We have several recommendations for future research. First, as this was a cross-sectional study without any features of an experimental or quasi-experimental study, no inference can be made regarding cause–effect relationships among the variables of the study. Future research may employ experimental designs or longitudinal studies to verify the cause–effect relationships. Second, although CFA showed that the data from the modified scales defined the construct well, future studies may develop new scales that are more relevant to the coaching context. Furthermore, the relationship between emotional labor and additional individual outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior can be investigated to verify Grandey and Gabiel’s conceptual model. Finally, given the deficiencies of self-reports wherein respondents might have given socially responsible responses, future studies may try to reduce such bias by gathering and analyzing perceptions of different audiences such as assistant coaches and athletes regarding the emotional labor exhibited by a focal coach.
