| As the "last mile" of political and legal work,prisons bear the important responsibility of punishing and re-educating criminals and importing "qualified products" to society,which plays an important role in maintaining social stability and protecting people’s lives and property.People’s police in prisons realize the functions of prison work through prison management,execution of sentences and re-education of criminals.Due to the special nature of prison work,prison police,especially grass-roots prison police are in a closed working environment for a long time,with special and complex re-education targets,high risks of law enforcement,and heavy pressure of supervision tasks.Coupled with the reduction of family care due to long hours of duty,the limited space for promotion in the grassroots positions,and the "egalitarian" distribution method of remuneration disproportionate to the contribution and other problems,there are more prominent problems of job burnout in the grassroots prison police.The construction of the prison police team in Prison P is also facing the problem of high pressure,low professional identity and job burnout of grassroots police.The new requirements of prison work in the new era is proposed,in order to further accelerate the development of prison work.The quality of the team is the key,and it is urgent to solve the current problem of the job burnout of grassroots police in Prison P.By carefully reviewing and sorting out the relevant literature at home and abroad,this paper defines the concepts of job burnout,job satisfaction,job performance,and public service motivation,and takes the theoretical models of job burnout:three-dimensional job burnout theory,motivation theory,and public service motivation theory as the theoretical basis.Based on previous studies,the research hypotheses that burnout dimensions and job performance show a significant negative relationship,that job satisfaction has a mediating role between the effects of burnout on job performance,and that public service motivation has a moderating role between job burnout and job performance.By selecting the grassroots police officers in Prison P as the research object,and using the Maslach Burnout Scale,the Job Performance Scale,the Job Satisfaction Measurement Scale,and the Public Service Motivation Scale to develop the questionnaire,a questionnaire survey was conducted on 314 grassroots police officers in Prison P.298 valid questionnaires were collected.Statistical analysis was conducted from three dimensions of job burnout(emotional exhaustion,cynicism,and lack of achievement)by using software such as SPSS25.0etc to scientifically evaluate the current situation of job burnout in Prison P police officers.And the mean values of the three dimensions were measured to determine the burnout level of grassroots police officers in Prison P.At the same time,descriptive analysis of the socio-demographic variable characteristics of the questionnaire sample and the analysis of the test of variance in the four dimensions of job burnout,job satisfaction,public service motivation,and job performance,as well as the correlation and regression analysis between the dimensions,were conducted to further test the research hypotheses regarding the relationship between the variables based on the results of the analysis.Thus,it provides a basis for the proposed countermeasures to alleviate the job burnout in prison police officers in Prison P.The findings of the study are as follows.Firstly,the job burnout of grassroots police officers in Prison P was at a moderate level,mainly in terms of physical and mental exhaustion,emotional anxiety,reduced enthusiasm for work and low sense of personal accomplishment etc.Secondly,the higher the level of job burnout,the lower the level of job performance,and the dimensions of job burnout showed a significant negative relationship with job performance.Thirdly,job satisfaction plays a mediating role between the two variables of job burnout and job performance.Fourthly,the effect of the mediating variable job satisfaction on the dependent variable job performance is significant through the control variable job burnout.Job satisfaction plays a mediating role between the two variables of job burnout and job performance.Fifthly,the correlation between job burnout and job performance diminishes when public service motivation is higher.Public service motivation plays a moderating role between the two variables of job burnout and job performance.Therefore,based on the analysis of the current situation,performance,and causes of job burnout among the grassroots police in Prison P,combined with the study of the relationship between four variables: job burnout,job satisfaction,public service motivation,and job performance,and from the perspective of the actual work of the grassroots police in Prison P,this paper focuses on the construction level of the grassroots police in Prison P and proposes targeted countermeasures to solve the problem.By exploring the channels and measures to relieve the work pressure of police officers,it can effectively alleviate the job burnout of grassroots police officers,improve the rights and interests protection system,enhance the job satisfaction of grassroots police officers,establish a sound incentive mechanism and improve the motivation level of public services.In that way,the impact of job burnout of grassroots police officers in Prison P can be effectively reduced,the construction of professional identity of grassroots police officers can be further strengthened,a police force with a sense of belonging can be created,the quality of prison work can be better improved,and a guarantee of talents can be provided for the creation of professional,vocational and high-level prisons. |
