Abstract

Emotional labor at work typically manifests through surface acting and deep acting. This phenomenological study examines the emotional labor experienced by 15 international Filipino teachers working in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. Guided by self-determination theory (SDT), the research explores their reasons for teaching abroad, as well as the challenges they face and how they navigate them emotionally. A qualitative design was employed using semi-structured interviews and framed narratives. Each participant engaged in one individual interview and one focus group discussion. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to generate key themes. Findings show that deep acting involves emotional control, display of positive emotions, emotional exhaustion, experience of negative emotions, and emotional indifference toward self. In contrast, surface acting includes masking emotions, projecting artificial feelings, and withdrawal behaviors. The five major themes emerged as contributing factors to emotional labor: cultural adjustment, language barrier, professional challenges, limited support networks, and work-life balance. Coping strategies identified include emotional regulation, positive cognitive response, support from family and peers, and participation in recreational activities. These nuanced findings offer important insights for international teacher preparation, emotional well-being, and future research on cross-cultural educational contexts.

Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) as a writing tool is rampantly developing and attracting attention in academic writing. This study aimed to analyze the use of GAI as an AI-powered writing tool in academic writing among college students. By using a mixed method design with criterion purposive sampling, the researchers gathered the data from eighty students through a survey and selected individuals from all year levels underwent interviews. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyze their perceptions and integration of GAI tools. The result reveals mainly high levels of perception: knowledge perception, “High”; frequency and extent of use, “Average”; impact on academic writing, “High”; and integration with human writers, “High”. The study further identified that the students integrate GAI writing tools to improve writing quality, efficiency, and productivity. On the other hand, their disadvantages include over-reliance on GAI tools and inaccuracy issues. The findings suggest that GAI tools integration improves academic writing, but negatively impacts the students’ character. This study stresses the importance of moderation in using GAI writing tools and recommends looking further into the different ways of effective integration.
