Abstract:

In order to increase the contribution of private security which has been at the center of crime prevention policies today, to public safety, various cooperation projects are carried out all over the world. One of the most important ones of these projects is also Law Enforcement Private Security Cooperation and Integration-KAAN Project which aims to maximize the contribution of private security to public safety in Turkey by creating a cooperation culture between police and private security officers. While the project is successful in achieving its overall goals, it also has the potential to have positive effects on private security officers’ job attitudes. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is any difference between the private security officers’ burnout and turnover intention who works in the scope of Project and who don’t work. The research carried out within the framework of the quantitative paradigm was planned as a descriptive survey. The universe of the research consists of private security officers working in Isparta city. The full count sample was used in the study. In the research, a questionnaire form was used as data collection tool which contains Maslach Burnout Inventory developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and Intention to Leave Scale developed by Scott et al (1999). As a result of the analysis of the data obtained during the research process, it was determined that there is a statistically significant difference between the personal success perception of the private security officers working within the scope of the project and those who don’t work within it, and there is no difference in terms of turnover intention and other dimensions of the burnout.
