Professional Orientation and Organizational Commitment Among Public Employees: An Empirical Study of Detention Workers
研究少年拘留所工作人员的职业取向（治疗导向与惩罚导向）与组织承诺的关系，发现治疗导向和职业安全感显著影响组织承诺，对公共部门人事管理有参考价值。
This study examines public employees' organizational commitment by focusing on the relationship between commitment and professional orientation of juvenile detention workers. Based on a study of two metropolitan detention centers in a southeastern state, the study reveals that detention workers exhibit two different dimensions of professional orientation, a treatment-oriented attitude and a punishment-oriented attitude; the workers' professional orientations are significantly correlated to different personal (age, sex, and education) and job (tenure and perceived job security) factors; and the workers' organizational commitment is significantly correlated to their job security and the treatment orientation. Implications concerning the results of the study are discussed.
