| C. | Theoretical Foundation and/or Conceptual Framework | Herzberg Two Factor Theory, both Hygiene and Motivation factors are linked with each other, as Hygiene factors move personnel from Job dissatisfaction to No Job dissatisfaction, whereas motivation factors move police officers from no job dissatisfaction to job satisfaction.

| G. | Summary of the Literature/Logical Fallacies | LITERATURE REVIEWIntroduction of Work motivation theories A Brief Overview of Herzberg Theory also job satisfaction models Working Environment and Job satisfaction: A Conceptual Framework This purpose of the research is to evaluate the connection between working conditions and the Puerto Rico police officers job satisfaction. The hypothesis is going to be build based on the analysis of the relationship between the variables. Logical fallacy of over generalization when it comes to the research taken place is of extreme importance to take a good sample size from the different divisions the Puerto Rico Police Department has not from only one division. | Provide an overview of the subject, issue, or theory under consideration.Divide outside works into categories and concepts (in support or against a particular position).Connect the works to what has come before your work and ideas.Provide conclusions about those works that make the greatest contribution to the understanding and development of your subject. |
| Attach a brief outline that describes the flow of your intended literature review. Describe one logical fallacy and how you will guard against this in your own writing. | |||
| H. | Synthesis of the Literature | Herzberg (1959) developed motivational model for job satisfaction and through research he found that the job related factors can be divided into two categories, Hygiene factors and motivation factors. Baah and Amoako (2011) described that the motivational factors (the nature of work, the sense of achievement from their work, the recognition, the responsibility that is granted to them, and opportunities for personal growth and advancement) helps employees to find their worth with respect to value given to them by organization. Also Sell and Cleal (2011) developed a model on job satisfaction by integrating economic variables and work environment variables to study the reaction of employees in hazardous work environment with high monetary benefits and non-hazardous work environment and low monetary benefits. This last one can be a good resource since the Police Department is a hazardous working environment because of the task the personnel have to work on. | Baah, K., & Amoako, G. K. (2011).

| I. | Implications for Future Research | Implications that I assume can happened and be work on future research are: time can be restricted to add information, accessing data instead of using an organization with several divisions like a Puerto Rico Police Department do one with few divisions to be easier when it comes to data collecting. | |
| What implications will your study have on future research? | |||
| J. | Contributions to Discipline and to Social Change | This research may contribute to social change by encouraging police officers to contribute more to their jobs and may help them in their personal growth and development, resulting in a healthy and positive working environment. Therefore, it is indispensable for the Puerto Rico police department to encourage their personnel to work hard for achieving the Department goals and objectives. Hence, a better way of life to all Puerto Ricans. | |
| What contributions will your research make to the discipline and society?Note: Social change implications are expressed in terms of tangible improvements to individuals, communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, or societies. |
