job satisfaction and burnout levels of guardians in prison and to examine the
relationship between them. In this study, the effects of both professional and demographic
variables like age, work position, professional seniority and safety level of
the institution on job satisfaction and burnout levels were examined. In the scope of the study, questionnaires
were distributed to the 503 guardians who work or attended to the training in 10
different institutions in Ankara and 308 questionnaires were returned.
Demographic questions (developed by the researcher), Minnesota Job Satisfaction
Questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to measure the
demographic properties of the guardians and job satisfaction and burnout levels
of the guardians </span> </i> <i> <span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:’Palatino Linotype’, serif;">. </span> </i> <i> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:’Palatino Linotype’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Guardians completed the measures of Minessota Job Satisfaction
and Maslach Burnout Inventory. All the questionnaires were controlled by the researcher
before entering data to the SPSS 20.  Means and standard deviations were
calculated for the scales. Results revealed that the guardians have low levels
of both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction and low levels of general job
satisfaction. In terms of analyses regarding burnout levels, the results showed
that guardians have high levels of emotional exhaustion, low levels of depersonalization
and high levels of personal accomplishment. Another finding of the current study
is general job satisfaction is negatively related with emotional exhaustion and
depersonalization subscales of Burnout Inventory and positively related with
personal accomplishment subscale of Burnout Inventory. The implications of the
study for theory, practice and future research were discussed </span> </i> <i> <span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:’Palatino Linotype’, serif;">. </span> </i> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <i> <span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:’Palatino Linotype’, serif;"> </span> </i> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i>}, number={13}, publisher={İdeal Kent Yayınları}
