Özet
This study investigates whether the emotional labor strategies used by teachers are predicted by their motivation types and at what level teachers’ altruistic behaviors and personality traits predict their types of motivation. The data were collected from 596 teachers working in Ankara, with the stratified sampling method. A path analysis was conducted to explore the relationships among teachers’altruistic behaviors, personality traits, motivation types, and the use of emotional labor strategies. The findings indicate that most of the altruistic behaviors predict teachers’ motivation types while among personality traits only neuroticism is a significant predictor. Lastly, external motivation predicts automatic emotion regulation/ emotional deviance while acting is predicted by all the motivation types.
