Abstract
Correctional staff are the driving force of any correctional facility. Identification of the forces that shape job satisfaction and organizational commitment of correctional staff is necessary for correctional institutions to succeed in their missions. There is a growing body of literature focused on the antecedents of job satisfaction; however, very little literature has focused on the antecedents of organizational commitment. The effects of the occupational stressors of role ambiguity, role conflict, perceived dangerousness of the job, and two forms of work-family conflict (i.e., work on family conflict and family on work conflict) on organizational commitment were examined. Based on ordinary least squares regression results, role ambiguity, role conflict, and work on family conflict had statistically significant effects. Dangerousness and family on work conflict had nonsignificant effects.
