THE WORK PRESSURE OF NON-COMMISSIONED POLICE OFFICERS AT SAMPRAN PROVINCIAL POLICE STATION, NAKHON PATHOM PROVINCE, THAILAND

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate and compare the work-related pressure experienced by non-commissioned police officers at Sampran Police Station, Nakhon Pathom Province, based on personal factors. The population and sample used in the study consisted of 74 non-commissioned police officers. Due to the small size of the population, the entire population was used as the sample group. The data were analyzed using statistical methods such as frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA.

The research findings revealed that the overall work-related pressure of non-commissioned police officers at Sampran Police Station was at a moderate level, with an average score of 3.11. When examined by specific aspects, it was found that interpersonal relationships caused the highest level of work-related stress, followed by the nature of work and career achievement and advancement, respectively. Furthermore, it was found that the work-related pressure varied between married and single officers. Additionally, officers of different ages, ranks, and years of service experienced significantly different levels of work-related pressure. The study also confirmed that these differences in marital status, age, rank, and years of service were statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
