{"abstract":"This study investigated occupational stress and work–life balance among 302 police officers from the District Mobile Force Battalion (DMFB) of the Southern Police District, using a descriptive–comparative research design and simple random sampling. The research determined if significant differences existed when officers were grouped by age, sex, civil status, years in service, and rank/position. Data were collected using a demographic profile sheet, the Police Stress Questionnaire–Operational (PSQ-Op), and the Work–Life Balance Scale. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Welch’s Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at the .05 significance level were used for analysis. Results showed generally low occupational stress across all demographic groups, with mean scores from 2.15 to 2.90. Female officers reported significantly higher occupational stress (M = 2.59, SD = 1.16) than male officers (M = 2.28, SD = 1.04), F(1,125) = 4.62, p = .033. No significant differences in occupational stress were found based on age, civil status, years in service, and rank/position. Work–life balance levels were consistently high, with mean scores from 3.81 to 4.25, and no statistically significant differences were identified across any demographic groups. The findings suggest that DMFB police officers generally maintain manageable occupational stress and positive work–life balance. The study proposes the POLICE CARE Program to support officers' mental health and well-being.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Marjorie Dela Cruz","Analyn Leysa"],"date":"2026-07-07","doi":"10.70838/pemj.590508","id":8334,"issue":5,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"90f17a4e4834a734e5c26d3646a116376c689ff42ac6942611b7a41bfa71f543","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Occupational Stress and Work–Life Balance Among Police Officers: A Comparative Study of Selected Demographic Variables","volume":59}
