|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine optometrists’ emotional regulation ability, by analyzing the actual condition of optical shops’ regular day off.
Methods : The questionnaires about the establishment of optical shops and their enforcement of regular day off were administered to 478 optometrists working in optical shops located in Chungnam and Gangwon areas, from April to December, 2018. Then, a comparative analysis on differences in their emotional labor and burnout, self-care for coping with stress and psychological well-being was conducted.
Results : Emotional labor and burnout of employees were more than those of owners, while self-care for coping with stress and psychological well-being of the former were less than those of the latter.
Emotional labor and burnout and psychological well-being in some optical shops which enforced regular day off were more than those in others which did not, while self-care for coping with stress in the former was less than that in the former.
Conclusion : The enforcement of regular day off decreased the degree of optometrists’ emotional labor and burnout and increased the degree of their self-care for coping with stress and psychological well-being.
This study can be usefully used to understand optometrists’ emotional regulation ability and psychological well-being and is thought to contribute to reducing job stress derived from management of optical shops and job performance of optometrists.
