Correlates of Personnel Police Officers’ Commitment in Taiwan: A Comparison of Job Commitment and Organizational Commitment
摘要
Meta-analyses conducted over time have consistently revealed that high levels of commitment are significantly related to work productivity, innovation, employee retention, and the recruitment of high-quality employees. However, commitment research on policing is understudied. Thus, the current study aims to analyze the correlates of job and organizational commitments among personnel police officers in Taiwan, along with the difference in the antecedents between the two types of commitment. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses of a sample of 480 Taiwan personnel police officers indicated that job commitment and organizational commitment have similar predictors. More specifically, both workplace fairness and the nature of the personnel police job are positively related to commitments. Implications for future research are discussed in the end.
