This study aims to examine the moderation effect of teachers’ emotional labor (EL) on the relationship between school headmasters’ emotional intelligence (EI) and teachers’ job satisfaction (JS). This correlational research is based on data collected from 27 school headmasters and 469 teachers. Data were analyzed by using a moderated hierarchical multiple linear regression method. Our results highlight that headmasters’ EI competencies and teachers’ EL competencies significantly predict teachers’ job satisfaction level and that teachers’ emotional labor moderates the relationship between headmasters’ EL and teachers’ JS. Some theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

本研究旨在检验教师情绪劳动（EL）对学校校长情绪智力（EI）与教师工作满意度（JS）之间关系的调节作用。这项相关研究是基于从27位学校校长和469位老师收集的数据得出的。数据通过使用温和的分层多元线性回归方法进行分析。我们的结果表明，校长的EI能力和教师的EL能力显着预测了教师的工作满意度，而教师的情感劳动减轻了校长的EL与教师JS之间的关系。还讨论了一些理论和实践意义。
