Job Stress, Self-Efficacy, and Job Satisfaction in Police

Abstract

Human resources (HR) is the most decisive to the success of an organization. Organizations must have a higher value than other organizations. A successful organization attracts more attention with its strengths compared to other organizations. This study aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy on job stress and job satisfaction as a mediating variable in the members of the Indonesian National Police, mobile brigade corps in Palembang city, South Sumatra Province. A sample of 70 members was chosen based on accidental techniques. The measuring instrument used in this study is three scales. First is the self-efficacy scale adapted from the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), which refers to three dimensions. The second scale is the job satisfaction scale adapted from The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) compiled by Weiss, divided into three dimensions. And the third scale used is the work stress scale adapted from the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ), which divides work stress into 7 indicators. The analytical method used to test the research hypothesis is Mediated Multiple Regression, which aims to test how the mediating variable mediates the relationship between variable X and Y. The results of the research analysis show that β =-0.115 and p is 0.01 (p <0.05), which means that Ha is accepted, and Ho is rejected. From this result, it can be said that there is a negative and significant effect between self-efficacy on job stress and job satisfaction as a mediating variable.

The Mediating Role of Police Officers' Emotional Self-Regulation Competency in the Association between Perceived Stress and Suicide Tendency

“…Aslam and Sohail's study (2014) also showed that the professional stress of the police negatively affects their self-regulation skills, and inadequate selfregulation causes burnout by causing negative results in coping with the stress and the nding of Patapas et al, (2015) showed that police o cers with su cient self-regulation skills are more successful in coping with stress. Similarly, the inverse association of stress and self-regulation were determined in United States Police o cers (Love-Abigail, 2019), Indonesian Police o cers (Kurniawati, 2020) 2020) study has shown that adequate emotional self-regulation in police contributes positively to coping with the stress they experience during their duties. All in all, based on the direct and indirect ndings of the current study and the mentioned studies above we can conclude that, if the police o cers have su cient emotional self-regulation skills, they can cope with the stress more e ciently and as a result, they may be less traumatised psychologically.…”
