Methods: Data was collected by questionaries from 377 care givers who work in the long term care facilities. Results: The results of this research were summarized as follows: First, Emotional Labor was related significantly in negative correlation with Self Soothing Ability and Happiness. Second, there was a difference between workers of nursing home and home service. The workers in nursing home were related more significantly in negative correlation with Happiness than home service workers. Third, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of Self Soothing Ability between Emotional Labor and Happiness at work, the effect was shown as a partial mediating effect on workers of home service. However, it was shown as a complete mediating effect on workers in nursing home. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that Emotional Labor of Care givers has to be managed for their happiness at work. Therefore, the Government must realize that care givers` Emotional Labor is no longer an individuals. but it should be treated as a critical aspect of the human resources management.
