The Association of Job Variables With Job Involvement, Job Satisfaction, and Organizational Commitment Among Indian Police Officers

Abstract

Past empirical research has indicated that workplace factors affect the work attitudes of police officers. Police officers ( N = 827) were surveyed in two districts (Sonipat and Rohtak) in the State of Haryana in the Republic of India. Ordinary least squares regression analysis was used to test the effects of job variables (i.e., job autonomy, job variety, training, and supervision) on job attitudes (i.e., job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment). Results indicate that variety, training, and supervision had positive associations with involvement, satisfaction, and commitment. Job autonomy had no association with job satisfaction or organizational commitment and had a negative association with job involvement.
