摘要

空服員因需承受比其他服務業還要來得更多的壓力與情緒負荷,過多不良的情緒相對的影響了空服員的工作結果與健康,長時間下來可能導致職業倦怠及職場疲勞的現象發生,其後果不僅使工作效率降低,更成為飛航安全的風險因素之一。 本次研究以某國際航空空服員來作為研究對象,總共回收92份有效問卷,透過問卷的方式來了解空服員在面臨壓力時將如何在工作上反映出自己的情緒,經過分析後發現:
1. 空服員之情緒勞務負荷對職場疲勞有正向關係
2. 情緒勞務負荷對個人疲勞有正向關係
3. 情緒勞務負荷對服務對象的態度有負向關係
本研究結果可供航空公司人員管理部門參考,訂定相關措施以降低空服員之情緒勞務程度。

關鍵字:空服員、職業倦怠、職場疲勞、情緒負荷。
