“…To that end, some police agencies have experimented with alternative schedules to decrease workload and improve balance. For instance, Burger and Nachreiner (2017) studied the implications of a variety of schedules on performance and wellness among a sample of patrol officers in Germany. Generally, the authors found that officers working under more flexible schedules reported more favorable feelings of balance between work and life.…”

Job-related burnout is a significant concern for researchers, law enforcement administrators, and government authorities because of its broader effects on officer health, job performance, and service provided to the public. This topic is particularly relevant amidst a variety of complex challenges and heightened scrutiny surrounding law enforcement officers, their decisions, and relations with the public. Although much work has been conducted on burnout among police officers, the aim of this study is to build on the literature through analyzing survey data from roughly 13,000 sworn respondents representing 89 agencies throughout the United States to describe the extent of two components of burnout-emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Then, based on Leiter and Maslach's (2004) six areas of worklife, this study uses multivariate analysis to identify the primary predictors of those two components of burnout and how they are shaped by the characteristics of the agencies and communities in which these officers work. The analysis indicates approximately 19% of

“…Despite the fact that numerous studies have been conducted on the analysis of burnout in police officers worldwide [ 31 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 37 ], in Mexico there are very few studies related to police officers’ psychopathologies that affect their performance, how these affects relate to their particular conditions and how they correlate with their personal profile and life style related to physical and recreational activities, even more so considering that now there is an obligation for institutions to watch for employees’ psychosocial risks as the new regulation is enforced in Mexican law. Previous studies show that relationships between physical activity, stress, and burnout have received limited attention.…”

No previous studies in Mexico have been found that jointly analyze physical and leisure activities as variables related to mental health in police officers. This paper presents research on burnout in Mexican Police officers. The question it answers is: is there any association of burnout with physical and leisure activities and personal profile? A total of 276 police officers (87% men and 13% women) participated. To obtain information, the Spanish Burnout Inventory and the Operational Police Stress questionnaires were used. A cross sectional study design was utilized with tests of validity and reliability, goodness of fit, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of k-means clusters. Results showed that a high number of policemen had high prevalence of burnout and a high level of mental exhaustion, and that exercise was positively and significantly related to lower burnout risk. Men showed higher risk than women. Results should be considered to improve interventions and occupational health practices in the police force. This paper improves understanding of burnout among policemen and the importance of exercise and leisure activities to alleviate burnout.

“…Karhula et al (2020) found that tight deadlines, performance pressures, weekend work, and a lack of autonomy regarding shift work scheduling correlate with disturbing the work-life balance and well-being of shift workers. To limit the potential negative impacts of shift work on shift workers, the organization should organize working time and schedule work shifts more concerning individual needs, providing shift workers with greater time flexibility and autonomy (Bürger & Nachreiner, 2018). A possible solution may be "self-rostering" or self-scheduling, i.e., the possibility for shift workers to choose their upcoming work shifts for a given roster period, which has its benefits for both shift workers and the organization, particularly in the sense of increased staff morale and subsequently improved staff retention (Hainey, 2021).…”

Shift work has become necessary for many industries operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, affecting individual workers and their overall well-being. Based on a survey of 1049 shift workers of various industries, ages, and genders from all fourteen regions of the Czech Republic, the paper analyzes their experience with different shift work rosters to determine individually perceived advantages and disadvantages of shift work and discuss perspective ways of improving shift workers' well-being. The findings confirm the importance of effective and efficient shift work planning and organizing to achieve demanded work productivity, desired work-life balance and overall well-being of shift workers. The analysis confirmed a hypothesis that the preference for work shifts depends on the age of shift workers. Individually perceived negative impacts of shift work included physical fatigue, sleep disorders, or depression. These could be limited by more flexible shift work scheduling to harmonize work shifts with personal matters whenever possible and thus support shift workers' work-life balance and well-being.
