ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE FACTORS AFFECTING WORK-LIFE BALANCE AMONG POLICE OFFICERS

Abstract

This research article aimed to 1) examine the level of work–life balance among police officers, 2) investigate the level of organizational culture factors related to job performance, and 3) analyze the influence of organizational culture factors on work–life balance. The study employed a mixed methods research design. Quantitative data were collected from 65 police officers using questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained from five key informants through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics, including correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.

The major findings revealed that:

1) The overall level of work–life balance among police officers was moderate to relatively high.

2) Organizational culture factors were overall at a relatively high level, particularly supervisory support and coworker support. However, time expectations and perceived career impact were significant issues affecting officers’ perceptions.

3)Organizational culture factors significantly influenced work–life balance at the .05 level of statistical significance. Supervisory support and coworker support had significant positive effects, whereas time expectations and perceived career impact had significant negative effects on work–life balance.
