Although job satisfaction among police officers is a crucial issue for managing police forces, there is not enough research on the subject, particularly in India. Job satisfaction in law enforcement is crucial because it encourages the continuity of a competent and cohesive police force that works well together, adheres to proper policies and procedures, and offers the services required by the public. The corrective and statutory balance in society is crucially maintained by police personnel. But due to the nature of the job, police service has historically been regarded as one of the most demanding and stressful professions. The present paper focussed on level of job satisfaction. An attempt was made to know the level of job satisfaction among the respondents using 20 statements adapted from Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Job satisfaction was measured on various aspects, financial benefits, working conditions, work policies and public image. A majority of the respondents had low level of job satisfaction on major issues but there were some components like promotion policy, ability to enhance skills Head Constables showed more dissatisfaction.

The 36-item Likert Scale of Job Satisfaction Survey covering 9 facets revealed mean score of 129.85 (SD: 21.38;60.12%) which is interpreted as 'ambivalence' on the measuring instrument.

FACTORS INFLUENCING JOB SATISFACTION OF POLICE INSPECTORATE: A STUDY OF NUGEGODA POLICE DIVISION, 2014
Throughout the world, it has been accepted that job satisfaction is a reflection of what an employee feels about his job. Most people in employment, at some point in their lives, experience a degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their job. Moreover, they tend to be more satisfied with some aspects of their job than others are. Job satisfaction is vital because it is involved directly or indirectly with personal and organisational wellbeing. This study is aimed to assess the factors influencing job satisfaction of the Police Inspectorate in the Nugegoda Police division. The Police force is involved in citizens’ affairs from birth to death. In comparison to other organisations however, very little or no attempt is taken to evaluate the job satisfaction levels of Police officers. More than 85,000 Policemen are deployed island-wide in the country, yet it is not just the government but also the Police Department itself that pays little attention to the levels of job satisfaction. Evaluation of job satisfaction is crucial because absence of this would result in poor performance and productivity that would eventually lead to an erosion of the reputation of the Police and public trust in rule of law. Objectives of this study are to identify the factors that influence job satisfaction of the Police Inspectorate; to assess the satisfaction levels of the Inspectorate in the Nugegoda Police division and to offer alternative suggestions to raise and improve the satisfaction levels of the Police Inspectorate. In addition, the findings of this study would assist to develop job satisfaction levels of the Police officers and offer appropriate recommendations for its implementation. This study is carried out among officers of the Inspectorate of the Nugegoda Police division. The Nugegoda Police division comprises 13 Police stations and 1,692 Police officers belonging to various ranks who work for respective Police stations. The Inspectorate (the body of Inspectors) consists of Chief Inspectors, Inspectors and Sub Inspectors. There are 190 officers altogether in the Police Inspectorate. For the benefit of researching, it is easy to use officers belonging to the Inspectorate as they are considered First Level or Operational Level Managers. On the one hand, given that a large number of officers are involved, it is not practicable to take all the Police officers in Nugegoda Police division as population. On the other hand, the levels of education and the experience of most Police officers of the Inspectorate would assist to measure the criteria. Fifty Police officers have been selected as the research sample by using the method of judgmental sampling. This study is composed of a conceptual analysis of job satisfaction and an empirical research for the relationships between job satisfaction and a set of variables that include organizational, working environmental and personal factors. In reality, those factors were operationalized grouping of 23 various indicators. In this research, the correlation between those indicators and the overall job satisfaction are measured. There are two hypotheses, which hypothesize two relations between job satisfaction and those factors. By analysing the data collected from the sample of the Inspectorate of Nugegoda Police division, the level of relationship would be measured by using of IBM SPSS version 21 statistical packages. The percentage and correlation coefficient analysis is used as tools of evaluation. Findings of this research reveals comparatively strong relationship between average job satisfaction and organizational factors, which contribute to job satisfaction of officers from Police officers. This may inspire to be more emphatic for organization factors in planning for methodology of increasing job satisfaction among Police officers. Besides, the result of this research shows the average satisfaction level of officers from inspectorate of Nugegoda division as a whole and this appeals more attention to be paid for increasing job satisfaction.

The significance of job satisfaction in any organizational setting and work environment, including law enforcement cannot be over-emphasized. This is due to the fact that job satisfaction has the tendency to influence work productivity, staff turnover, labor market behavior, work effort, and employee morale.
