520 |a The number of private prisons run by corporate security businesses has increased rapidly throughout the past two decades. There has been a parallel increase in literature, both pro and con, comparing the efficiency and effectiveness of private and public prisons; however, private prison staff has been largely ignored.

Specifically, job stress had the largest impact on job satisfaction, while quality of supervision had the greatest impact on organizational commitment.
