Conclusion<br />

These issues go to the heart of normative debates around the concept of emotion work<br />

<strong>and</strong> emotional labour. Recent work has accordingly reflected on core tensions within<br />

different traditions of emotion research, on the impact of commercialisation on<br />

emotional life <strong>and</strong> on well-being at work <strong>and</strong> has explored aspects of emotional<br />

labour in different work <strong>and</strong> employment settings. All these themes offer insights into<br />

the performance of emotional labour <strong>and</strong> some of the consequences of such work for<br />

workers, managers, customers <strong>and</strong> clients. A rich research field indeed!<br />
