The effects of flight attendants' emotional labor on Pro-social behavior: Mediating Effect of Job Engagement

The purpose of the current research is to investigate important roles of emotional labor(deep acting and surface acting) influencing flight attendants' job engagement and pro-social behavior. Additionally, the mediating effect of job engagement on the relationships between flight attendants’ emotional labor and their pro-social behavior is verified. Based on existing studies, the hypothesized model was proposed and data were collected via field survey. To empirically test the conceptual model proposed, the data from a total of 238 flight attendants' gained. were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings of data analysis showed that flight attendants’ deep acting had a positive effect on job engagement and pro-social behavior; however, surface acting negatively influenced job engagement only. The mediating effect of job engagement was significant only on the relationship between flight attendants’ deep acting and their pro-social behavior. Based on the findings of this study, specific guidance was provided for the department of human resource management in the airline industry.
