THE DISTRICT FAISALABAD POLICE FORCE'S WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION AND STRAIN THEORY

Abstract

This study examines how gender job satisfaction is affected by workplace discrimination, specifically focusing on police officers in the District of Faisalabad. Furthermore, we investigate the ways in which harassment, police culture, and work environments influence female job satisfaction and the application of strain theory. Data was gathered using a questionnaire survey, and the study is based on a sample of 440 police officers from the District of Faisalabad. SPSS and R software were used to analyze the data using descriptive statistics, regression analysis, correlation analysis, F-test, multivariate Generalized Linear Model (GLM), and two-way ANOVA. For graphical depiction, Amos used Minitab. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.84 indicated that the measurement's reliability was satisfactory. With a focus on the experiences of female officers, the study seeks to clarify the connection between gender job satisfaction and workplace discrimination among District Faisalabad police officers. Important findings show a strong relationship between female job satisfaction and workplace discrimination. The majority of participants are content with employment discrimination and are in favor of the police profession implementing strain theory. Nonetheless, it has been noted that harassment, low pay, and behavioral problems are form of workplace discrimination experienced by both male and female officers. Of particular note was the fact that female cops were more dissatisfied with their jobs than their male counterparts. These findings have significant ramifications for lawmakers and law enforcement organizations working to advance gender equality and foster a positive work environment in the District of Faisalabad.
