The central issue of this study involves determining the importance of various demographic and job specific attitudes in predicting job satisfaction among patrol officers.
Abstract
Findings contradict much of the previous literature that suggested a predictable association between specific factors and officer attitudes. Instead, this study supports a situational approach to predicting job satisfaction. In addition, the impact of affirmative actions was shown to be highly associated with job satisfaction under certain circumstances. (Publisher abstract)
