  abstract: The principal goals of this study were to identify and to compare according to gender the occupational stress variables associated with county jail correctional officers and their immediate supervisors, Toward these ends, five research questions were developed: 1.To what level do county jail correctional officers and their first-level supervisors perceive job-related stress? 2.What are the sources of stress as perceived by county jail correctional officers and their first-level supervisors? 3 .How does stress experienced by county jail correctional officers and first-level supervisors manifest itself? 4.How do county jail correctional officers and their first-level supervisors manage stress? 5.How do stress levels, stress sources, stress manifestations, and stress management techniques vary by gender and employment position? The answers to these questions were sought through sequential steps in the research process: (a) identification of self-reporting questionnaires which measure occupational stress, (b) incorporation of the instruments with relevant demographic items into a mail survey, (c) distribution of the questionnaires to a randomly selected sample of county jail employees in Texas, and (d) analysis of the gathered data according to the five research questions. Although the findings of statistically significant differences between males and females were limited in the study, it was apparent from the results of the research that gender acts as a moderator affecting how stress is perceived, manifested, and managed. The practical significance of the study was to provide county jail administrators with a framework for the development of stress management training programs and sound decisionmaking on related policy issues.
