Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the emotional labor operational pattern of commercial ski instructors in their daily work. To achieve this, approaches such as field investigations, structured interviews, and participatory observations were adopted. Specifically, interviews were carried out with 13 ski coaches from two ski resorts in Jiangxi Province and Heilongjiang Province, China. After the collection and analysis of data, it was discovered that the emotional labor of skiing coaches encompasses three components: (a) emotional regulations, (b) emotional grooming tactics, and (c) emotional consequences. Based on these findings, this paper establishes an operational model for the emotional labor of ski coaches and discusses the emotional training and salary compensation of ski coaches in combination with the actual situation in China.
