Abstract

Policing is stressful, and this stress is amplified as a result of chronic under-resourcing and escalating red tape. Frontline managers of police play a crucial role in mitigating police stress, and improving their wellbeing. The research in this article highlights that police managers also shape the turnover intentions of officers. The implication is that policing organizations need to support their managers and leaders to develop qualities that advance the wellbeing of their staff, in order to address workplace stress and turnover.
