This study examined months on the job as an officer, organizational support, and gender differences as predictors of burnout and job satisfaction. As predicted, months on the job as an officer lead to job burnout and organizational support lead to job satisfaction. Furthermore, the findings also revealed that there were no differences between male and female perceived officer stress. Several research implications and suggestions of the findings are discussed.enMental HealthLaw EnforcementJob SatisfactionStressBurnoutPsychologyThesis
