  • Abstract

    Purpose: Police personnel's general well-being is impacted by mental health concerns, which ‎are becoming increasingly prevalent. The rising rate of mental illness among police personnel is ‎a major public health problem. Compared to the general public, police officers are more likely to ‎experience mental health problems. With an emphasis on the mediating functions of ‎psychological resilience and work-life balance, this study attempts to investigate the relationship ‎between police officers' mental health and their general well-being. ‎

    Methodology: Snowball sampling was used to approach Indian police personnel to gather data ‎for this study using a cross-sectional research methodology. In total, 325 Indian police officers ‎finished the survey and had their answers included in the research. Smart PLS 3 was utilized to ‎do structural equation modelling analysis on the data. ‎

    Findings: The findings show that mental health conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression ‎have a substantial negative impact on police officers' general well-being. According to the ‎findings, departments must have thorough mental health support programs and ‎policies that promote flexible work arrangements and a supportive work environment. ‎

    Practical implications: Police departments may develop a more resilient and healthier ‎workforce by addressing mental health concerns and encouraging work-life balance. Ultimately, ‎this can enhance public safety and community relations by resulting in reduced turnover rates, ‎improved job performance, and increased job satisfaction. ‎

    Originality/ value: Because police officers suffer particular psychological difficulties because ‎of the nature of their profession, this study offers novel insights into this field‎.
