ABSTRACT

Studies testing the Person-Environment Fit Theory and the top-down approach in the subjective well-being literature have highlighted a gap in the effect of personal fit variables or traits and their relationships with environmental variables. The current study aims to examine the role of trait anger, stress, and burn-out on job satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect within the framework of Person-Environment Fit Theory and the top-down approach by using structural equation modeling. The study was conducted on 588 Turkish correctional officers working in low-, medium-, or maximum-security prisons. Similar to previous findings, a direct positive relationship was found between trait anger and negative affect. Similarly, work stress, burnout, and job satisfaction were positively and directly associated with each other. Besides, the mediating role of burnout and job satisfaction in the relationship among trait anger, work stress, and negative affect/positive affect was statistically significant. Moreover, the relationship between trait anger and negative affect/positive affect, as well as the relationship between work stress and positive affect, was mediated by burnout, while job satisfaction only mediated the relationship between work stress and positive affect. Implications are presented to improve the subjective well-being of correctional officers.

摘要

在主观幸福感文献中测试人与环境契合理论和自上而下的方法的研究强调了个人契合变量或特征的影响及其与环境变量的关系的差距。目前的研究旨在通过使用结构方程模型在人与环境匹配理论和自上而下的方法的框架内检查特质愤怒、压力和倦怠对工作满意度、积极影响和消极影响的作用。该研究是针对在低、中或最高安全监狱中工作的 588 名土耳其惩教人员进行的。与之前的发现类似，在特质愤怒和负面情绪之间发现了直接的正相关关系。同样，工作压力、倦怠和工作满意度相互之间呈正相关。除了，倦怠和工作满意度在特质愤怒、工作压力和消极情绪/积极情绪之间的中介作用具有统计学意义。此外，特质愤怒与消极情感/积极情感之间的关系，以及工作压力与积极情感之间的关系，是由倦怠介导的，而工作满意度仅在工作压力与积极情感之间的关系中起中介作用。提出了改善惩教人员主观幸福感的影响。由倦怠介导，而工作满意度仅介导工作压力与积极情感之间的关系。提出了改善惩教人员主观幸福感的影响。由倦怠介导，而工作满意度仅介导工作压力与积极情感之间的关系。提出了改善惩教人员主观幸福感的影响。
