| Sumario: | Given the increase in the percentage of female employees in correctional institutions, it is important to note that female correctional officers often hold different values relative to justice and fairness than their male counterparts.

Results indicate that women and men did differ in how they perceive distributive and procedural justice under a multivariate model controlling for demographics and job-related attitudes. This implies that the job model hypothesis might better explain female officers’ perceptions of workplace justice than a gender model hypothesis in Ghanaian corrections. |
