The individuals in this sample reported being satisfied with their jobs. The sample of juvenile correctional workers had higher levels of job satisfaction than correctional officers in adult facilities. However, it is still unclear why these workers experience more job satisfaction. Future research is recommended in examining what characteristics associated with the job makes it more satisfying than working in adult corrections. Levels of work stress varied significantly based on work-related variables. However, overall workers experienced moderate to high amounts of job stress. Over the last 3 decades, a growing body of research has explored how correctional employees react to their jobs, especially in terms of work stress and job satisfaction. Using data from a sample of juvenile correctional workers in Ohio, this study sought to add to the literature on those working in juvenile corrections in two ways. First, it examined the levels of two important work reactions: (1) how much work stress do these workers experience and (2) what are their levels of job satisfaction? Second, it explored what factors influenced the job reactions of stress and satisfaction among juvenile correctional workers. Tables, references and appendix
