Results : Through the ego-resilience promotion program, the level of total ego-resilience of emotional labor workers was significantly improved in the experimental group(p=.001), especially its vitality and curiosity, were significantly increased(p=.002)(p<..001). There was also a significant difference in the level of ego-resilience before and after the intervention in the experimental and the control groups(p=.010). The total level of depression was significantly decreased in the experimental group(p=.007) and the level of depression was significantly decreased in the 'definite' depression group(p=.004). However, there was no significant difference in the level of depression between the experimental group and the control group(p=.134).
