Abstract

Emotional labor is now emphasized as a very important concept not only for private companies but also for public servants who perform public affairs in public institutions, but relatively theoretical research is lacking. The purpose of this study is to examine the negative effects of the surface acting on emotional labor and to examine the moderating effect of social support to reduce it. As for the social support, we distinguished between POS support and supervisor support. Furthermore, we found that any support among POS and supervisor support has a large effect on the relationship between surface acting and emotional exhaustion. In order to verify this research model and hypothesis, we conducted 250 employees who perform civil affairs in public institutions. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, it was found that surface acting had a very significant effect on emotional exhaustion. The increase in emotional exhaustion due to the incongruity between inner emotions and display emotions appeared to be the same as the results of research on existing private companies. Second, both POS and supervisor support significantly reduce the relationship between surface acting and emotional exhaustion. Third, the moderating effect of POS and supervisor support showed that the control effect of superiors' support was stronger, so that the surface act reduced the influence of emotional exhaustion more strongly. The results of this study refer to the importance of emotional labor education for civil servants performing civil affairs. In addition, it suggests that various programs should be provided to relieve emotional exhaustion and stress of civil service officials. In addition, it suggests a more aggressive organizational support design for high-level POS.

민간 기업에서 뿐만이 아니라 공공기관의 대민업무를 수행하는 공무원들에게도 중요한 개념으로 강조되고 있는 감정노동은 그 중요성에도 불구하고 상대적으로 이론적 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 본 논문은 민원업무를 수행하는 공무원들을 대상으로 감정노동 중 표면행위의 부정적 영향을 파악하고 이를 줄이기 위한 사회적 지원의 조절영향을 검증하는 것으로 연구목적으로 하였다. 사회적 지원으로는 조직지원인식(POS)와 상사지원을 구분하여 그 완화효과를 파악하였으며, 더 나아가 어떠한 지원이 보다 효과가 큰가를 파악하였다. 본 연구모델과 가설을 검증하기 위하여 공공기관에서 민원을 처리하는 업무를 수행하는 종업원 250명을 대상으로 진행하였다. 본 연구 결과들을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 표면행위는 감정소모에 매우 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 내면의 감정과 표현된 감정 간의 부조화로 인한 감정소모의 증가는 기존의 민간 기업들을 대상으로 한 연구결과와 동일하게 나타났다. 둘째, POS와 상사 지원 모두 표면행위와 감정소모 간의 관계를 유의하게 줄이는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, POS와 상사지원의 조절효과는 상사지원의 조절효과가 보다 강하게 나타남으로써 표면행위가 감정소모의 영향을 보다 강하게 줄여주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 민원업무를 수행하는 공무원들 대상의 감정노동 교육 실시의 중요성과 민원담당 공무원들의 감정소진과 스트레스를 해소할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램들이 제공되어야 함을 시사하고 있다. 더불어, 높은 수준의 POS와 상사지원을 위한 보다 적극적인 조직 지원제도 및 리더십훈련 설계의 필요성을 제안하고 있다.
