Abstract

In recent years, Western and non-Western countries have experience increased reliance on probation services. However, prior research indicates that high job demands and ambiguous role responsibilities invoke feelings of stress and suggest the importance of understanding the relationship between stress and burnout and turnover. While past efforts largely focused on correctional officers (COs), less is known about how probation officers (POs) experience burnout and how organizational attributes may influence this relationship. Using survey data of federal POs (N = 80) across eight offices in a southern state, the current study examines the influence of individual characteristics and organizational attributes in predicting burnout and turnover intent. To answer our research questions, we perform a series of linear regression models. Findings suggest the importance of affective commitment for reducing POs' feelings of burnout and turnover intent. Implications of these findings and directions of future research are discussed.

个人特征和组织属性:对缓刑监督官职业倦怠和离职意向的评估。
近年来,西方国家和非西方国家越来越依赖缓刑服务。然而,先前的研究表明,高强度的工作要求和模糊的角色责任会引发压力感,并表明了解压力与职业倦怠和离职之间关系的重要性。过去的研究主要集中在管教人员(COs)身上,而对于缓刑监督官(POs)如何体验职业倦怠以及组织属性如何影响这种关系却知之甚少。本研究利用南部某州八个办公室的联邦缓刑监督官(N = 80)的调查数据,探讨了个人特征和组织属性对预测职业倦怠和离职意向的影响。为了回答研究问题,我们建立了一系列线性回归模型。研究结果表明,情感承诺对于减少主要官员的职业倦怠和离职意向非常重要。我们讨论了这些研究结果的意义和未来研究的方向。
