Research examining correctional staff indicates that there are far-reaching negative consequences related to job burnout, including, but not limited to, diminished physical and mental health, increased risk of substance use, and decreased job performance. One area that may contribute to correctional staff job burnout is work–family conflict, which occurs when work and home domains spill into one another, causing conflict and problems. Using a sample of Southern correctional staff, this study investigates whether the four major types of work–family conflict—time-based, strain-based, behavior-based, and family-based—influence the three recognized job burnout dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feeling ineffective at work. The findings provide partial support for the notion that work–family conflict influences job burnout. These findings are contextualized in previous research with a full discussion of their implications.

对惩教人员的研究表明，工作倦怠会产生深远的负面影响，包括但不限于身心健康下降、药物使用风险增加和工作绩效下降。可能导致惩教人员工作倦怠的一个方面是工作-家庭冲突，当工作和家庭领域相互渗透时就会发生这种冲突，从而导致冲突和问题。本研究使用南方惩教人员的样本，调查了四种主要类型的工作与家庭冲突——基于时间的、基于压力的、基于行为的和基于家庭的——是否会影响三个公认的职业倦怠维度：情绪耗竭、人格解体，工作效率低下。研究结果为工作-家庭冲突影响工作倦怠的观点提供了部分支持。
