Perception of Organizational Support in Public Security: A Integrative Review

Authors

Abstract

An integrative review of national and international literature was carried out to identify how the perception of organizational support was investigated in studies conducted in the area of public safety. We seek to present an overview of the scientific knowledge produced on the subject among police and firefighters in the last two decades, showing the development of research over time and the main results obtained. The searches were performed using Publish or Perish software, during the period from 2000 to 2020, in the Google Scholar academic database. A total of 53 articles were analyzed and the predominance of studies in the United States with low growth indicated by Sen's slope estimator (Q = 0.25 [CI99% = 0.05 - 0.50]) was identified. The results showed that in the field of public safety, the perception of organizational support occupies an important role in the relationship between worker and institution, relating to several indicators of well-being and job performance. The contributions of the results found were discussed, as well as the possibilities for future research.

Keywords: organizational support, public safety, literature review.
