Abstract: This study focused on the effect of person-job fit on the relationship between emotional labour and job satisfaction among salespeople in Turkey. Using survey data obtained from 204 salespeople working in different sectors, we analysed job satisfaction, person-job fit and three components of emotional labour, which are deep acting, surface acting and naturally felt emotions. We found that job satisfaction has a significant relationship positively with naturally felt emotions and negatively with surface acting. Although no significant moderation effect has been found for person-job fit, we found that person-job fit significantly mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and naturally felt emotions as well as the one between job satisfaction and surface acting.
