptor to prevent Electron/Hole recombination, $TiO_2$ powder acting as photocatalyst are present. The effects of variation of dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature and inorganic electrolytes concentration on 2-chlorophenol oxidation are negligible. And the lower the organic concentration, the higher the oxidation efficiency becomes. Therefore, the photocatalytic oxidation is much effective to oxidation of hazardous substances at very low concentration. The oxidation is effective in the range of 0.1 g/L-10 g/L of $TiO_2$. Finally when the ultra-violet ray is illuminated to $TiO_2$, the surface characteristics of $TiO_2$ change and Adsorption/Desorption reaction on $TiO_2$ surface occurs.

A considerable amount of theoretical and empirical research has been done on the conceptualization of emotional labor, as well as its antecedents and consequences. The field, however, is lacking consistency respect to theory building and empirical findings, which suggests the need for more programmatic research. The main objective of this study is to build on prior research and further examine the theory, antecedents and consequences(service delivery level) of emotional labor, and to find out the relationship. In the results of empirical research, I found that two antecedent variables, job-related characters and display rules, influenced significantly employee perceived emotional labor. And both surface acting and deep acting have been found to have a influence on employees' service deliverly level, deep acting is more likely than surface acting to lead to service attitude of travel service provider. In business practices, more attention is needed in organizations' incentive programme and training considerations in jobs that have high demands. Despite these results, current studdy has its limitations. So, it may be interesting to further examine the relationship between emotional labor and control variables.

The purpose of this research is to verify that how Emotional Labor of surface acting and deep acting influences on work engagement and job burnout, effect on turnover intention, and customer orientation. It studies the effect of reward on manager at support centers for startup. The results of the study are that the surface acting do not influence on work engagement and job burnout and the deep acting has positive influence on work engagement and negative influence on job burnout. The work engagement has negative effect on turnover intention and affirmative effect on customer orientation. The reward can control work engagement and customer orientation of practicians at support centers for startup. This study decribes academic and practical meanings based on these results.

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.

This study investigated the effects of job demand-resource variables that appear in a special organizational environment such as a hospital on job burnout and job engagement using the job demands-resources model of Schaufeli & Bakker(2004). And also the study investigated to verify discriminatory mediating roles of emotional labor strategies in the process. The main finding of this study was as follows: Job demands-resources showed a positive relationship in the job burnout and job engagement, and job demands induced surface acting and job resources induced deep acting. However, deep acting showed a positive relationship to job engagement, and surface acting showed a negative relationship with job burnout unlike in previous study results, which was not significant. The results of verifying the meditation model through Boostrap showed that since the two indirect effects were not significant, the meditating role of emotional labor strategies was not verified in the effects of job demand-resource levels on job attitudes, including job burn out and job engagement.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among hoteliers' emotional labor like surface acting (SA) and deep acting (DA), job stress such as physical stress (PS) and mental stress (MS), and extra-role behavior (EB). Using data from 264 surveys collected from five-star hotels' employees, the author empirically tested the research model. Main results on applying structural equation analysis are as follows. (1) SA had positive impacts on both PS and JS while DA was negatively significant on only MS. (2) ER was influenced by DA while there was no significance on SA. (3) MS was negatively related to ER, and PS was also significantly effective; however, the estimate of PS indicated a positive correlation unlike theoretical prediction. In conclusion, a discussion about the interesting phenomenon was held based on self-rewarding acts.
