Within the field of police psychology, crisis(hostage) negotiation is considered one of the most valuable concepts to be derived from the latter part of the 20th, and early 21st centuries. Despite this, the empirical research in this field is still in its infancy. Understanding the factors that influence negotiations and possess the potential to either help or hinder negotiators is vital to ensuring the public safety. Specifically, this study sought to evaluate the potential associations between perceived organizational support (POS) and self-efficacy within the field of hostage negotiation. The Florida Association of Hostage Negotiators (FAHN) forwarded an invitational e-mail to their membership seeking voluntary participation in an on-line survey via Survey Monkey. The survey utilized the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE; Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), the Scale of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS; Eisenberger et al., 1986), and demographic questions. The sample consisted of 89 participants whose demographics indicated that women were overrepresented versus the national mean for law enforcement, and that African-Americans were underrepresented against that same standard. The results failed to support the belief that POS would be positively correlated with self-efficacy. Similarly, the data failed to provide support for the length of time served as either a law enforcement officer or a hostage negotiator being associated with self-efficacy. Finally, the data failed to support the ability of either the length of time served as a law enforcement officer, or a hostage negotiator to moderate the relationship between POS and self-efficacy. Concern regarding the failure to find significant relationships exists due to the potential ceiling effect found within the self-efficacy scores, which ranged from 27 to 40 on a scale that could possibly range from 10 to 40. Further research is warranted based on the limitations identified in this study, as well as the finding that the male negotiators presented with longer tenures and higher levels of self-efficacy than the female participants.
