Furthermore, Wagstaff, Fletcher, and Hanton (2012) suggested incorporation of new con- structs to nurture the field of sport psychology. Emotional labor is the recent organizational construct that has received the growing interests in such organizational sciences as organizational behavior and organizational psychology (Grandey & Gabriel, 2015). Although emotions and emotional regulation have been studied in organizational psychology in sport (e.g., Wagstaff, 2014; Wagstaff et al., 2012), relatively little attention has been given to emotional labor construct. We believe that our study fills this void by introducing the new and critical concept of emotional labor in coaching and organizational psychology in sport.
