Abstract
The need for security is an inevitable result of social life. This need has evolved and changed throughout history. In the modern era, private security forces play an important role in ensuring public safety alongside general law enforcement units. Private security employees face high psychosocial risks inherent to the nature of their work. Therefore, it is essential to educate and support individuals, especially against psychological risks. Given the demanding and stressful nature of private security work, it is imperative that appropriate measures be taken to protect their mental well-being. In this context, raising employees' awareness of psychosocial risks is important to mitigate potential problems. Helping private security personnel to access psychological support will help them stay healthy. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among security employees and the results were evaluated. The primary objective of the study is to identify work-related psychosocial risks among private security employees and evaluate the impact of these risks on their well-being. The results indicate that individuals with 3 years of experience have the highest job satisfaction (3.51), and job satisfaction is higher among singles (3.39) compared to married individuals (3.07). It is also found that higher education levels decrease motivation. The study investigates the relationship between the psychosocial risks employees are exposed to, their experience of job stress, job dissatisfaction, job satisfaction, and motivation levels. The perception of the required safety culture in the workplace has a significant impact on psychosocial risk factors, highlighting the need for adjustments to increase employee satisfaction.
