    > Hello!
    >
    > Is anyone familiar with emotional labor? As I
    > understand, emotional labor is the emotion displayed
    > in job behavior, like smile in service-providing
    > process. Emotion acts as the accessory to working
    > behavior to enhance customer’s satisfaction. I
    > wonder if there is justice issue over emotional
    > labor. Job-oriented emotion is not necessarily the
    > same as the true inner emotion of the employee. Who
    > owns the right to the emotional labor, the boss or
    > the employee? Unfair labor is exploitation of labor,
    > is not the job-required emotional labor without
    > employee’s consent a further exploitation of
    > labor?

    > I hope to hear comments on the issue or any useful
    > references.
