emotional labour

emotional labour
For Arlie Hochschild (The Managed Heart, 1983), this is the work done with feelings, as part of paid employment . People in many of the personal service occupations-such as airline stewardesses, waitresses, bartenders, and such like-are paid to ‘sell their emotions’. Emotions here can become a commodity. Arguably, more and more work in the Western world is of this type, particularly in those occupations dominated by women. See also emotion, sociology of.
