Abstract

Prison work is recognized for its inherent insalubrity, burden, and occupational hazards, culminating in substantial stress on professional well-being. This study aimed to investigate the work-family conflict and its associations with occupational metrics, mental health, and burnout among prison security professionals in Brazil and Mexico. An exploratory study was conducted with predictor assessment, network analysis, and comparative correlates between Brazilian and Mexican cultures. The findings revealed that fatigue and aspects of mental health predict the work-family conflict and significantly contribute to explaining the tension between the domains in the bidirectional model of work-family conflict. Relational and predictive similarities of the phenomenon were found among workers from both countries. Furthermore, the markers of fatigue and mental health were higher in the group of Brazilian professionals when compared to Mexicans.

Keywords: work-family conflict, mental health, prison work.
