Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur kriminalvårdare påverkas av sin yrkesroll samt attutforska hur de använder känslor och konsekvenser i sitt arbete. Som kriminalvårdare på enanstalt möter du dagliga utmaningar i din arbetsmiljö som kan ha en inverkan på ditt privatliv.Studien tillämpar teorier om emotionellt arbete, dramaturgisk lojalitet och rollframträdanden föratt ge en djupare förståelse.Jag använde en kvalitativ metod och genomförde intervjuer med fyra kriminalvårdare, där deförst fick besvara frågor om sin yrkesroll och därefter om känslohantering på arbetsplatsen.Denna metod gör det möjligt att få insikt i hur de hanterar krävande situationer och hur deinteragerar med de intagna.Slutsatserna visade att yrket som kriminalvårdare ställer höga emotionella krav och att de somhar daglig kontakt med intagna löper en ökad risk för utbrändhet och lägre arbetstillfredsställelse.

This study aims to examine how prison officers are affected by their professional role and toexplore how they use emotions and consequences in their work. As a prison officer in acorrectional facility, you encounter daily challenges in your workplace that may impact yourpersonal life. The study applies theories on emotional labor, dramaturgical loyalty, andperformances to provide an understanding.I used a qualitative method, conducting interviews with four prison officers who first answeredquestions about their professional role and then about emotions in the workplace. This approachallows us to understand how they manage demanding situations and how they interact with theinmates.The conclusions showed that the role of a prison officer places high emotional demands and thatofficers who have daily contact with inmates are at risk of burnout and lower job satisfaction.
