“…One potential explanation for this finding is that having a generally open attitude towards new practices may be correlated with openness to experience, a personality trait measured by the five factor model of personality (Costa & Mccrae, 1992) that predicts retention in employees in organizations (Salgado, 2002). The transactional relationship between burnout and openness to new practices is an important one for future research, given the finding that burnout can diminish the motivation to try new practices (Salyers et al, 2015). …”

“…Additionally, therapist attitudes towards EBPs may differentially impact turnover, in that individuals with more positive attitudes may be more willing to “stay the course,” even in the face of implementation challenges, than individuals with poor attitudes towards EBPs. Alternatively, burnout may result in negative attitudes towards EBPs (Salyers et al, 2015). …”

Staff turnover rates in publicly-funded mental health settings are high. We investigated staff and organizational predictors of turnover in a sample of individuals working in an urban public mental health system that has engaged in a system-level effort to implement evidence-based practices. Additionally, we interviewed staff to understand reasons for turnover. Greater staff burnout predicted increased turnover, more openness toward new practices predicted retention, and more professional recognition predicted increased turnover. Staff reported leaving their organizations because of personal, organizational, and financial reasons; just over half of staff that left their organization stayed in the public mental health sector. Implications include an imperative to focus on turnover, with a particular emphasis on ameliorating staff burnout.

“…PPOs also experience several job stressors such as high caseload, excessive paperwork, tight deadlines, and role ambiguity . Studies among PPOs have also reported high levels of burnout, traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns of being threatened or assaulted in the line of duty . Likewise, lack of supervisors’ recognition as well as limited career progression path are additional psychosocial stressors that affect PPOs .…”

“…Regarding the stressors of community corrections work itself, these stressors include less time with clients due to high case-loads and job expectations requiring officers to be more authoritative with clients (Salyers, Hood, Schwartz, Alexander, & Aalsma, 2015). Additionally, community corrections officers are required to work caseloads containing violent offenders, serve clients who commit suicide, and are threatened or assaulted by clients (Lewis, Lewis, & Garby, 2013, p. 67).…”

“…Denhoff, Spinaris, & Morton (2014) demonstrate that the primary stressors related to community corrections are organizational and operational, which affects officer stress and leads to officer burnout [other research also supports this notion, (see Gayman & Bradley, 2013;Salyers et al, 2015)]. Denhoff et al (2014) also note that officer stress is caused by exposure to traumatic events inherent to work in community corrections.…”

DEDICATIONThis dissertation is dedicated to Brees and Ezra Copenhaver. Brees, you never cease to amaze me with the things you are able to do and the new skills you learn each day. Ezra, you are my little guy with those big baby blue eyes and his mommy's personality. I love you both so very much and I hope the completion of this dissertation is the beginning of a better life for both of you.iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my mentoring professor, Dr. Richard Tewksbury for his oversight on this project and for guiding me for the last year and a half. He has taught me to have more confidence in myself, to aim higher, and to never sell myself short. For that, I am grateful. He has also taught me not to take things as seriously as I otherwise would. I have already benefited from this advice and certainly will in the future as well.I would also like to thank Dr. David Roelfs for the hours he has spent/worked with me on the statistical aspect of this project. To see this project through with me, no doubt, took some patience, of which I am most appreciative. I would also like to thank Dr. Thomas This dissertation is a comparison study of health and wellness outcomes for a sample of law enforcement officers and a sample of community corrections professionals within the same state. As such, it is the first attempt to determine and compare the independent variables which are significant predictors of law enforcement officer and community corrections professionals' health and wellness for criminal justice employees working in the same context. Data used in the research was gathered from nearly identical health and wellness surveys distributed to the sample of law enforcement officers and the sample of community corrections professionals. Logistic, negative binomial, and Poisson regression analyses were performed to determine which independent variables are significant predictors of officer and professionals' health and wellness outcomes. Results show several factors are significant predictors of both officer and professionals' health and wellness, with law enforcement organizational factors being the most frequent predictors of law enforcement health and wellness.Demographic variables are the most frequent significant predictors of professionals' vi health and wellness. It is concluded that variables predictive of officer and professionals' health and wellness differ, necessitating different policy approaches designed to address issues associated with officer and professionals' health and wellness.vii
