Police Organizational Commitment
Employee organizational commitment provides positive outcomes for any organization, including law enforcement agencies. Although organizational characteristics such as supervisor feedback and organizational support have a strong influence on increasing organizational commitment in other sorts of organizations, the police organizational environment is unique and can hamper the facilitation of these characteristics. The present study used a sample of police officers to test the influence of supervisor feedback and perceived organizational support on officer organizational commitment, net the influence of other organizational, job characteristic, and officer personal characteristic influences. The findings revealed that, in spite of the barriers faced by police managers, these characteristics and other organizational level characteristics were strong predictors of officer organizational commitment.
