With the rapid development of the economy, the work needs of financial industry workers are gradually increasing, and bank workers experience more emotional labor than those in other industries because of the high frequency of customer contact and customer response manuals. Furthermore, as the number of young people now using online banking in China increases, offline consumers are mostly elderly people who need patience, which is more emotional pressure than Chinese bank workers have experienced by front-line Chinese bank workers..Bank employees are usually suffering from heavy workload and performance indicators, and at the same time, they must express active emotion as required by banks in their service work, and hide or burn down passive emotions, consuming emotional resources with excessive emotional labor, and spending excessive emotional resources. The effects of job exhaustion can cause negative problems such as low achievement, emotional dissonance, and turnover, and a series of related factors, such as physical and psychological problems, and the psychological well-being of workers is gradually decreasing..Today, psychological well-being can ensure the spiritual health of an individual and cause positive emotions, which can spread throughout the organization and improve the effectiveness of the organization, so interest in psychological well-being is gradually increasing, and improving personal psychological well-being helps to fully realize its potential and to release higher performance, ignoring the psychological well-being of an employee is costly to the organization, detrimental to the organization's growth, competitive advantage, and long-term sustain ability. So it is necessary to value the psychological well-being of bank workers who have to carry out a lot of emotional labor.
This study, in the case of bank workers in China, divided emotional labor into surface and inner behavior, revealed how it specifically affects the psychological well-being of individuals. This study focused on individual and organizational characteristics as a way to increase the psychological well-being of workers who experience a lot of emotional labor and to mitigate the impact of psychological well-being in emotional labor. In this regard, the study revealed the level of psychological well-being according to individual characteristics of resilience and level of empathy within the organization. To reveal this, the level of psychological well-being was verified according to the level of resilience and compassion in the organization when the emotional labor strategy of bank employees was flooded. To verify the hypothesis, this study was conducted on employees working at banks in China. A total of 270 questionnaires were used in the final analysis. A total of six hypotheses were set and empirical analysis were conducted by verifying the effect of the bank workers' emotional labor strategy on psychological well-being, which is the recovery elasticity, which is the individual characteristic of the workers, and the adjustment effect of empathy within the organization, which is the organizational characteristic. All the hypotheses set up in this study have been adopted, and the results are as follows.
First, surface acting, a bank employee's emotional labor strategy, turned out to have a negative impact on psychological well-being. Second, the deep acting , which is the emotional labor strategy of bank employees, has been shown to have a positive influence on psychological well-being. Third, resilience has been shown to control the relationship between surface acting and psychological well-being, the emotional labor strategy of bank workers. Fourth, resilience has been shown to regulate the relationship between deep acting and psychological well-being. Fifth, compassion in organization has been shown to control the relationship between surface acting and psychological well-being, the emotional labor strategy of bank workers.
