Policing and Quality Part-time Work: Constraints and Options

研究表明，在警察工作中保留已宣誓和未宣誓职位的妇女的一个主要障碍是提供和吸收兼职工作有限。一个相关的障碍是与警务部门提供的非全日制工作有关的条件。该项目使用行动研究的方法来分析制约维多利亚警察局兼职工作是高质量工作的制约因素和选项。项目成果将有助于在理论上和组织上更好地理解在公共警务和其他组织背景下执行兼职工作时质量的各个方面。

Research suggests that a major barrier to retaining women both in sworn and unsworn positions in police work is the limited provision and uptake of part-time work. A related impediment is the conditions associated with the part-time work available in policing services. This project uses an action research approach to analyse the constraints on and options for ensuring that part-time work within Victoria Police is good 'quality' work. The project outcomes will contribute to better theoretical and organisational understandings of the dimensions of quality in the implementation of part-time work in public policing and in other organisational contexts.
