Abstract

Research shows the experience of female police officers differ from their male coworkers as a result of factors related directly to gender. The current study explores the relationship between gender identity and job satisfaction among 100 female police officers using the Bem Sex Role Inventory and Job Descriptive Index scales. Correlations between demographics, gender, and job satisfaction were investigated. The results found that policewomen with masculine gender identity experienced less job satisfaction than those identifying as androgynous.
