Abstract

The aim of the article is to examine the relationship between the facets of job satisfaction and different results, i.e., the performance of law enforcement agencies in Slovenia. The data on job satisfaction were acquired through a job satisfaction survey and the data for the performance results from internal information system databases. Seventy-six agencies were investigated. Factor analysis was employed to define the facets of job satisfaction. In addition, a three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) was introduced to measure the relative efficiency of law enforcement agencies in Slovenia. The analysis showed that the DEA scores vary significantly across the agencies. Potential improvements in outputs were calculated for those agencies with a low DEA score. Consequently, the empirical results of the article can serve as a guide for management when further exploring how to enhance the performance results of law enforcement agencies.
