Study objectives were to (1) measure the level of job satisfaction/dissatisfaction among a sample of Texas correctional officers, (2) determine if their job satisfaction level is significantly different from other workers, (3) measure the level of job satisfaction and its correlation with demographic characteristics, and (4) develop a remedial model if job dissatisfaction was discovered. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire was completed by 220 officers (176 usable forms). Data on demographic characteristics were gathered. Subpopulation analysis of the questionnaires was done using eta and analysis of variance; hypothesis testing was done for the sample means and nondisabled worker mean norms, using the Z score. Significance was determined by the use of a .01 alpha level. Finding show significant differences on all 21 variables. Recommendations for improving job satisfaction among Texas correctional officers are offered in the areas of ability use, achievement, activity, advancement, authority, company policies and practices, compensation, coworkers, creativity, independence, moral values, recognition, responsibility, security, social service, social status, supervision (technical and human relations), variety, working conditions, and general satisfaction. Appendixes include the study instrument, the factor analysis, and normative data. About 110 bibliographic listings are provided.
