Resumen

L�actuació superficial (AS) es defineix com una estratègia en què els empleats de cara al públic amaguen les seves veritables emocions i simulen les emocions que s�esperen d�ells en els seus papers d�atenció al client. Encara que és veritat que investigadors anteriors s�han associat l�actuació superficial amb l�esgotament laboral, l�evidència col·leccionada de moment suggereix que aquesta relació pot ser indirecta. Basat en la Teoria de la Conservació de Recursos, es va plantejar la hipòtesi que l�efecte cumulat de l�esforç emocional i la manca d�interaccions gratificants amb els clients, provocats pel recurs a AS, explicarien l�associació forta entre AS i esgotament laboral (Estudis 1 i 2). A més, basat en la literatura psicològica sobre la recuperació, es va plantejar la hipòtesi que l�esforç requerit per AS determinaria en menor grau l�esgotament dels empleats de cara al públic en els casos en què s�atribuïen nivells més alts de capacitat de recuperació que en els casos de nivells més baixos (Estudi 2). Es va emprar un model transnacional i transversal, i els participants van ser empleats de parcs temàtics del Regne Unit (Estudi 1, NUK = 204) i Espanya (Estudi 2, NSpain = 211). Es va trobar evidència del paper explicatiu de l�esforç emocional i les interaccions gratificants, i es va confirmar l�efecte amortidor de la capacitat per a la recuperació. Es comenten les estratègies dissenyades per minimitzar el risc d�esgotament laboral per als empleats que treballen de cara al públic en aquests països.
