ABSTRACT

Staff are the most vital resource for any correctional facility. As corrections is a very expensive budget item in the U.S., finding and keeping dedicated employees is essential. Organizational commitment refers the bond between correctional staff and their institution. A strong bond is essential for the safety and security of both employees and inmates, as well as ensuring that the institution runs effectively. This review explores past research on three different types of organizational commitment (affective, moral, and continuance), in order to summarize past results and to reveal areas remaining unexplored. This paper examines both the antecedents and outcomes of organizational commitment. Through a systematic review of past studies, we have identified both positive and negative workplace factors that influence organizational commitment. In addition, we report how organizational commitment affects various outcomes, such as burnout and turnover intent. Understanding how to increase staff commitment can provide a blueprint for administrators to enhance correctional operations and employee satisfaction.

摘要

员工是任何教养所最重要的资源。由于校正在美国是一项非常昂贵的预算项目，因此寻找和保留敬业的员工至关重要。组织承诺是指惩教人员与其机构之间的纽带。牢固的纽带对于员工和囚犯的安全与保障以及确保机构有效运行至关重要。这篇综述探索了关于组织承诺的三种不同类型（情感，道德和持续性）的过去研究，以总结过去的结果并揭示尚未探索的领域。本文研究了组织承诺的前提和结果。通过对过去研究的系统回顾，我们发现了影响组织承诺的积极和消极的工作场所因素。此外，我们报告了组织承诺如何影响各种结果，例如倦怠和离职意图。了解如何提高员工投入程度可以为管理员提供一个蓝图，以提高惩戒操作和员工满意度。
