英文摘要 |
This study aimed to understand the relationship between emotional labor and burnout of full-time university counseling psychologists as well as exploring the mediating effect of self-efficacy in this relation. This study focused on 188 full-time university counseling psychologists, utilizing a research questionnaire including the following instruments: School Counselor’s Emotional Labor Inventory, Counseling Self-efficacy Inventory, and Burnout Inventory. Data analyses conducted in this study included descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and Hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that university counseling psychologists’ emotional labor positively predicted their burnout, that different emotional management strategies had differential influences on job burnout, and that counseling self-efficacy had a significant mediating effect for the relations between job burnout and several emotional labor variables, including emotional diversity, emotional expression demand, shallow-layer emotional action, and deep-layer emotional action. Discussions on the findings and relevant suggestions are presented. |
