Measuring work stress among correctional staff Details Title Measuring work stress among correctional staff: A Rasch measurement approach Contributor(s) Higgins, George E. (author)Tewksbury, Richard (author)Denney, Andrew (author) Located In Journal of applied measurement ISSN 1529-7713 Date 2013 Abstract Today, the amount of stress the correctional staff endures at work is an important issue. Research has addressed this issue, but has yielded no consensus as to a properly calibrated measure of perceptions of work stress for correctional staff. Using data from a non-random sample of correctional staff (n=228), the Rasch model was used to assess whether a specific measure of work stress would fit the model. Results suggest that three items accurately represented correctional staff perceptions of work stress. Accession Number 23270982
