N2  - In this study, the impact of the psychosocial work environment, namely demand, control and support, upon symptoms of depression and ill-health is examined in a sample of East Asian police personnel. Demand is found to be negatively related to well-being, whereas control and support are positively related. Support and career satisfaction are both examined as potential mediators in the links between demand and control (predictors) and depression and ill-health symptoms (outcomes). Empirical evidence is found for both mediation paths. Potential methodological limitations of the research are considered and possible suggestions for future studies are proposed. Interventions designed to increase control and support alongside assistance for career development are identified as possible effective course of actions.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
