To Analyse The Work-To-Family Conflicts (WFC) Experienced By The Police Personnel Of Tamil Nadu By Using The Fuzzy TOPSIS Decision Making Method

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to analyse the physical and mental stress experienced by police personnel due to work-family conflict (WFC) resulting from the nature of their work. Work is fundamental and essential to all cultures, even though it differs widely within and between them. WFC occurs when the work domain encroaches on the family domain of police officers, leading to a detachment from their jobs and the police organization. Police officers face various work-related conflicts, including long hours, work overload, extensive travel, and strained peer relationships. The research problem aims to identify meaningful solutions to the work-family conflict experienced by Tamil Nadu Police personnel. Based on expert opinions, major factors affecting work-family conflict among police personnel are categorized into five criteria. Additionally, three alternatives have been identified to find possible remedial measures for the problem by applying the Fuzzy TOPSIS method.
