경찰공무원의 직무스트레스가 조직건강성 인식에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구 = The Impact of Job Stress on Perceptions of Organizational Health among Police Officers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the impact of job stress on police officers’ perceptions of organizational health through an empirical analysis. In the context of increasing public disregard for authority and repeated exposure to high-risk situations, police officers face both chronic and acute job stress, which can undermine not only their psychological and physical well-being but also organizational health and the quality of public safety services. In the Korean context, empirical research on this relationship, particularly focusing on police officers, remains limited.
A nationwide survey of 527 police officers was conducted. Demographic characteristics and subdimensions of job stress were entered as independent variables, with perceptions of organizational health as the dependent variable. Multiple regression analysis indicated that demographic factors (e.g., gender, age, marital status, education) were not significant predictors. However, job stress dimensions—including job demands, job autonomy, relationship conflict, inadequate organizational systems, inappropriate rewards, and negative organizational culture—were all significantly and negatively associated with perceptions of organizational health. Among these, inadequate organizational systems and inappropriate rewards demonstrated the strongest influence. The final model accounted for 56.96% of the variance, highlighting the primacy of structural and psychosocial organizational factors over individual attributes in shaping organizational health perceptions.
Based on these analytical findings, the study proposed measures to enhance the health of police organizations, including establishing a fair personnel system, expanding communication opportunities among work-related members, building a rational compensation system, providing awareness improvement training, and improving the work environment. If these measures are effectively implemented, they are expected to alleviate job stress among police officers, enhance organizational health, and ultimately contribute to public safety by improving the quality of policing services.
