“…Inconsistent leadership style”) that may have elicited fear to be identified, despite the guarantee of anonymity and confidentiality. Results also revealed a two-factor structure, “Poor management and lack of resources” and “Responsibilities and burden”, confirming the existence of organizational stressors and confirming PSQ-Org as a valid and reliable measure of policing job stress, such as the one McCreary and Thompson [ 15 , 65 , 66 ] referred to when creating this instrument.…”

“…In such circumstances, a second-order factor model was generated and tested ( Figure 1 ). This alternative solution examined whether a latent general reality testing factor existed (“Organizational police stress”, such as McCreary and Thompson [ 15 , 65 , 66 ] considered when they developed the instrument and also other authors who adapted it for different countries and realities [ 12 , 79 , 82 , 83 ]), in addition to two dimensions (“Poor management and lack of resources” and “Responsibilities and burden”, where all items are related with organizational aspects). Based on high modification indices, the two first order dimensions have been re-specified.…”

“…The questionnaire was composed of five major groups of questions, and the first group allowed to characterize sociodemographic data (age, sex, job experience and district). The second group was composed of the Operational Police Stress Questionnaire, developed by McCreary and Thompson [ 10 , 65 ] to assess the specificities of job stress among police officers, both for operational and organizational stress sources (PSQ-Op and PSQ-Org). This questionnaire is free for non-commercial, educational and research purposes.…”

Policing is a stressful occupation, which impairs police officers’ physical/mental health and elicits burnout, aggressive behaviors and suicide. Resilience and coping facilitate the management of job stress policing, which can be operational or organizational. All these constructs are associated, and they must be assessed by instruments sensitive to policing idiosyncrasies. This study aims to identify operational and organizational stress, burnout, resilient coping and coping strategies among police officers, as well to analyze the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of the Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire. A cross-sectional study, with online questionnaires, collected data of 1131 police officers. With principal components and confirmatory factor analysis, PSQ-org revealed adequate psychometric properties, despite the exclusion of four items, and revealed a structure with two factors (poor management and lack of resources, and responsibilities and burden). Considering cut-off points, 88.4% police officers presented high operational stress, 87.2% high organizational stress, 10.9% critical values for burnout and 53.8% low resilient coping, preferring task-orientated than emotion and avoidance coping. Some differences were found according to gender, age and job experience. Job stress and burnout correlated negatively with resilient coping, enthusiasm towards job and task-orientated coping. Results reinforce the importance to invest on police officers’ occupational health.

Police service is considered difficult and commonly regarded as a high-stress profession. Police officers deal with numerous complex daily challenges and must make split-second judgments. Thus, it is vital to investigate and assess law enforcement officers' operational stress, organizational stress, and coping strategies, as they are linked to their performance in the police organization. In this research, a descriptive-correlational study was employed using a purposive sampling method with police officers from the Municipal Police Station of San Jose de Buenavista in the Province of Antique, Philippines. The findings revealed that police officers could handle work-related issues caused by various stressors, whether in their operational or organizational functions. Furthermore, police officers can cope moderately with stress, indicating they can manage and deal with it effectively. Additionally, demographic groups perceive similar work stress for operational and organizational functions, including coping strategies. Finally, police officers' coping mechanisms often become influenced by operational and organizational stress. With this, the present study's findings strongly support the notion that operational and organizational stressors are fundamental to policing; as a result, police officers may adopt more effective coping strategies to combat the impacts of stress and enhance their work-related well-being. Police personnel may benefit from interventions and programs to reduce the effects of occupational stress.
