The job satisfaction of staff is vital for the effective functioning of any organization. Many studies have been conducted that examine the job satisfaction of correctional officers, though mostly in Western nations. To examine job satisfaction in a cross-cultural setting, this study uses survey data from a sample of 163 correctional officers in a prison in the State of Haryana, India. We examine how job demands (perceived dangerousness of the job and role overload) and job resources (instrumental communication, job autonomy, quality supervision, and job variety) affect job satisfaction. The results indicate that all four job resource variables had significant positive associations with job satisfaction, while neither job demand variable was significantly related to job satisfaction. The implications of the study for policy are also discussed.

员工的工作满意度对于任何组织的有效运作都至关重要。已经进行了许多研究来检查惩教人员的工作满意度，尽管主要是在西方国家。为了检验跨文化环境中的工作满意度，本研究使用了来自印度哈里亚纳邦监狱中 163 名惩教人员样本的调查数据。我们研究了工作需求（工作的危险性和角色超载的感知）和工作资源（工具沟通、工作自主性、质量监督和工作多样性）如何影响工作满意度。结果表明，所有四个工作资源变量均与工作满意度显着正相关，而工作需求变量均未与工作满意度显着相关。还讨论了这项研究对政策的影响。
