Purpose. To determine the condition, structure and key predictors of job satisfaction of Ukrainian police officers. The study involved police officers of the National Police of Ukraine (age – 19-50 years, n = 203 – men, n = 52 – women). The questionnaire was applied. The results of the questionnaire were processed by mathematical statistics methods. coworkers, supervision and the nature of work. The most significant correlation is revealed between the gender and the level of satisfaction with fringe benefits, pay, operating conditions. Ukrainian subordinate police staff members less satisfied with the job than their line managers (average means are 108.2 and 117.6 respectively). The correlation matrix indicates that there are no multicollinear factors: all aspects of job satisfaction of police officers do not have a high correlation with each other (r<0.7). The multiple regression analysis confirms that the level of satisfaction with some aspects of the job (promotion, supervision, coworkers and communication) explains 82.6% of the sample. Such data can be considered the most influential predictors. The revealed condition and structure of satisfaction of Ukrainian police officers testify to its risk level and the necessity of its constant monitoring. The level of the police officers physical fitness confirmed a weak correlation with the total condition of job satisfaction. It is required a separate study devoted to the police officers, whose activities are associated with the significant physical load.

The article is devoted to the effects of job satisfaction of penitentiaries on their burnout in a developing country. Postmodern as an age of freedom and expansion of individualism contrasts with the role of penitentiaries, obliged to restrict the freedom of other people, and also exacerbates the dual nature of penitentiaries, responsible for both supervision and correction of convicts. The authors used JSS to measure job satisfaction with workers in correctional facilities of Ukraine (n = 78) and MBI-HSS to identify their level of professional burnout. The authors used descriptive statistics methods, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Shapiro-Wilk test. the correlation analysis with the Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient and Fisher's criterion. A high level of correctional staff burnout was revealed in comparison with other developed and developing countries. Vocational burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) is likely to be affected by dissatisfaction with contingent rewards, communication field, and operating conditions. At least a statistically significant relationship between these phenomena has been identified. At the same time, only a weak relationship between the total job satisfaction and the aggregated global measure of burnout was revealed. Along with a high level of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, officers have maintained a high level of personal accomplishment, which requires additional research and application of another methods.
