| Summary | This study focuses on the relationships among job involvement, job stress, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and three facets of burnout (depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and diminished personal accomplishment), with a specific emphasis on correctional staff. Job satisfaction had a negative relationship with all three facets of burnout. Job stress had a positive relationship with depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. Job involvement had a positive association with emotional exhaustion. Commitment was unrelated to any of the burnout facets. Hence, job satisfaction demonstrated associations with the greatest number of burnout facets, while organizational commitment demonstrated the fewest. |
