  • Title: Work stress and health in a sample of U.S. police.
    Author: Kirkcaldy B, Cooper CL, Ruffalo P.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1995 Apr; 76(2):700-2. PubMed ID: 7667485.
    Abstract:
    This study assessed responses to the Occupational Stress Indicator in the Naperville Police Department. This 40% sample of 49 police officers were compared against population norms for employed workers in a range of occupations. Although the police officers perceived less stress from "factors intrinsic to the job", they expressed greater job-related pressure from "organizational structure and climate". They also rated greater the competitiveness and assertiveness in their work behavior.
