Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated work stress among jail officers using a large sample of 1380 officers from 19 jails, applying the Job Demand-Control-Support model.
- Key factors contributing to stress included heavy workloads, insufficient staffing, lack of control, inadequate support, and exposure to violence.
- The study suggests that managing workloads, enhancing officer autonomy, providing social support, and reducing safety risks are crucial for alleviating stress and improving jail officer well-being.
