TLDR
This paper explored the effect of individual perceptions of work environment on male officer stress and found that an individual's perceptions of their work environment do have a significant impact on police officer stress, and that the levels of five dimensions of workplace stress are similar to adult males in the U.S. workforce.Abstract:
Research on police officer stress has focused primarily on the rather atypical nature of police work and extent of adherence by law enforcement agencies across the nation to the Weberian bureaucratic form of organization and management practices. This study explores the effect of individual perceptions of work environment on male officer stress. Survey data from two large police departments in the northwestern United States are used in the analysis. The findings observed suggest that the levels of five dimensions of workplace stress are similar to adult males in the U.S. workforce and that an individual's perceptions of their work environment do have a significant impact on police officer stress.read more
