The Workload of Policewomen in the Philippine National Police Health Service: An Assessment

Law enforcement, crucial for upholding laws and public safety, still presents challenges for women officers, particularly in balancing work and family responsibilities. This study focused on female police officers in the Philippine National Police Health Service, aimed to assess their workload fairness and impact on job satisfaction. Through a quantitative research design and purposive sampling, the study revealed moderate workloads across task, unit, and job levels, unaffected by demographics. The intervention program "Seminar/Workshop on Mental Health Awareness and Counseling" aimed to enhance mental well-being and job efficiency. By addressing the workload equity and providing support, this study not only benefits individual officers by reducing stress and increasing satisfaction but also enhances the unit's overall reputation and efficiency. The findings contributed to improving the work environment for female officers, promoting gender equality, and enhancing organizational effectiveness within law enforcement agencies.
