High levels of stress and numerous stressful situations are imposed by police work. This can affect not just the psychological and physiological health of police officials but also their interpersonal relationships and work-life balance. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between job stress, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction among police officials. One hundred police officials working in the state of Goa Police Department were assessed. Data was collected using the job stress scale (Parker and DeCotiis Organ Behav Hum Perform 32(2):160–177, 1983), the work-family conflict scale (Kopelman et al. Organ Behav Hum Perform 32:198–215, 1983), and the job satisfaction scale (Singh and Sharma 1986). Karl Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that the job stress of police officials is highly significantly and positively correlated with their work-family conflict (r = 0.340, p < 0.01); the job stress of police officials is highly significantly and negatively correlated (r = − 0.397, p < 0.01) with their job satisfaction; and the job satisfaction of police officials is negatively (r = − 0.091, p > 0.05) but not significantly correlated with their work-family conflict. These findings support the job strain model. The results can be beneficial for therapists and counselors to locate the problem areas among police officials. Besides, the findings could also help in developing interventions to reduce job stress and work-family conflict among police officials thus helping them to develop a healthy work-life balance. These efforts may thus contribute to improved public safety outcomes in communities.

警察工作造成很大的压力和众多的压力情况。这不仅会影响警察的心理和生理健康，还会影响他们的人际关系和工作与生活的平衡。这项研究的目的是检查警察之间的工作压力，工作家庭冲突和工作满意度之间的关系。对在果阿警察局工作的一百名警察进行了评估。使用工作压力量表（Parker和DeCotiis Organ Behav Hum Perform 32（2）：160-177，1983），工作与家庭冲突量表（Kopelman等人Organ Behav Hum Perform 32：198-215，1983）收集数据。 ），工作满意度量表（Singh and Sharma 1986）。Karl Pearson的乘积矩相关系数用于分析数据。r = 0.340，p <0.01）；警察的工作压力与他们的工作满意度高度显着负相关（r = − 0.397，p <0.01）；并且警察的工作满意度为负（r = − 0.091，p> 0.05），但与他们的工作家庭冲突没有显着相关性。这些发现支持了工作压力模型。结果对于治疗师和辅导员在警务人员中找出问题区域可能是有益的。此外，调查结果还有助于制定干预措施，以减轻警察的工作压力和工作家庭冲突，从而帮助他们建立健康的工作与生活平衡。因此，这些努力可能有助于改善社区的公共安全成果。
