Work Stress and Health in a Sample of U.S. Police
Keyword(s):
This study assessed responses to the Occupational Stress Indicator in the Naperville Police Department. This 40% sample of 49 police officers were compared against population norms for employed workers in a range of occupations. Although the police officers perceived less stress from “factors intrinsic to the job,” they expressed greater job-related pressure from “organisational structure and climate.” They also rated greater the competitiveness and assertiveness in their work behavior.
