Zusammenfassung:This study surveyed 322 officers at two prisons in China to investigate the influence of job demands (i.e., role overload and routinization), job resources (i.e., training, job autonomy, instrumental communication, and supervision), and demographic characteristics on workplace fear of victimization. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis indicated role overload was related to higher levels of fear, while training and job autonomy were related to lower levels. Routinization, instrumental communication, and supervision had nonsignificant effects. Male officers were more likely to report higher fear of victimization, as did staff at one of the two prisons.
