Stress and Burnout Research Policing Practices and Perceptions Workplace Health and Well-being

Abstract

Sources of police stressors, job attitudes, and psychological distress were measured and analyzed from a sample of 103 police officers. Analysis indicated that police organizational stressors, mediated by job satisfaction and organizational goal orientation, increased psychological distress 6.3 times more than inherent police stressors. The indirect effect of organizational and inherent stressors appeared to nullify the distress-reducing potential of increased job satisfaction. Results are discussed in terms of these findings and the possible implications for further studies and intervention.
