Abstract

Given the increase in the percentage of female employees in correctional institutions, it is important to note that female correctional officers often hold different values relative to justice and fairness than their male counterparts. The current study attempts to understand whether gender differences would affect correctional officers’ perceptions of organizational justice in Ghanaian prisons. Results indicate that women and men did differ in how they perceive distributive and procedural justice under a multivariate model controlling for demographics and job-related attitudes. This implies that the job model hypothesis might better explain female officers’ perceptions of workplace justice than a gender model hypothesis in Ghanaian corrections.

摘要

鉴于在惩教机构中女性雇员的比例有所增加，必须注意的是，女性惩教人员在司法公正方面通常与男性相比具有不同的价值观。当前的研究试图了解性别差异是否会影响加纳监狱的惩教人员对组织正义的看法。结果表明，在控制人口统计学和与工作相关的态度的多元模型下，男女在分配和程序正义的理解上确实存在差异。这意味着，与加纳改正中的性别模型假设相比，工作模型假设可能更好地解释了女警官对工作场所正义的看法。
