ABSTRACT
Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are among the most widely studied concepts in the organizational science literature . Most of the research on job satisfaction and organizational commitment has focused on traditional private sector samples such as factory workers, clerical employees, retail clerks, service employees , and so forth . Although it is clear that the law enforcement population represents a very important segment of most societies today, job satisfaction and organizational commitment among members of that population have been relatively understudied and segregated from the study of samples from private sector populations.
