Effects of individual characteristics on police officers’ work‐related attitudes

Abstract

This study examined the effects of police officers’ individual characteristics, namely, ethnicity, gender, locus of control and job tenure on their work‐related attitudes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, intention to quit and career plateau. Data were collected via a combination of questionnaire survey and focus‐group interviews. Results of this study suggest that ethnicity, job tenure and locus of control have significant effects on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, intention to quit and career plateau. Implications of findings are discussed.
