“…This result illustrates that work-family conflict can have a more substantial influence on job stress mediated with organizational commitment. This study's results complement the results of research from (Morrow et al 2019), who recommends further research to examine work-family conflict on job stress that is mediated by organizational commitment.…”

Research on job stress on employees who carry out work from home is rarely studied, so this research is essential considering that Covid-19 impacts the Indonesian Islamic banking industry. This article aims to analyze work-family conflict mediated by an organizational commitment to job stress at Bank Syariah Indonesia employees. The sample was Bank Syariah Indonesia employees who were scattered in several areas in East Java as many as 197 respondents from various branch offices and units. Questionnaires are distributed via google form as direct data collection from respondents. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling partial least square (SEM-PLS), which was then used to answer the research hypothesis. The results showed work-family conflict affects employee job stress. Work-family conflict affects organizational commitment, organizational commitment has a significant effect on job stress, and organizational commitment mediates work-family conflict on job stress. Implications for further research suggest comparing job stress during the pandemic and after the pandemic. The theoretical contribution of this research supports conflict theory and scarcity theory which says that stress in one role can limit an individual's ability to fulfill other roles, which will lead to work-family conflict.

“…These dynamics have reduced their self-legitimacy, making them less motivated to enforce the law, and less willing to work with members of the community to solve local problems (Nix & Wolfe, 2016, 2017; Wolfe & Nix, 2016). There is also reason to believe that the current climate has negatively affected recruitment (Jackson, 2018; Police Executive Research Forum, 2019) as well as college students’ motivations to enter the law enforcement profession (Morrow et al, 2019).…”

This study tests whether violence directed toward American law enforcement has increased in the wake of events in Ferguson, Missouri, in summer 2014. Using monthly data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) reports (2010–2016), we carried out time-series analyses to examine trends in nonfatal assaults on police officers in a sample of 4,921 agencies. Neither injurious nor noninjurious assaults on officers increased following Michael Brown’s death in August 2014. The findings are robust across a variety of model specifications and estimation techniques, providing little evidence of a “War on Cops” through 2016. The study adds empirical rigor to an ongoing national debate based largely on speculation/anecdotes. The impact and potential consequences of the current climate for officers’ perceptions of safety/risk are discussed.

“…Policing has relied on personal contacts such as friends and families to help recruit officers in the profession (Wilson et al., 2010). Police administrators have been reporting concerns that they are unable to recruit a sufficient number of quality recruits (McCafferty, 2003; Morrow et al., 2019; PERF, 2019; Whetstone et al., 2006; White & Escobar, 2008). Now if current police officers are not encouraging their children to follow in their occupational path, the numbers of potential applicants in the next decade will also be reduced.…”

“…In fact, 66% of agencies responding to a recent survey reported a reduction in applicants as a main concern for policing today and in the future (Police Executive Research Forum [PERF], 2019, p. 9). There are numerous reasons individuals pursue a career in law enforcement, such as the opportunity to help others, job security, or the opportunity to serve their community (Morrow et al., 2019; White et al., 2010). However, policing historically has been a profession where the desire to serve has transcended generations.…”

Being a Blue Blood: A Phenomenological Study on the Lived Experiences of Police Officers’ Children

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There has been speculation by researchers regarding the potential fears, concerns, and difficulties experienced by children of police officers, such as fears about their parent being injured or killed while on duty, ridicule and bullying, or being personally assaulted. More disheartening are the increased potential stressors facing police officers’ children due to increased community hostility across the country over the last few years, particularly among the African American community, stemming from a series of police involved shootings of unarmed African American males. Yet, there remains scant research that has examined the lived experiences of police officers’ children. To address this gap in the policing literature, this study used semi-structured interviews of police officers children in a southern state using a phenomenological methodology to explore the lived experiences of being a child of a police officer. Findings and policy recommendations are discussed.
