Abstract:
The significance of job satisfaction in any organizational setting and work environment,
including law enforcement cannot be over-emphasized. This is due to the fact that job
satisfaction has the tendency to influence work productivity, staff turnover, labor market
behavior, work effort, and employee morale. Job satisfaction has long been the subject of
discussion among academic scholars, industrialists, researchers, as well as in the business
community. The study critically examined the correlates of job satisfaction from the
organizational viewpoint among officers of the Nigeria Police. Data was collected through mail
in survey from 500 police officers across the country for over a period of three months of which
437 of the surveys were found valid for data analysis, representing 72.8% response rate. The
results suggest that "the work itself, remuneration/pay, promotion opportunities, and supervision
had significant impact on job satisfaction while co-workers had no significant correlation with
the officer's job satisfaction.
