Truly Defining Emotional Labor  真正的勞「心」又勞力 ── 情緒勞動
by Lauren McCarthy


    

  The #MeToo movement that took center stage in 2017 brought with it conversations that went beyond rape and sexual assault. __1__ More often than not, this discussion will include the term emotional labor. However, the way this trending term is used is incorrect.
  First coined by sociologist Arlie Hochschild in her 1983 book, The Managed Heart, emotional labor is about the need to manage one’s emotions within the framework of one’s job. __2__ Most of these people are expected to be friendly, bubbly, and smiling throughout their working day. Managers may need to project a sense of sternness in their interactions with employees. __3__ All of these are examples of emotional labor.
  The term emotional labor gets used synonymously with mental load, which is the burden of remembering all the tasks that go into maintaining a household. This is incorrect, and the impact of the concept is being swept under the carpet. __4__ The burden of maintaining an emotional facade is not usually thought of as an aspect of one’s work, but it is often responsible for burnout and the feeling of being overworked.
  As the term has been co-opted to mean different things than what Hochschild originally intended, she has pointed out that using a singular term to talk of separate concepts is an issue. __5__ “Emotional labor, as I introduced the term in The Managed Heart, is the work, for which you’re paid, which centrally involves trying to feel the right feeling for the job,” Hochschild said in a recent interview.
(A) Bill collectors have to present an aggressive demeanor.
(B) The effects emotional labor has on people and their jobs are often ignored.
(C) Think of tour guides, tipped waiters, and others that work in customer service jobs.
(D) The load falls primarily on mothers’ shoulders, and it’s making them extremely exhausted.
(E) Instead of muddying the waters by altering its meaning, she believes emotional labor should relate specifically to employment.
(F) One common topic that has been discussed with increasing regularity is the extra effort that women put into running and managing a household.

真正的勞「心」又勞力 ── 情緒勞動
  

  2017 年成為關注焦點的 #MeToo 運動所引發的不只有著重在強暴和性侵害方面的對話。越來越為人討論的一個常見主題是女性在經營和管理家庭上付出的額外努力。此種討論通常包含情緒勞動這一個詞。然而,這個在網路及社群媒體上流傳的詞用法卻不正確。
  社會學家亞莉.霍奇斯柴德在其 1983 年出版的《情緒管理的探索》一書中首次使用情緒勞動這個詞,指的是一個人在工作體制內必須管理自己的情緒。想一想導遊、收取小費的服務生以及其他從事服務業的人。大多數的這些人在工作時被期待要表現友善、活潑熱情並隨時把微笑掛在臉上。主管在與員工互動的過程中可能需要展現出嚴厲的感覺。催繳帳單的人必須表現出咄咄逼人的樣子。這些全都是情緒勞動的例子。
  情緒勞動一詞和精神負載(即記得一切維持家庭所需做的事而帶來的重擔)被當作同義詞來使用。但這是不正確的,而情緒勞動真正概念的影響力正在被隱匿。情緒勞動對於人們與其工作所造成的影響往往被忽略。維持特定情緒假象的重擔通常不被認為是某人工作的一部分,但它卻常常是人們筋疲力盡和覺得工作過度的原因。
  由於這個詞已被借用來意指與霍奇斯柴德原先所想不一樣的東西,她指出使用單一措詞來探討不同概念是一個問題。她並非要改變它的定義來使情況變得更複雜,而是認為情緒勞動應專指受僱。霍奇斯柴德在一次最近的採訪中說道:「正如我在《情緒管理的探索》中所介紹的那樣,情緒勞動是你有支薪的工作,主要涉及為了該工作而試著去感受適當的情緒。」
答案:
1. F  2. C  3. A  4. B  5. E
