Abstract

Police Mobile Forces after the pandemic may have been affected by the pandemic where uncertatinties regarding their job and particularly the conduct of it since police officers re mandated to be with the community. This study focused on determining the level of job satisfaction and level of stress of the officers in the 1st Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Mobile Force Company. It aimed to evaluate their satisfaction level regarding duty details, position, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, and place of assignment. It also aimed to evaluate their stress level in terms of teamwork, relationship with other members of the team, family responsibilities, emotional stress or psychological status, physical health and safety, and community perception, and determine if there is a significant difference between the satisfaction level and stress level of respondents when grouped according to profile variables. A descriptive–comparative research method was used to analyze data collected from 152 police officers of the 1st NVPMFC through a survey questionnaire. The results showed that they are satisfied to a great extent in terms of duty details and place of assignment while moderately satisfied with work-life balance, compensation, and benefits. It also showed that police officers are not stressed by traumatic events, teamwork, relationships with other team members, family responsibilities, emotional or psychological stress, physical health and safety, and community perceptions. Job satisfaction and stress level results suggest no significant difference when grouped according to their profile variables. Therefore, it was suggested that the police administration continue to sustain existing salary, benefits, and compensation packages and design new work-life balance programs while ensuring that the low-stress level is maintained through several programs, activities, and projects.
