The Impact

AbstractOne of the professions that has a high risk, stress and burnout rate is the police. To find out the extent of police officers against the impact of burnout, we need a valid and reliable measurement tool. This research seeks to test the construct validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human-Services Survey (MBI-HSS). The data used are data obtained from 504 police officers serving in the Metro Jaya Regional Police (Polda Metro Jaya); age between 21 and 56 years old (M = 33.04, SD = 8.533); male sex (99.8%) and female (0.2%); and length of work from 3–38 years (M = 15.04, SD = 8.533). The analytical method used is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using Mplus 7.11. The test results prove that the data fit with the 3-correlated factor model that shows the correlation of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization factors = 0.966, emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment = -0.590 and personal accomplishment and depersonalization =  -0.701, with RMSEA = 0.048, CFI = 0.943 and TLI = 0.934, indicating good fit.AbstrakSalah satu profesi yang memiliki resiko, stress dan tingkat burnout yang tinggi adalah polisi.

Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas konstruk dari skala Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human-Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Data yang digunakan adalah data yang diperoleh dari 504 anggota polisi yang bertugas di Polda Metro Jaya; rentang usia 21 hingga 56 tahun (M = 33,04; SD = 8,533); jenis kelamin laki-laki (99,8%) dan wanita (0,2%); masa dinas mulai 3 hingga 38 tahun (M = 15,04; SD = 8,533). Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan menggunakan software Mplus version 7.11. Hasil pengujian membuktikan bahwa data fit dengan model 3-correlated factor yang menunjukkan korelasi faktor emotional exhaustion dan depersonalisation = 0,966, emotional exhaustion dan personal accomplishment = -0,590 dan personal accomplishment dan depersonalisation = -0,701, dengan indeks kesesuaian RSMEA = 0,048; CFI = 0,943; dan TLI = 0,934.

The article deals with the problem of negative mental States that occur in employees of internal Affairs bodies when performing professional tasks. The analysis of modern scientific research on the studied problem is carried out. As part of this study, a psychodiagnostic tool was developed and tested to study negative mental States in police officers. The authors studied the negative mental States of employees of internal Affairs agencies and based on the data obtained, conducted a factor analysis that allowed us to determine the main factors for the occurrence of these conditions. Next, a cluster analysis was conducted, which revealed three types of personality of ATS employees with negative mental States: resistant to the effects of negative mental States; little exposed to the effects of negative mental States; exposed to negative mental States. Thanks to the data obtained in the course of the pilot study, the prospects for studying this problem are determined. The set of research methods corresponds to the tasks set; the choice of mathematical statistics methods corresponds to the characteristics of the sample population and takes into account the features of the psychological experiment. The value of the research is to update the study of the problem of negative mental States as a factor of maladaptation of professional activity of police officers.

Purpose: Police officers are vulnerable to experience work stress, whatever the field or function they perform. Stress is police is complex given the multitude of factors that can result in stress for the police personnel. Literature has identified several different stressors for the police. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence work stress on police officers. Methodology: It is a quantitative study wherein sing a sample for 402 police personnel from the Ahmednagar and Jalnadistrict of Maharashtra, the key stressors for the police personnel were examined. Respondents were given the modified Police Stress Survey (PSS). Stressors for police were identified by doing factor analysis. These factors and their explanations are then delved into to appreciate the context of the work. Findings: After a factor analysis was done it was found that four key categories of stressors that are relevant for the sample are Factor1 with 9 items were measuring organisational Characteristics with variance of 26.49%, Factor 2 with 8 items measuring nature of work in police department with variance of 18.39%, Factor 3 with 3 items measuring public dealing of police while on job with variance of 8.32% and Factor 4 with 3 items measuring personal characteristics of police with variance of 7.82%. Research Limitations: The factor analysis is done using Police Stress Survey, if any other stress scale is used, finds may differ and other factors may uncover. Originality/ Value: There is dearth of studies on Police. Since this study is on stress with specific reference to Police, it has added to limited literature/ research that is available on Indian Police.

This study examines empirically distinct types of police managers. In an application of the typological methodology the present work investigates the performance profiles of police managers according to the similarity of their configurations. This research was exploratory and no formal hypotheses as to the number and nature of the types that will emerge were advanced. A total of 150 police officers occupying managerial positions from a variety of organizational levels participated in a combined psychological and managerial assessment program. Through inverse factor analysis the participants of this study were classified into three type categories: Aloof Technicians, Amiable Mediocres and Warmhearted Influents. The nature of these prototypical profiles was determined by examining the correlations between participants’ component loadings and scores on managerial performance, personality and mental ability variables. Implications addressing predictor-performance relations, implicit theories of performance, gender differences and relative effectiveness of each type in different situations were discussed.

This study was concerned with the correspondence between the classification of measures by clinical judgment and by factor analysis. Forty-six measures were selected to assess language, auditory processing, reading-spelling, maxillofacial structure, articulation, and other processes. These were applied to 98 misarticulating eight- and nine-year-old children. Factors derived from the analysis corresponded well with categories the measures were selected to represent.
