The current study aimed to investigate the moderating role of work-family conflict between emotional labor (surface acting) and burnout (emotional exhaustion) in married female doctors. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 200 married female doctors working in public and private hospitals. Data was collected using the three reliable and valid scales. Findings revealed that work-family conflict is the significant moderator. The results indicated that at the low level of work-family conflict, the association of surface acting and emotional exhaustion was not significant (B = .02, SE = .17, p > .05) whereas at a moderate level of work-family conflict (B = .46, SE = .12, p < .01) the association between the surface acting and emotional exhaustion is significant. When the level of work-family conflict is high then the association of surface acting and emotional exhaustion is highly significant (B = .91, SE = .19, p = >.001).The findings are discussed in light of existing literature.

They participated in the study voluntarily and responded scale items online. The findings showed that teachers’ perceptions of EL, OC and WE is relatively high. Also, there are statistically significant and positive correlations among variables. On the other hand, the findings confirmed the hypotheses. Teachers’ EL predicts their OC and WE.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to analyze the moderating role of organizational justice in the emotional exhaustion–organizational loyalty link. Emotional exhaustion resulting from an employee’s emotional labor usually leads to negative outcome such as organizational loyalty. Following conservation of resources theory and social exchange theory, the authors argue that the relationship between flight attendants’ emotional exhaustion and organizational loyalty is moderated by distributive, procedural and interpersonal justice. Design/methodology/approach – Data were gathered from a sample of 247 flight attendants in South Korea. Hierarchical moderated regression analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized relationship. Findings – The study results provide support for the moderating role of organizational justice such as distributive, procedural and interpersonal justice in the emotional exhaustion–organizational loyalty link. Originality/value – This study contributes to the extant literature by empirically validating the moderating effect and clarifying the role of three types of organizational justice simultaneously, which has not been addressed in previous research.

The aim of the study was to examine the mediating role of workplace bullying in how supervisor support and belief in a just world (BJW) are related to emotional exhaustion. A cross-sectional quantitative study using anonymous self-report questionnaires was conducted with 434 workers in France. The model was tested using a path analysis. First, the results revealed that BJW and support from the hierarchy were negatively related to emotional exhaustion. BJW and supervisor support were also negatively related to workplace bullying. Finally, harassment at work was positively related to emotional exhaustion. More generally, the results showed that social support from one’s superior and BJW were directly and indirectly related to emotional exhaustion via bullying at work. Our model thus suggests that BJW and supervisor support can be protective resources against bullying and exhaustion. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the present study, as well as some avenues for future research.
