BRAVO-YANEZ, C. e JIMENEZ-FIGUEROA, A.. Psychologica well-being, perceived organizational support and job satisfaction amongst Chilean prison employeses. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.3, pp.91-99. ISSN 2013-6463.
This research aims to identify the relationship between job satisfaction, psychological well-being and Perceived Organizational Support amongst prison officials. 190 officials working in one state prison and one privately-run prison were evaluated using the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire1, Psychological Well-being Scale2 and Scale of Perceived Organizational Support3. The main results show a significant positive correlation between job satisfaction, psychological well-being and perceived organizational support, so that those who are satisfied with their jobs tend to feel better psychologically and perceive that they receive support from their organizations. Furthermore the study variables showed no significant differences between officials at both prisons. As regards socio-demographic figures, gender differences were found in terms of job satisfaction and psychological well-being, while no differences were found according to unit.
