“…On one hand, researchers found that display rules, referred to perceived expectations to display positive emotions and suppressing negative emotions, positively related to burnout (Brotheridge & Grandey, ; Cheung & Tang, ; Kammeyer‐Mueller et al, ). On the other hand, specific emotional regulation strategies such as deep acting (when individuals change their actual experienced emotions to conform to display rules) and surface acting (when individuals fake desired emotions or suppress undesired emotions to meet job requirements) have also been found to positively relate to burnout (Becker & Cropanzano, ; Grandey & Melloy, ; Kammeyer‐Mueller et al, ; Sliter et al, ). In addition, previous research has found that display rules, which tend to be stable within individuals (Xanthopoulou, Bakker, Oerlemans, & Koszucka, ), positively predicted both deep acting and surface acting (Mesmer‐Magnus, DeChurch, & Wax, ), indicating that individuals' perception of display rules can affect how they regulate their emotions at work and is thus likely to affect how they react to emotion‐depleting experiences such as workplace incivility.…”
