This study found that teacher burnout is related to school's market culture and hierarchy culture, with the impact of market culture fully mediated by surface acting, and the impact of hierarchy culture partially mediated by surface acting and deep acting.
The literature suggests that teacher burnout is influenced by the market and hierarchy cultures of school management and teachers' emotional labor strategies of surface and deep acting. However, studies have suggested that school management cultures and emotional labor strategies may not function independently based on the emotional labor theory. Nevertheless, the literature has paid less attention to the relationship between the school management cultures, emotional labor, and teacher burnout. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the three variables in China via an online questionnaire survey. After surveying 425 kindergarten, primary and secondary teachers who participated in a professional development program organized by a public university in Beijing, the study found that teacher burnout was positively related to market culture but negatively related to hierarchy culture. Moreover, the impact of the market culture was fully mediated by surface acting while the impact of hierarchy culture was partially mediated by surface acting and deep acting.
