Advice Pool - Are Correctional Staff Sick of Their Jobs or Are Their Jobs Making Them Sick?
Correctional employees perform a difficult, but necessary task that is vital to public safety. They experience chronic stress due to inescapable job factors. Reducing the well documented work stress among correctional employees has the potential to make them healthier and more effective in their jobs. To reduce stress, it is necessary to understand its parameters and the variables that are related to it. If employees' mental or physical health decreases due to work stress, preventive services are needed. Greater worker health i
According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
s beneficial to the worker, the organization, and society.
Frecknall (1989) states that 3% of American employees are absent every working day and that 50% of sick leave is stress related. Schuler (1989) states that government and business spend $10-20 billion a year on employee health care. Sullivan and Bhagat (1992) said that stress related costs to the economy are 10% of the GNP. Documenting the relationship between stress and health will provide a foundation upon which to build cost-effective stress management and heath care

How well individual employees accommodate to stressors is undoubtedly related to many factors. The present study focused on four: perceived social support at work and at home, cynicism, and prior trauma. The effects of these conditions on mental and physical illness symptoms were assessed.

Research to date indicates that social support is related to stress and well-being. Support from coworkers and supervisors has a stronger association with lower work stress than family support. However, the results of studies of the relationship between social support, work stress and negative stress outcomes remains mixed.

Levy (Martinkowski, 1993) defines cynicism as a system of beliefs and attitudes that is manifested by statements and actions that assume that the motivations and behaviors of others, including organizations, are predominantly selfish, self-serving, or exploitative. Cynics question the worth of any endeavor that is proposed as altruistic, aimed at the common good, or well meaning. They express or imply contempt for authority and those who cooperate with authority. Highly cynical people avoid unqualified involvement in interper

A correctional officer's job is to control the selfish, self-serving, and exploitative behavior of inmates who have contempt for authority. Many criminal justice employees agree that the frustration of managing inmates and the daily exposure to the cynical attitudes of offenders hardens one's own attitudes. Over time, employees may generalize these negative attributes (lack of goodness and trustworthiness) to all individuals. This may increase employ

The employees who are oriented toward rehabilitation and remain in the correctional field have higher perceived influence on superiors. They appear to gain skills to negotiate with superiors and consequently are less cynical about the prison administration.

In this study there is a strong relationship between emotional distress and physical illness.

Role problems were related to cynicism. Cynicism can reflect distress about real organizational or role problems that need to be solved. Curtis et al. (1990) and Ulmer (1992) found that manager and administrator policy and behavior which cause frustration among staff are correlated with employee cynicism. Greenglass and Julkumen (1989), Houston and Vavak (1991), Smith, Pope, Sanders, Alfred, & O'Keith (1988), Smith and Frohm (1985), and Regoli et al. (1990) also rep

rted that greater cynicism was significantly associated with lower social support. Employees who were low in cynicism may be more open to social support at home and at work. They may be more pleasant and thus, they may attract more social support than their more cynical and negative peers. Social support can help employees cope with their work stress more effective.
Work trauma was correlated with emotional distress. This is consistent with the work by Cullen et al. (1985) and Martin, McKean, & Veltkamp (1986) who found that wo

k violence and perceived dangerousness were related to emotional distress. Work trauma was associated with life trauma, role problems, and work support. Work trauma may be associated with role problems because it engenders feelings of uncertainty and lack of control. Uncertainty can be generalized to role issues. Those who have experienced trauma at work may withdraw from the support of others. This withdrawal may be related to less assistance in difficult situations. This may lead to reduced effectiveness and higher reactivity

Violence is distressing because of fear and sympathetic arousal. Those who have experienced violence in the past may have quicker and stronger sympathetic arousal which is resolved more slowly than those who have not had similar experience.

demonstrated that correctional employees with greater life traumas, cynicism, and role problems and less social support at home and at work had greater emotional distress. Highly cynical employees were more distressed than less cynical employees. Life trauma predicted emotional distress, whereas work trauma did not. Employees who lack role clarity are more distressed than those who do not.

When home support is low, there may be a greater need to find a source of support at work. It is also possible that strong work support encourages greater attachment to work and less attachment to home.
