Abstract
In this study, preschool teachers’ perceptions of parental approach, their
emotional labor levels, and the relationship between them were examined
regarding various variables. 220 preschool teachers working in public and private
preschool institutions in the 2020-2021 academic year participated in this
research. The Emotional Labor Scale and Parental Approach Scale were applied to
preschool teachers. It was found that there is a positive, moderate significant
relationship between the parental approach perceptions of preschool teachers
and their emotional labor levels. Preschool teachers scored highest from the
factor of "natural emotions" related to emotional labor, and the lowest in the
dimension of "superficial role playing". According to the answers given by the
preschool teachers regarding their perceptions of parental approach, the highest
mean was in the dimension of "positive and informative approach", and the lowest
was in the dimension of "negative and critical approach".
