Relationship between Kindergarten Teachers'Emotional Labor and Occupational Well-being:Mediating Effect of Organizational Climate
Teachers'occupational well-being is an important indicator of the quality of their educational life and the psychological state.To investigate the relationship between emotional labor and occupa-tional well-being of kindergarten teachers and the effect of organizational climate in both,the Emo-tional Labor Scale,Occupational Well-Being Scale,and Organizational Climate Scale were used to con-duct a survey on kindergarten teachers,and a total of 512 valid questionnaires were collected.The re-sults are as follows.First,surface play strategies negatively impacted on the organizational climate and occupationalwell-being.Second,deep play strategies and natural strategies positively predicted kinder-garten organizational climate and preschool teachers'well-being.Third,organizational climate partially mediated the relationship between kindergarten teachers'emotional labor dimensions and occupational well-being.To enhance the occupational well-being of kindergarten teachers,we should insist on both internal training and external shaping to improve the emotional literacy of kindergarten teachers;cre-ate a"teacher-friendly"organizational climate with both support and care;and with reduced burden and empowerment,build a multi-party collaboration mechanism to create an inexhaustible source of occupational well-being and lasting power for the development of kindergarten teachers.
