relationship between the job satisfaction.
142 protection and enforcement officers (PEO) and 78 probation
officers who are working for probation services in Ġstanbul, Ankara, Ġzmir,
Antalya, Mersin, Balıkesir are the participants as volunteers in the study sample
and the questionnaire was administered to them. It is the very first research
analyzing job satisfaction of the probation officers and supervisory officers
working for Turkish Probation Services.
The scale used in the study is "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Inventory"
which was developed by Weiss, Davis, England, Lofquist in 1967 in order to
determine the level of job satisfaction of worker. It was translated into Turkish
by Aslı Baycan in 1985. "The Inventory" has two forms: Long one consists of
100 questions and short one consists of 20. In research, "Personal Information
Form" is the another data collection tool used to determine personal information
of probation service officers.
At the end of the research comparing the average scores of Minnesota

Satisfaction, it is figured out that there is significant distinctions between the
sub-scales of job satisfaction in terms of position (being a protection and
enforcement officer or a probation officer, educational levels, perception of
adequate or inadequate according to the number of employees in the branches
and the degree of the love of the work of staff.
