The paper addresses the issue of violence among correctional officers. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of exposure to violence in this professional group.
The study comprised the sample of 222 correctional officers who voluntary and anonymously fulfilled the MDM questionnaire. The MDM Questionnaire allows for assessing exposure to aggression and mobbing at work.
Preliminary assessment of exposure to single aggressive acts and mobbing shows a quite alarming tendency--around one third of subjects under the study experienced repetitive aggressive acts from coworkers and/or superiors.
The problem of organizational aggression in correctional institutions should be recognized in details to develop effective preventive measures against violent behaviors occurring at work.
本文探讨惩教人员中的暴力问题。该研究的目的是评估这一职业群体遭受暴力的频率。
该研究包括222名惩教人员的样本，他们自愿且匿名填写了MDM问卷。MDM问卷可用于评估工作中遭受攻击和骚扰的情况。
对单次攻击行为和骚扰的初步评估显示出一种相当令人担忧的趋势——约三分之一的研究对象曾遭受同事和/或上级的反复攻击行为。
应详细认识惩教机构中的组织性攻击问题，以制定有效的预防措施，防止工作场所发生暴力行为。
