PURPOSE This study aims to explore the antecedents that may lead to turnover intentions among police personnel in the United Arab Emirates.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH The data were collected from police personnel (n = 176) through a questionnaire survey, and structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships.
FINDINGS The findings revealed that the work-family conflict and job autonomy significantly correlate with turnover intentions. Alternatively, perceived organizational support does not predict turnover intentions. Research limitations/implications This research is limited by the study's subjective assessment of police personnel turnover intentions through self-reported questionnaires. It provides implications for policymakers, organizational behavioral experts and those interested in formulating effective strategies to reduce turnover among police personnel.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE This study offers a novel context as it assesses police personnel in an emerging Middle Eastern country. It provides insights to policymakers and academia concerning the factors strongly linked with police personnel turnover intentions and will help them formulate strategies for improving personnel satisfaction and advancing relationships between police and the community.
