Results indicated that police management reform has as much impact on police officer job satisfaction as does redesigning the work officers perform. Specific findings revealed that both Community Police Officers (CPOs) and non-CPOs reported greater job satisfaction when they have positive attitudes toward their supervisors and the department. CPOs and non-CPOs did not differ in their degree of job satisfaction. While police management emerged as the most salient aspect impacting officer job satisfaction, the author notes that community policing could be an effective strategy for raising the job satisfaction of officers with different role orientation and growth, and could allow managers more flexibility than other policing styles. Participants were 112 rank-and-file officers of the Taipei County Police Department (59 CPOs and 53 non-CPOs) who completed questionnaires measuring 5 main domains: police role orientation, growth need strength, attitudes toward management, motivation potential of the work, and job satisfaction. Descriptive statistics were generated for the resulting data. Tables, references
