Study on the Triggering Mechanism of Police Career Calling from the Perspective of Cognitive Assessment
Under the new situation,the connotation and extension of public security work in China have undergone significant changes,which puts higher requirements on police career calling.Therefore,it has become increasingly important to further stimulate police career calling at the individual level.Existing literatures mainly explore the triggering mechanism of career calling from the perspectives of organization,leadership,personality traits,and workplace status,but there is still a lack of investigation into cognitive factors.Based on cognitive appraisal theory,with cognitive appraisal as the starting point,a two-stage research design with time lag was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey on 500 police officers to explore the triggering mechanism of police career calling.The results show that(1)different cognitive appraisal have different influences on sense of police career calling;(2)job crafting plays a partial mediating role in the influence of cognitive appraisal on police career calling,but it is only reflected between challenging appraisal and police career calling;(3)personal reputation has different moderating effects on the relationship between different cognitive appraisal and police job crafting.The findings of the research reveal the triggering mechanism of police career calling from the perspective of cognitive appraisal,providing useful insights for the management practice of police career calling.
