Stress and performance: Investigating relationship between occupational stress, career satisfaction, and job performance of police employees

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of occupational stress on job performance of police employees. We theorized and tested the role of career satisfaction in the relationship between occupational stress and job performance as an underlying psychological mechanism. Primary data have been collected from 271 police employees working at AJ&K Pakistan. Results of this research study have shown that occupational stress is negatively related to career satisfaction, in‐role performance, and extra‐role performance of police employees. Moreover, career satisfaction mediates the relationships between occupational stress and in‐role and extra‐role performance of police employees. This research study has called researchers' and policy makers' attention towards an important issue of occupational stress in the police profession. The research will play an important role in compelling the top management, authorities, policy makers, and government officials of police to ponder over the issues of occupational stress aimed at enhancing the job performance including in‐role and extra‐role performance of police employees.

Perceived Stress and Low-Back Pain Among Healthcare Workers: A Multi-Center Prospective Cohort Study

“…Indeed, persistent stress has been associated with numerous indicators of poor health, including abnormal cortisol patterns ( 3 ), depression and anxiety ( 4 ), type II diabetes ( 5 ), obesity ( 6 ), poor sleep ( 7 , 8 ), persistent pain ( 9 , 10 ) as well as cardiovascular- and all-cause mortality ( 11 ). Generally, greater lifetime stress severity predicts poor mental and physical health ( 2 , 12 , 13 ), and cumulative exposure to work-related stressors has been linked to absenteeism from work, increased healthcare costs, and decreased job performance ( 14 – 17 ). Following this, several work-related situational- and environmental stressors have been identified in the literature, including high job demands, poor support from colleagues, reward imbalance, job insecurity, and over-commitment ( 16 , 18 – 21 ).…”
