Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assesses whether supervisor justice is linked to COVID-19 negative and positive impacts directly and indirectly through the mechanisms of stress and resiliency among auxiliary police in China.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilized survey data from more than 300 auxiliary police in a large Chinese provincial capital city in 2020. Structural equation modeling was conducted to analyze the direct and indirect relationships between supervisor justice and COIVD-19 impacts.FindingsResults indicate that supervisor justice connects to COVID-19 negative impacts indirectly through stress. Supervisor justice is also indirectly related to positive impact through resiliency.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings' generalizability is limited due to using a nonrandom sample of officers. Officers' emotional states in the forms of stress and resiliency are important in mediating the association between supervisory justice and COVID-19 impacts.Originality/valueThe present study represents one of the first attempts to empirically investigate the occupational experiences of a vital group of frontline workers in Chinese policing. This study also generates evidence to support the importance of officers' emotional conditions in reducing negative COVID-19 impacts in an authoritarian country.

新冠肺炎疫情对中国辅警的影响

目的通过中国辅助警察的压力和弹性机制，评估监督正义是否与COVID-19的负面和积极影响直接和间接相关。设计/方法/方法本研究利用了2020年中国某大型省会城市300多名辅警的调查数据。采用结构方程模型分析了监督公正与covid -19影响之间的直接和间接关系。研究结果表明，主管公正通过压力间接与COVID-19负面影响相关。管理者公正也通过弹性间接与积极影响相关。研究局限性/意义由于使用了非随机的军官样本，研究结果的普遍性受到限制。警察的压力和复原力形式的情绪状态在调解监督司法与COVID-19影响之间的关联方面很重要。原创性/价值本研究是首次尝试对中国警务一线工作人员的职业经历进行实证调查。本研究还提供了证据，证明在专制国家，军官的情绪状况对于减少COVID-19的负面影响至关重要。
