Research indicates that women are still underrepresented in policing and that police culture is not fully accepting of its sisters in blue. As police organizations strive toward building an inclusive workforce, we must understand how women, already in the field, view their place and experiences within their jobs, organizations, and workgroups. Thus, in the current research, we use a comparative sample (n = 832) of male and female officers to examine perceptions of fit in the job, organization, and workgroup, and how these perceptions relate to reports of workplace incivilities. Findings indicate that women "fit in"with the job and the broader agency, but they are less likely than men to feel they belong within their workgroup. This relationship was partially mediated by workplace incivilities, indicating that women’s experience of subtle forms of discrimination partially explains their lower levels of fit in their workgroup.

研究表明，在治安方面，妇女人数仍然不足，而且警察文化还没有完全接受蓝色的姐妹。在警察组织努力建立包容性劳动力的过程中，我们必须了解已经在该领域工作的妇女如何看待她们在工作，组织和工作组中的位置和经历。因此，在当前的研究中，我们使用 男性和女性官员的比较样本（n = 832）来检查适合工作，组织和工作组的观念，以及这些观念与工作场所不道德报道的关系。调查结果表明，妇女“适合”有了这份工作和更广泛的代理，但他们比男人更不可能觉得自己属于自己的工作组。这种关系部分是由工作场所的不道德行为所调解的，表明妇女对微妙形式歧视的经历部分解释了她们在工作组中的适应水平较低。
