Abstract

In today's rapidly changing work environment, quality of work life has become vital constituent of an employee's life where the work conditions as well as the work experiences play an integral role in the psychological wellbeing (life satisfaction) of police employees. Using the data of 200 police employees this study has examined the effect of quality of work life on psychological wellbeing of police employees, leading to life satisfaction. The obtained results from Pearson's r and stepwise multiple regression analysis indicate that the dimensions of quality of work life have significant and positive contribution in maintaining psychological wellbeing (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance), of police employees, leading to life satisfaction. The findings provide valuable implication and suggestions that more researches are required to consider that positive experiences and support at workplace can definitely boost the energy, optimal functioning and positive behaviors at workplace (professional) as well as outside the work (personal) which lead to fulfilment and satisfaction in life.
