Emotion


Emotion

Emotion is a complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences.
Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.


Emotional Labor

Emotional labor is a form of emotional regulation wherein workers are expected to display certain emotions as part of their job, and to promote organizational goals.
The sociologist Arlie Hochschild provided the first definition of "emotional labor": the
"Management of feeling to create a publicly facial and bodily display"

Felt Emotion:
Felt emotions are an individual’s actual emotions.

Displayed Emotion:
Displayed emotions are those that are organizationally required and considered appropriate in a given job.
Key—felt and displayed emotions are often different. This is particularly true in organizations, where role demands and situations often require people to exhibit emotional behaviors that mask their true feelings.
