The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between teachers’ levels of emotional labor and vocational belonging. The study is a quantitative study adopting a relational screening model. Participants of the study included 416 primary, middle and high school teachers currently working in public and private schools in Bergama, İzmir. Data were collected through two questionnaires; Emotional Labor Scale and Vocational Belonging Scale. For data analysis, standard multiple linear regression analysis, T-Tests and ANOVA were conducted. The results of the study determined that deep acting and expression of naturally felt emotions significantly predicted vocational belonging. Deep acting and expression of natural emotions sub dimensions of emotional labor explain approximately 13% of the total variance of vocational belonging. In addition, emotional labor and vocational belonging were examined based on different demographic variables. Findings showed that there is a significant difference for participant teachers’ emotional labor levels based on their gender, age, experience in teaching profession, experience in the current school, subject area and school grade level. Teachers’ vocational belonging levels significantly differed based on their subject area and school grade level.
