Pengaruh Keseimbangan Kerja-Kehidupan Ke Atas Kesejahteraan Psikologi Polis Di Raja Malaysia (Pdrm) Di Musim Pandemik Covid-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 disease is a pandemic that has affected the entire world with an alarming infection rate. The spread of this pandemic has required the government to take drastic measures to curb the problem from further infecting the population. In this regard, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has played a vital role in assisting the government to control the spread of COVID-19. The objectives of this study are fourfold: to examine the relationship between work-life balance and the psychological well-being of PDRM personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic, to assess the impact of work-life balance on the psychological well-being of PDRM personnel, to identify the most influential aspect of work-life balance affecting psychological well-being among PDRM personnel, and to investigate gender differences in the influence of work-life balance on psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study adopts a quantitative research design with a non-probability sampling method. The target population consists of PDRM personnel who were on duty during the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia. This group was selected because they were directly involved and experienced the actual challenges during the MCO. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a total sample size of 364 respondents. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).The findings of this study reveal a significant relationship and impact between work-life balance and the psychological well-being of PDRM personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is no significant difference between genders in the influence of work-life balance on psychological well-being among PDRM personnel. Therefore, further studies on work-life balance aspects that affect human psychological well-being should be explored more deeply and expanded to help create a healthy and balanced society.
