Abstract
Based on a survey of approximately 700 probation officers, gender differences in job burnout, job satisfaction, and role conflicts were examined; except for isolated instances, differences were not found. The lack of difference was attributed to the similar task environments facing both female and male officers. The major implication of the research is that both policy makers and researchers should devote attention to the job problems facing all probation officers, female and male alike, rather than mistakenly hypothesizing that gender is a critical variable.
