The Indian Police JournalSummary: The present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the nature of the relationship between job satisfaction and integrity of police personnel at different hierarchical levels.The study was conducted on a sample of 350 non-gazetted police personnel(205 constables, 30 head constables, 85 sub-inspectors and 30 inspectors). The data have been collected on the police organization in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Participants’ responses were obtained on questionnaires which measured demographic characteristics, job satisfaction (Dantzker’s, 1993) and integrity (Schoorman, Mayer & Davis, 1996) on five point scales. Statistical analysis of the data through one-way ANOVA showed there were significant differences between the constables, head constables, sub-inspectors and inspectors participants with regard to job satisfaction and integrity. Mean ranking of job satisfaction reported by the police personnel at different ranks revealed that highest levels were observed among inspectors (M=71.96) followed by, head constables (M=66.80), sub-inspectors (M=64.30) and constables (M=61.70). Mean ranking of integrity reported by the police personnel showed highest levels among head constables (17.53), followed by inspectors (17.23), sub-inspectors (16.64) and constables (14.21). Correlation and simple regression analysis showed a positive correlation and significant prediction of integrity among police personnel by job satisfaction at different ranks under study. The results of this survey have important implications for police organizations which aim to promote job satisfaction for eradicating corruption by rewarding police personnel for their integrity. – Reproduced
