Arlie Hochschild's foundational text divided emotional labor into two components: surface acting and deep acting.[1] Surface acting occurs when employees display the emotions required for a job without changing how they actually feel.[1] Deep acting is an effortful process through which employees change their internal feelings to align with organizational expectations, producing more natural and genuine emotional displays.[13] Although the underlying processes differ, the objective of both is typically to show positive emotions, which are presumed to impact the feelings of customers and bottom-line outcomes (e.g. sales, positive recommendations, and repeat business).[13][14][15] However, research generally has shown surface acting is more harmful to employee health.[16][17][18] Without a consideration of ethical values, the consequences of emotional work on employees can easily become negative. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9351.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9351.txt
