Judges' work, place and psychological health - a national view

该项目旨在解决司法人员因工作造成的心理伤害所造成的人力、司法和财务成本问题。这种危害与提前退休、请病假和自杀有关。它威胁到适当的法庭行为、程序公平和公正的裁决。该项目力求产生关于司法官员所经历的压力的新知识，以及结合社会法律和心理方法管理压力源的个人和机构机制。预期结果包括基于证据的理解，为这一高度专业化劳动力的招聘和保留策略提供信息。这将大大有利于法官的工作能力和法院的司法执行。

This project aims to address the human, juridical and financial costs of judicial officers’ work-related psychological harm. This harm is implicated in early retirement, sick leave and suicide. It threatens appropriate courtroom conduct, procedural fairness and impartial adjudication. The project seeks to generate new knowledge of the stress judicial officers experience and the individual and institutional mechanisms for managing stressors, combining socio-legal and psychological approaches. Expected outcomes include evidence-based understandings to inform recruitment and retention strategies specific to this highly specialized workforce. This should provide significant benefits for judges’ work capacities and courts' delivery of justice.
