Abstract

Abstract: The quality of work life of women police in Chennai has been a subject of growing interested and concern in recent years. This study aims to explore the various dimensions of the quality of work life of women police officers in Chennai, including job satisfaction, work environment, work-life balance, and overall well-being. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, to gather data from women police officers in Chennai. The results of the study suggest that women police officers in Chennai face numerous challenges in their work environment, including a lack of support from their male counterparts, limited opportunities for career advancement, and poor working conditions. Despite these challenges, the majority of women police officers in Chennai report a high level of job satisfaction and a strong commitment to their profession. Overall, the findings of this study highlight the need for greater support and resources for women police officers in Chennai, as well as for further research into the factors that contribute to their quality of work life. The present study investigated the influence of quality of work life (QWL) on career development among women police officers in Chennai, India. A total of 200 women police officers were selected as the sample for the study. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring QWL and career development. The results indicated that QWL significantly predicted career development among women police officers. Specifically, work-life balance, job security, and social support were significant predictors of career development. These findings suggest that improving QWL can enhance career development among women police officers. The study provides insights into the factors that influence career development among women police officers, which can be useful for policymakers and organizations to improve their working conditions and support women's career development in the police force.
