The hospitality emotional labor scale (Chu ve Murrmann, 2006) was used in the data collection, and the factor analysis of the data reveals that emotional labor consists deep acting and surface acting dimensions. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the structure of two-factor solution. Further, the effects of emotional labor dimensions on employee job satisfaction and intention to stay were examined.
