KBO Template International Conference KNOWLEDGE-BASED ORGANIZATION Vol. XXVII No 1 2021 IMAGE AND ATTRIBUTES OF THE POLICE AS AN EMPLOYER IN POLAND – PERSPECTIVE OF THE Z-GENERATION Dorota KUREK War Studies University, Warsaw, Poland [email protected] Abstract: Recruitment to the Police is a continuous process aimed at supplementing the shortage of human resources, whose number for many years has oscillated around 4 thousand. Taking into account the difficulty of obtaining candidates for service, as well as high competitiveness on the labour market among employers, the aim of the conducted research was to identify the quality of the image of the Police as an employer in Poland from the perspective of generation Z, i.e. the group of potential candidates for service. The analysis also focused on the attributes of Police attractiveness, paying particular attention to attractiveness in the economic, developmental and psychological dimensions. An attempt was also made to indicate a typical image of the Police as an employer by means of subjective associations with the brand. For this purpose, potential associations associated with different types of organizational culture were distinguished, and then subjected to the assessment of respondents. The research using a diagnostic survey was conducted on a sample of 100 people in 2019. Keywords: image, attributes, employers, Police, generation Z 1. Introduction 2.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

  • Towards Multi-Strategic Police Organisations Towards Multi-Strategic Police Organisations
    Towards multi-strategic police organisations Towards multi-strategic police organisations Priit Suve Estonia Abstract: From one hand, recent police reforms in Europe had illuminated the fact that most reforms were loosely linked to problems of safety. Reasons for reforming the police are hidden in an economy, politics or some other domain instead of public order or crimes — the problems that are traditionally associated with the police. From the other hand, the wickedness of security issues requires the police to be more professional. The question is, how the police that in the police literature are mostly presented as a monostrategic organization can be linked to issues of security in a way that it could have at least a chance to mitigate these wicked problems? This article suggests that the knowledge of police management about strategies of policing and police organization should be enhanced. The article sketches out the idea for how the strategies of policing together with the view of the organization as an open system can hold the police to be more focused on its core mission and connected to the task environ- ment. Keywords: the police, policing, police strategy, organisation Introduction challenge that the police should answer, many of the latest police reforms in Europe (see chapter 1.2. below) In the general level, the core mission of the police is to were not driven and not designed to address securi- enhance and advance the internal security of a particu- ty issues.
