摘要

监狱工作的挑战和对监狱人员福利的影响被广泛宣传。然而,人们对监狱管理者的幸福感知之甚少,以及可能影响这一点的因素:这是本研究的重点。对英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的监狱管理者进行的半结构化访谈(n = 63),使用主题分析进行了分析,指出了围绕幸福感差、工作与生活平衡有限和感觉幻灭的核心主题。幸福的氛围是由职业文化中的挑战所支撑的,包括无休止的工作量、所谓的“大男子主义文化”、相互竞争的期望、责任和自治之间的不协调,以及监狱工作人员与HM监狱和缓刑服务总部工作人员之间缺乏角色理解。Covid-19和工作人员缺乏价值感加剧了这些挑战,但不是造成这些挑战的原因,但个人应对和一些针对州长的支持在一定程度上缓解了这些挑战。讨论了影响和未来的发展方向。

‘Hammering on the pressure’: Prison governor well-being and the need for a more humanised approach

The challenges of prison work and the impact on the well-being of prison officers is widely publicised. However, less is known about the well-being of prison governors, and what may impact this: the focus of this research. Semi-structured interviews (n = 63) with prison governors across England, Scotland and Wales, analysed using thematic analysis, indicated core themes around poor well-being, limited work-life balance and feelings of disenchantment. The well-being climate was underpinned by challenges within the occupational culture including the relentless workloads, a so-called ‘macho culture’, competing expectations, a dissonance between responsibility and autonomy, and a lack of role understanding between staff within prisons and those working from HM Prison and Probation Service headquarters. The challenges were exacerbated, but not caused, by Covid-19 and a lack of perceived value among staff, but mitigated to a degree by individual coping and some access to governor-specific support. Implications and future directions are discussed.
