520 |a Mentorship produces numerous positive outcomes for organizations, including job satisfaction. Despite findings from other career sectors, little research has systematically investigated whether mentorship improves job satisfaction among police officers. The present study seeks to fill a gap in the research. Relying on police culture as a theoretical framework, this study investigates whether mentorship improves job satisfaction and whether mentorship mitigates the negative effects of scrutiny from superiors, a core feature of the police occupational culture. Analysis of survey data from police officers in a large, municipal department in the United States indicates that scrutiny from supervisors and, especially, from top managers reduce officers’ job satisfaction, but that mentorship increases satisfaction and slightly mediates the effects of scrutiny. The findings suggest police executives seeking to improve officers’ job satisfaction can do so by fostering mentoring, both formal and informal, within the organization and by ensuring officers feel supported by top management.
