AB The negative individual and organizational impact of job stress is well documented for institutional correctional officers. One known predictor of job stress in this setting is work-family conflict. To date, however, no literature has assessed this relationship among community corrections staff. The purpose of this study was to determine if work-family conflict predicted job stress not only for probation/parole officers but also for residential (i.e., half-way house) staff members. Using data collected from an anonymous online survey of probation/parole and residential officers, we found that work-family conflict had a direct effect on job stress, but this relationship was conditioned by job position. Specifically, a significant interaction effect and models separated out by job position suggested that work-family conflict contributed to greater feelings of job stress for probation/parole officers but not for residential officers.
