Abstract
There have been few studies that have explored commitment among police officers in
the UK. Our research aims to fill a gap in the police commitment literature. Using survey data
(100 per cent population = 3,828) the paper analyses the extent to which organisational
commitment is shaped by: employees' experiences of the level of management support,
organisation support and performance appraisal. The commitment measure we use is derived
from the real life HR concerns of the participating police organisation ForceCo. Results show that
these factors strongly influence commitment at all ranks. Key new findings reveal that the level of
commitment varies according to position in the hierarchy, and police commitment increases with
tenure. The paper discusses the limitations in management style and personnel procedures and
suggests ForceCo needs to re-evaluate existing systems.
