The aim of this cross-sectional study is to increase our understanding of job satisfaction in Swedish police officers by taking into account work-related stress, and sexual and gender-based harassment. Data were collected from 152 police officers working in vulnerable areas in Stockholm using sociodemographic questions, the Police Stress Identification Questionnaire (PSIQ), Sexual and gender-based harassment questions, and Job Descriptive Index (JDI). The obtained results indicated that male and female police officers reported the highest satisfaction in "people on your present job." The lowest score of job satisfaction in both male and female police officers was related to "opportunity for promotion" and then "pay." There were no significant differences in the subscales of job satisfaction between male and female police officers. The older and more experienced officers, the less satisfaction was reported in "job in general" and more satisfaction reported in "pay." Comparing job satisfaction between patrol officers and those officers who worked in internal services showed police patrol officers had higher job satisfaction in "job in general," "work in the present job," "opportunity for promotion" and "supervision" compared to their counterparts in internal services. There were not any significant differences between the subscales of job satisfaction between male and female police officers. There was not any significant association between job satisfaction subscales and having experience of sexual or gender-based harassment. Among various subscales of police stressors, organizational stress was in negative relation with three domains of job satisfaction; "job in general," "pay" and "supervision." Also, hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed organizational stress was most often of predictive impact related to various job satisfaction domains in police officers.
本横断面研究旨在通过考虑与工作相关的压力以及性和性别骚扰，增加我们对瑞典警察工作满意度的理解。数据是通过在斯德哥尔摩从事脆弱领域工作的 152 名警察使用社会人口问题、警察压力识别问卷 (PSIQ)、性和性别骚扰问题以及职务描述指标 (JDI) 收集的。结果表明，男性和女性警察在“目前工作中的人”方面报告了最高的满意度。男性和女性警察的工作满意度得分最低与“晋升机会”有关，其次是“薪酬”。男性和女性警察在工作满意度的子量表方面没有显著差异。年龄较大且经验较丰富的警察报告的“总体工作”满意度较低，而对“薪酬”的满意度较高。比较巡逻警察和内部服务警察的工作满意度，与内部服务人员相比，巡逻警察在“总体工作”、“目前工作”、“晋升机会”和“监督”方面的工作满意度更高。男性和女性警察在工作满意度的子量表方面没有显著差异。工作满意度子量表与性或性别骚扰经历之间没有显著关联。在警察压力源的各个子量表中，组织压力与工作满意度的三个领域呈负相关；“总体工作”、“薪酬”和“监督”。此外，层次多重回归分析表明，组织压力与警察的各种工作满意度领域最常具有预测性影响。
