The goal of the current study was to investigate individual-level factors associated with job burnout among probation officers (POs) and, specifically, to examine if attitudes toward probationers were linked with job burnout in the context of the recently established probation system in Turkey. Participants (N = 115) were recruited from a probation office in Istanbul. Job burnout was assessed via three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and professional accomplishment. Results of structural equation modeling indicated that more favorable attitudes toward probationers were related to a lower sense of depersonalization and higher experience of professional accomplishment. However, POs’ attitudes toward probationers were not associated with emotional exhaustion. Our findings are discussed in light of the present empirical literature on the contextual factors influential in job burnout. Practical implications for burnout prevention point to the potential effectiveness of working on attitudes among POs toward the people they supervise.

土耳其缓刑官对缓刑者的态度与工作倦怠之间的联系

本研究的目的是调查与缓刑官员 (PO) 的工作倦怠相关的个人层面因素，特别是在土耳其最近建立的缓刑制度的背景下，检查对缓刑者的态度是否与工作倦怠有关。参与者（N = 115）是从伊斯坦布尔的缓刑办公室招募的。工作倦怠通过三个部分进行评估：情绪衰竭、人格解体和职业成就。结构方程模型的结果表明，对缓刑者的更积极态度与较低的人格解体感和较高的职业成就经验有关。然而，PO 对缓刑者的态度与情绪衰竭无关。我们的研究结果是根据目前关于影响工作倦怠的背景因素的实证文献进行讨论的。预防倦怠的实际意义表明，研究 PO 对他们监督的人的态度的潜在有效性。
