Based on the study of a police organization in England, this book
explores the role of social relations in the ways that people
construct, mobilize, consume, and reconstruct meaning about
wellbeing. Wellbeing is a powerful, institutionalized concept in
police organizations across England and Wales. With the emergence
of numerous policies, strategies, and practices that both
explicitly and implicitly address wellbeing in the workplace, the
concept has come to feature prominently. Wellbeing is addressed as
an issue that needs to be understood intersubjectively by attending
to the underlying social issues that shape how it is promoted or
denied. After a theoretical exploration of police culture and
wellbeing, the book traverses ethnographic data and captures
insights from individuals across the organization's hierarchy. It
explores what individuals perceive wellbeing to mean and how they
make sense of the concept. The book reveals discernible
ideological-laden tensions across the hierarchy in terms of
wellbeing constructions. By exploring these tensions, there is a
potential to understand the constructions of wellbeing and the
resultant implications for practice. This book will be of interest
to academics, researchers, and students in policing, criminology,
criminal justice, leadership/management, organizational behaviour,
and wellbeing. Given its empirical focus and applicability to
practitioners, it will also be of interest to a range of
non-academics, including police officers and leaders, public
servants, private organizations, policymakers, and human resources
professionals.
