Abstract
Based on 148 interviews with European police officers, we explore the role of negative external stakeholder feedback in shaping professional identities. We find that attributional processes act as a buffer against external critique, allowing individuals to maintain positive perceptions of their profession and avoid disidentification. We discuss the implications of these findings for multi-level outcomes, including stakeholder relations and organizational learning.
