A study conducted by the National Institute <br /> for Occupational Safety and Health found that correctional staff who worked more than <br /> 50 hours per week had a higher risk of work-related injuries compared to those who <br /> worked fewer hours. A study published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology <br /> found that staff who worked excessive overtime had higher levels of emotional <br /> exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment.
