  • Description: Using organisational justice and organisational support theory, this study examines the relationships between individuals’ perceptions of organisational justice and the organisational support they are provided, and their well-being and discretionary effort. A hypothesised model was developed and tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse multi-wave data (N = 559) from police officers and police staff working in an English police force. The results show that procedural justice was positively associated with individual well-being and discretionary effort. POS was found to mediate these relationships. The findings highlight the importance of procedural justice in policing for increasing police officer and staff well-being and discretionary effort and that these relationships occur through a mechanism of individuals feeling that the organisation cares about their well-being and recognises and appreciates their contributions at work. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
