우리나라의 서비스 직업에 대한 고용비중이 점차 높아지고 있는 동시에 여성의 경제활동도 함께 증가하는 추세를 보여주고 있다. 또한 현재 경영의 환경에 있어서의 소비자들은 기업과의 직접적인 대면과 함께 우량의 서비스 품질을 요구하는 경영환경의 시대에 있다. 각 기업은 차별화 전략으로서 최상의 서비스 제공을 통한 고객 만족 극대화에 초점을 맞추고 있으며 특히, 서비스 기업에서 추구하는 고객만족 또는 서비스 만족도가 기업의 경쟁우의를 결정짓고 기업의 이미지를 표현하는 중요한 요인으로 여겨지고 있다. 이러한 고객만족을 중시하는 기업과 조직의 목표에 의해 대부분의 고객센터의 여성 근로자들은 조직이 요구하는 감정표현의 규범에 의해 자신의 감정이나 느낌을 고객에게 연출하도록 강요받고 있다. 근로자의 기분과 감정과는 관계없이 고객에게 미소와 친절을 보내야 하는 고객센터 근로자들은 감정노동을 하고 있는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서비스 산업 중에서도 여성인력에 대한 의존도가 높은 고객만족센터(텔레마케터 or 전화상담원)에 근무하는 여성근로자를 중심으로 감정적 부조화에 따른 감정노동이 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고 연구 결과를 통해 고객센터의 여성근로자들의 인적자원관리 차원에서 감정노동에 대한 인지와 직무스트레스 조절을 통한 관리에 시사점을 제안하고자 한다.
