ABSTRACT

Despite the accretion of social interest and academic research, the ramifications of emotional labor have not been consistently reported. This study examined the effects of emotional labor on its’ relational outcomes by performing a meta-analysis of precedent studies throughout the hospitality industry. 1,420 studies on emotional labor from 2008 to Mar. 2016 were reviewed and 121 studies corresponding to the aim of this study were finally selected. After being coded, 12 positive outcome factors and 6 negative outcome factors were categorized. Effects of surface action on positive outcome factors were not significant, implying that they had no effect, however effects deep action were positively significant. Surface action had a positive effect on the negative outcome factors, although the deep action disclosed no significant effect size on them. Nonetheless, deep action negatively impacted burnout among the negative factors, which indicated it had suppression effect. Subsequently, the subdivisions of those outcome factors are also analyzed to compare the effect sizes. Both synthetic interpretation of the results and implications for future research are discussed in the conclusion.
