Abstract:	This paper examines how community policing enriches the job of the officer over time based on work design theory. Utilizing the quasi-panel design, the pai-tsu-so officers of two police departments of the national police of Taiwan were independently surveyed in 1992 and 2003. Findings indicate that the work psychology of these officers changed as a result of the political democratization of the country that led to the transformation of the goals of policing. Although they remain satisfied with their job, they are less anxious to experience growth at work and they perceive less strongly the designed attributes of the job.
