Life_Balance_of_Police_Officers_A_Literature_Review_Article_Info

Based on the above considerations, it is crucial to examine the factors

influencing work-life balance and the implications of these factors for police

officers. This study aims to summarize and review the findings from previous

research concerning the determinants and effects of work-life balance on police

personnel. Of the 20 articles we reviewed, only the article by Coleman (2021)

addressed the determinants and consequences of work-life balance for police officers.

Therefore, the novelty of this study lies in proposing a conceptual

framework concerning the factors and effects of work-life balance for police officers,

distinguishing it from prior research.

It is crucial for police institutions to prioritize the balance between professional

duties and personal lives of their members to ensure optimal mental and physical well-

being. Efforts to bolster work-life balance can be achieved through the implementation

of flexible working hour policies, setting realistic job expectations, and providing

sufficient psychological support. Facing the challenges of work-life balance,

police institutions should adopt strategies grounded in theories identified by

researchers Kaushal and Parmar (2019). One approach that can be embraced is

the integrative model of work-life balance. This model recognizes the

intricate, reciprocal relationship between professional duties and personal life. Hence,

the police force should emphasize work schedule flexibility, allowing personnel to
manage their time more effectively between professional tasks and family time.

Moreover, it is vital for police institutions to implement the concept of

support enrichment. In this theory, Kaushal and Parmar (2019) underline the

significance of social and organizational support in fostering a better work-life balance.

Police institutions should establish a supportive working environment where team

members feel emotionally and practically supported by colleagues and

leadership. Initiatives such as employee wellness programs, psychological

counseling, and stress management training can assist in addressing pressures that

could disturb this balance. When integrating these theories, police organizations must

ensure that applied policies and practices focus not only on professional tasks but also

recognize the personal needs of the personnel. In doing so, police institutions can forge

a balance between work productivity and personal life quality, allowing team members

to make optimal contributions while maintaining their well-being. Based on the above

discourse, we synthesize that factors affecting work-life balance can be categorized into

three main factors:a. Demographic factors encompassing gender, age, marital status,

and educational level.b. Work-related factors including workload, reward system, job

stress, promotion, role, working hours, initiatives taken by the organization, job

professionalism, and quality of work life, and weekend assignments.c. Personal-related

factors such as emotional intelligence, social background, sleep duration, opportunities

for family gatherings, and leisure hours. These three aspects can influence the quality of

work-life balance among police officers. Therefore, efforts to address a lack of work-life

balance should aim to foster self-development, boosting individual and

organizational performance. This equilibrium is essential as an individual's

optimal performance is crucial for any organization's growth and the personal

growth of the employee (Anjum, 2021). Thus, both individual and organizational

performance aspects are equally significant. Based on this, we propose a conceptual

framework for future research, illustrated in Figure 2 that follows.

PNP civic assistance refers to the involvement of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in
providing support and assistance to the community in various non-law enforcement
activities. This includes engaging in initiatives that promote public safety, community
development, and social welfare. The operational definition of PNP civic assistance
involves activities such as disaster response and relief operations, medical missions,
environmental conservation efforts, traffic management assistance, and community
outreach programs. These activities aim to enhance the relationship between the police
and the community, foster trust, and contribute to the overall well-being and
development of the society.

Organizational effectiveness refers to the extent to which an organization achieves its

goals and objectives efficiently and successfully. It is a measure of how well an
organization utilizes its resources, implements strategies, and adapts to changes in its
internal and external environment to accomplish its mission. The operational definition
of organizational effectiveness involves assessing various factors, such as productivity,
profitability, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, innovation, and overall
performance. It also considers the organization's ability to meet stakeholder
expectations, maintain a competitive advantage, and sustain long-term success.
Achieving organizational effectiveness requires effective leadership, strategic planning,
efficient processes, strong communication, and continuous improvement efforts.

The correct work-life balance is likely to change over time and while people

struggle to create a situation that enables employees to incorporate their personal or

family life, the employees must find means of creating the best work-life balance for

themselves. When employers allow workers to work in flexible conditions, they improve

the lives of the employees by providing the best work-life balance for being productive

at work. The current outlook of parenting means that more parents and particularly

fathers would like to be able to work in a flexible environment so that they can spend
some time with their families and be more active in raising their children. Flexibility is

important for those who provide care for them to balance their responsibilities to provide

care with their employment.

Questions are being raised regarding the conventional explanations of what must

be done to succeed in the corporate world. Many people particularly employees have

come to the realization that they want to get involved with their families having to give

up their advancement opportunities or their income. For many employees’ lives, time

has become the new currency and they require more of it. It is exciting for those who

know how to spare time for their families and still grow in their career. However, a

majority of employees are forced to make tough decisions regarding their life. As the

discussions about work-life balance increases, organizations as well as individuals must

recognize and pay attention to these vital issues. Currently, when candidates are

choosing the organization to work for, their main consideration is whether the

organization allows their workers to concentrate on a balance between their work and

their personal lives. Individuals should find ways to create the correct balance between

their work and life.
