Sažetak
The paper aims to examine the sources of social support to police officers (family, colleagues, superiors) and the role of social support in relation to burnout, health, police work and general stress. The following questionnaires were used: Social Support Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory - MBI-HSS, Organizational and Operational Police Stress Questionnaires (PSQ-Org, PSQ-Op), while life stress and 4 aspects of health (general, physical, mental, and health since joining the police) were examined using questions constructed for this research. Results showed that police officers report having the greatest support from colleagues, followed by family, while the least support is received from their superiors. Significant differences were found between police officers who estimated that they had less support and those who estimated that they had greater support with regard to burnout, health, police work, and general stress. A significant moderating influence of family support on the relationship between operational stress and physical health was also found. Police officers estimate organizational stressors to be more stressful in comparison to operational ones.
