Aims: The military forces protect the country's independence and security, and due to their inherent characteristics, they are always faced with numerous job issues, and the physical and mental health of these employees is at risk. The present study was conducted to investigate the structural model of the relationship between organizational support, job stress, and quality of work life with depression with the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in employees of Tehran Police Stations.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this correlational descriptive research was all the employees of Tehran Police Stations, and 350 of their forces were selected as the research sample by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Research tools included the Beck Depression Inventory, Eisenberger's Organizational Support, Iran Police Stress Scale, Walton's Quality of Work Life, and Garnefski and Kraaij's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies. The analysis of the research data was done in two sections, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 software.
Findings: The findings of the research showed that adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies played a partial mediating role (p<0.01) in the relationship between organizational support and depression, and played a fully mediating role (p<0.01) between the quality of work-life and depression; However, non-adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation only had a partial mediating role (p<0.01) in the relationship between organizational support and depression. Organizational support directly and indirectly and the quality of work life indirectly affected depression (p<0.01). Job stress only directly predicted depression (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation can reduce the effects of job problems and improve the mental health of police officers.
