trend of transitioning to the freedom economy, the service sector, consisting of tourism industry in Vietnam, has always played an important role The World Travel & Tourism Council (2014) mentions that the contribution factors of Travel & Tourism sectors to GDP will be hotels, airlines, airports, travel agents and leisure and recreation services that deal directly with tourists The total contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP of Vietnam was VND311, 117 Billion (9.6% of GDP) in 2013 and directly created 1,899,000 jobs (3.7% of total employment) Vietnam is one of the most popular destinations in Asia, the number of international visitors to Vietnam has been rising every year It means that tourism industry will have to focus more on better human resources policies so that they can fare well in the competition and satisfy their customers due to its special feature is an interaction between service providing by the service employees and service accepting by customers Travel agencies (both traditional and online) dominate the market for Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines with a 62%, 66% and 52% share, respectively However, direct booking is still getting to the most popular booking channel in Vietnam and accounts for significant sales in this country (Thornton, 2016) Therefore, creating the organizations’ reputation is crucial to take advantages the new trend of direct booking channel The main characteristic of a service sector is “the contact and interaction between service providers (employees) and service acceptors (customers)” (Tsaur, Chang & Wu, 2003, p 435) The main products provided by tourism organizations are services TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com and the employees who play role as service providers will provide those services to customers Thus, employee in the tourism industry becomes a part of service products and their excellent performance help to form image of organizations (Kusluvan, 2003) Vietnam tourism industry needs to overcome these issues to optimize its potential at least by using “professional smiling front-line service workers” to be as “country ambassadors” Today, the new trend of successful tourism companies is truly engaging their front-line service employees by applying emotional labor theory to enhance satisfaction with their external customers As stated by Grandey (2000), interest in emotional labor for research has been gradually started basing on the work of Hochschild (as cited in Grandey, 2000) Nowadays, business in the tourism is very competitive so that travel agencies must focus more on "service with a smile" to improve their reputations basing on customer satisfaction, employee behavioral outcomes As mentioned above, front-line service worker’s performance is one of the key points to obtain customer service using and royalty Service workers are therefore requested to regulate their feelings well in acting when interacting with customers (Karatepe, 2010) Hochschild (1983) uses the definition of emotional labor to indicate front-line service worker’s actions of trying to regulate both inside feelings and external appearance of showing these feelings to satisfy company’s expected emotions This researcher mentions that emotional labor may involve showing, pretending to express or suppressing emotions (e.g showing smiles and good humor…) and in each case, managing emotions of front-line service workers will TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com result in more effective workplace interaction Then, emotions have evolved to help employees act adaptively to customer behaviors and working situations (Grandey, 2000) Additionally, emotional intelligence shows that employees are able to recognize and understand any emotional signal Based on that ability, front-line service employees may use suitable ways to manage their feelings and encourage intellectual growth (Salovey & Mayer, 1990) Therefore, emotional intelligence becomes a critical factors to make emotional issues easier for service workers to regulate While front-line service employees perform their jobs, they always interact to customers face-to-face So they are asked to show appropriate manners and control their feelings well (Karatepe, 2010) Thus, a study of both emotional labor and emotional intelligence for understanding service employee individual emotional expression to help the service employees keep smiling faces is really important The reality is that front-line service workers in Vietnam are facing to different kind of stresses Vietnamnet (2017) reveals that employees have to deal with a lot of unexpected troubles or customers’ bad attitudes leading to work stress and job burnout Sexual harassments while contacting with the customers is not an easy case for employees to handle and these challenges will hurt employees’ emotion (VOV, 2016) Moreover, these workers admit that they are tired of fixing the frequent bad tourism environment of destinations in Vietnam or tired of how using their relationships with intermediaries to perform the best services for customers (Vietnamnet, 2017) Employees in the service sector also share their anxieties on balancing their times for families and for working (Tap Chi Du Lich, 2016) Chowdhary and Prakash (2010) show in their study TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com guide Emotional Intelligence:
