IMPLEMENTING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE: FROM TRADITIONAL TO NEW GENERATION JAIL OPERATIONS

Linda L. Zupan and Ben A. Menke

Review of Policy Research, 1988, vol. 7, issue 3, 615-625

Abstract: The recent introduction of the New Generation, podular/direct supervision philosophy of jail architecture and inmate management dramatically changes the nature and design of the work performed by custodial staff. In particular, the new philosophy has the potential to “enrich” the job of correctional officers. Using before and after data gathered a t one institution, we address whether job enrichment is an outcome of the transition from traditional to podular/direct supervision detention facility design, and whether enrichment of the job affects employee perceptions of the work and of the organization.
