There has been little research on the role of trainers in organizational identification, which refers to how members of an organization define themselves in relation to that organization. The aim of this study was specifically to examine first the links between the quality of the trainer-newcomer relationship, clarity of the trainer’s expectations, and affective organizational commitment, and secondly the mediating role of organizational identification in these relationships. Participants were 852 French police officers attending a training course. Structural equation modeling revealed that the quality of the trainer-newcomer relationship and clarity of expectations were related to affective organizational commitment, and that organizational identification acted as a mediator between these two factors and the outcome. Based on these findings, practical suggestions and directions for future research are discussed. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 28/8/2019 Research article Exploring the Impact of Retirement on Police Officers Wellbeing This paper examines the impact of retirement on police officers. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 20 police retirees from Queensland, Australia, we explore the impacts of retirement on police officers’ sense of wellbeing as well as the coping strategies utilised by retirees in the transition from paid employment to retirement. We found experiences of retirement varied amongst participants depending on the role they had whilst policing, the type of social interactions they had pre and post retirement and their financial position. Common themes include conflicting emotions, relevance deficit, anger and disappointment, financial issues and the loss of social networks. Coping mechanisms involved psychological counselling, expanding external social networks and seeking out other interests and hobbies in the lead up to/upon retirement. We suggest these findings can enable policing organisations to provide improved support for police officers leading up to retirement.
