Regarding the moderating effect, moderated structural equation analysis showed that the effect of the interaction of emotional intelligence and surface acting on emotional exhaustion was significant (β = −.14, t = −2.01), which indicates that coaches high on surface acting experiencing sharp decrease in emotional exhaustion with increased emotional intelligence, whereas coaches low on surface acting reported slight decreases in emotional exhaustion (see Table 2). Also, the differences in the effects of the interaction of emotional intelligence and surface acting on emotional exhaustion widened in the case of low emotional intelligence compared to the case of high emotional intelligence. In contrast, the interaction effects of emotional intelligence and deep acting (β = .04, t = .33) and emotional intelligence and genuine expression (β = .04, t = .43) on emotional exhaustion were not significant.
