SECURITY-RELATED RESOURCES AS A DETERMINANT OF STRESS AMONG PRISON SERVICE OFFICERS – THE CONTEXT OF PERSONAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the role of the assessment of security-related factors in shaping the experience of stress by Prison Service officers. The research model adopted refers to the assumption that losses in resources related to various dimensions of security show the potential to intensify the level of stress experienced. A group of 43 officers serving at the Correctional Facility in Racibórz was studied using the Stress Feeling Questionnaire (KPS) and selected items from Hobfoll's Conservation of Resources Questionnaire (COR), adapted by Dudek, Gruszczyńska and Koniarek. Relationships between groups assessing resource losses were determined using Spearman's R correlation coefficient. The analyses showed statistically significant positive relationships between the level of stress experienced and losses in resources concerning physical, economic and social security. The results indicate that areas of psychosocial resources related to security play a significant role as generators of stress experience in the context of occupational burdens characteristic of prison service officers.
