Summary

This thesis deals with the qualitative and quantitative performance standards of prison officers in Greece. This thesis is a pioneering and innovative research on the field of the evaluation of prison officers in Greece. The research focuses on understanding the evaluation and performance improvement of correctional officers. More specifically, the theoretical background on prison employees and institutions is explored and performance standards of prison staff in Greece and internationally are listed, based on which the relevant analysis is implemented in the central part of the paper. In the following, for the collection of the necessary information, the rural guarding establishment of Agia in the prefecture of Chania is examined and the job analysis and job description of an employee from the guarding establishment is constructed and presented. The data are drawn from both the relevant legislation and from the implementation of a personal interview with an employee of the security department of this institution. Based on the collected information, efficient qualitative and quantitative evaluation criteria for employees are presented utilizing the "SMART" framework to effectively apply these standards in the evaluation process. Finally, the summary of the findings demonstrates the effective creation of efficient qualitative and quantitative evaluation criteria for prison employees in Greece, listing relevant future extensions for further improvement of these criteria.
