Considerable empirical research has shown that work-family conflict has a negative effect on the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of United States correctional staff. This study is the first to examine the effect of work-family conflict on job satisfaction and organizational commitment for staff at Chinese prisons. Findings from ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses indicated that strain-based conflict, behavior-based conflict and family-on-work conflict had negative effects on the job satisfaction of Chinese prison staff. Also, strain-based conflict and behavior-based conflict had negative effects on organizational commitment. Overall, the results support the conclusion that work-family conflict was generally perceived as stressful by Chinese prison staff and negatively impacted their job satisfaction and organizational commitment, as has been found among United States staff.
大量实证研究表明，工作-家庭冲突会对美国惩教人员的工作满意度和组织承诺产生负面影响。本研究首次考察了工作-家庭冲突对中国监狱工作人员工作满意度和组织承诺的影响。普通最小二乘法（OLS）回归分析结果表明，基于压力的冲突、基于行为的冲突以及家庭对工作的冲突对中国监狱工作人员的工作满意度有负面影响。此外，基于压力的冲突和基于行为的冲突对组织承诺有负面影响。总体而言，研究结果支持以下结论：与美国工作人员的情况一样，中国监狱工作人员普遍认为工作-家庭冲突会带来压力，并对他们的工作满意度和组织承诺产生负面影响。
