Abstract
ABSTRACT Studies exploring how workplace factors contribute to job stress among police officers are not rare, but studies specifically examining how work–family conflict is associated with the job involvement and satisfaction of police officers are. In this study, data from 827 Indian police officers were used to examine the relationships of the four dimensions of work–family conflict (time-, strain-, behaviour-, and family-based) and other stressors (perceived dangerousness of the job, role conflict, role ambiguity, role underload, and role overload) with police officers’ job involvement and satisfaction. Time-based conflict was found to be associated with higher job involvement while family-based conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload were not. Perceived dangerousness of the job was found to be associated with higher job satisfaction while time – and strain-based conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload were not.
