Assessment Management of Stress among the police
officers at three different job levels/positions in
Andhra Pradesh
Introduction
Stress is a felt condition wherein an individual experiences a number of unusual
emotions that resulted from the existing demands in the environment, nature of work
and one's capacities, unaware constraints and individual's tolerance towards stress
stimuli. Stress stimuli are related to what he or she desires and for which the outcome
is perceived to be both uncertain and important. Many times the stress is individualized
depending upon one's preferences, interests and perceptions of uncertainty. The
universal fact is that the stress neither benefitable to employee nor organization
It is believed that almost 20 million working days in a year are lost due to of work
related illness1. Two million work forces out of ten million in the globe suffer from
work related stress in their job span. It is noticed that half the million employees have
become long sick due to stress and sometimes in some people it caused irredeemable
illness.
The stress causing agents so called stressors exist in each and every organization.
The common stressors for many employees are work supervisor, salary, security and
work safety 2. There are a few factors that influence the individual job stress are
Predetermined tasks, the tools and equipment involved in the performance, clarity and
prior knowledge about the tasks, low level of involvement of employees in
determining the job tasks, leadership type and execution, employees physique and
organization culture.
In an organization, the risks pertaining to work performance are proportional to stress
and cause direct impact on the employee. In fact the job risks are categorized as
I) Unforeseen Risks
a) Naturally occurring unforeseen Risks
b) Man made unforeseen Risks
c) Incorrigible unforeseen Risks
II) Expected Risks
a) Remedial Risks
b) Challenge oriented Risks
c) Distinguished Risks
III Ready to face Risks
I)
a) Easy to Rectify Risks
b) Minimum loss Risks
c) Efficiency and experience oriented Risks

In general the unforeseen risks have low level information and occur any time in its due
course and it is difficult to tame the situation. In unforeseen risks low level of human
involvement has seen and the end results are inevitable for an employee. Where as
expected risks are assumed well before the occurrence of incidence and the
individual possesses relevant information to tame the situation. The stressors related
to ready to face risk are repetitive or frequently occurs which needs specialized skills,
efficacy and experience of an individual in the same field.
The relationship between stress and employee performance has been researched
thoroughly to show that increased levels of stress can negatively affect work
performance (Selye Hans 1979)3. It is known fact that the stress phenomenon has both
on an employee and relevance to the organization. It needs Jot of research on its
causative factors and its consequences. Although a number of factors i.e.,
environmental, organizational and individual, causes employees to feel stressed, the
existence of work stress itself does not lower performance (Rob Briner 1997). The
evidence indicates that stress can either be a positive or negative influence on
employee's performance. In fact, low to moderate amounts of stress facilitate better
job performance by increasing work intensity, alertness and ability to react. However,
high levels of stress or even moderate stress over a long period of time eventually takes
its toli and performance suffers
About Andhra Pradesh Police
In Andhra Pradesh, the police academy was established in 1986 and the training
activity has been taken in the year of 1993 and it has trained a good number of police
officers. The Andhra Pradesh police forces have rendered valorous services to the
public and grabbed a good number of gallantry awards Andhra Pradesh state is a
conglomeration of faction, Naxalite Terrorism and highly vibrant politics. These
characteristic features are specifically observed in a particular region. In police forces,
the promotional system is standard and a clear cut demarcation and responsibility
seen in hierarchy. This phenomenon clearly indicates that the centralized authority and
delegation is very strong among the cadres. Existence of strong bossism that followed
by follow up cadre leads to career stress and regular counseling. According to J. Kerr
(1993) the career stress mainly caused due to supervisor in the job who can guide the
follower effectively through 1) knowledge of occupational information and career
source material, 2) Making understand of career theories and applications, 3) Designing
professionalism and specialists with career development 4) developing effective
relationship and finally improving effective learning with respect to one's
confidentiality". As per earlier studies (1993) carried by G.S Rao ASCI faculty and
A. K Rao Retired IG, Jails - Andhra Pradesh, it is found that the cops with similar
hierarchy positions in different departments have different stress levels. The studies
revealed that the cops in the Anti Naxalism squad prone to express more illness than
the civil cops and other departmental cops, especially psycho somatic disorders5.

A. K Rao Retired IG, Jails - Andhra Pradesh (1993) along with G S Rao, guest faculty in NPA and faculty
in ASCI have submitted a report to Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and central Govt. on Naxalism and Social
Factors.
Thus in police cops occupational stress clearly seen than job stress i.e the stress at
similar hierarchical positions varies with the department because of uncertain risks and
task demand. In remedial reforms it was found that the immediate boss behavior at
work and higher authorities' involvement play vital role in coping the stress.
Recent studies carried by Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) and
expressed in an symposium held on 18"1 to 23rd July 2008 explicated that Group
stress varies with the operations carried at the occupation than the hierarchy position
especially cadre at hazard prone work places and life risk taking operations though
safety tools and hazard maintenance teams are in existence 6. Impact of Stress relevant
one's stress prone behavior i.e Type "A" behavior employees are more prone to
undergo stress than Type "B". In police the young and newly recruited employees'-
shows higher stress because of inexperience, location of the job and risks involved,
vibrant attitude and fear due to uncertain results while taking the operational
decisions. Where as the promoted officers at similar position have expressed low level
stress could be due to field experience and the inter relations maintained in the
service. In police system the supervisory and higher authority bond with the
subordinates' is stronger in the promoted officers than that of newly recruited. The
tools and the machinery faced by the police also plays important role in the stress
management in the police. Traditional and out dated trainings to handle the tools in
operations created havoc and life threatening fear in the police officers working
especially in anti terrorism squad, grey hounds, bomb disposal squad and Anti dacoit
wing. It is crystal clear evident that trainings in sophisticated tool management and
handling have lowered stress levels in the police.
Stress management
The public policy and political involvement in the decision making brings a
tremendous stress in the minds of police officers. In general most of the higher level
authorities face difficult to maintain the equilibrium status between polity and asocial
elements. It is known fact that the location of the posting, career promotion and inter
departmental transfers interfere with the polity in the state and that leads to stress in
the minds of police officers. Low level of meddling of polity and high level
involvement of higher authorities in the direct operation and action oriented decisions
with sub ordinates could boost confidence and successful decrease in stress.
Implementation of Supreme Court orders, issued in2007 which gives specific
guidelines to the transfers may lower the stress among the police. The accidents
remedy package, compensation and quick reaction towards risk facing individuals by
higher authorities had tremendous role in police' stress management. Performance
oriented credits and remarkable recognition by higher authorities to individual officers
gives job satisfaction among the police and lowers the stress7.
In general the police forces face ever ending demands, sudden and unusual risks,
responsibilities, work load and role ambiguity, uncertain work timings, monotony in the
job and tediousness cause continuous stress and are held for long stand affecting cops
health and job burn outs. One has to study keenly the above factors to assess the
impact on the organization to give a comprehensive scenario to take managerial
actions.
A scientific approach to study the job stress in an organization that includes measuring
the remedial actions of chemo therapy and behavioral therapy could give an
understandable state of affairs of stress management. Although stress is generally
deemed to be detrimental to performance and satisfaction, however, in optimal
quantities it acts as a catalyst in promoting positive job behavior. It is observed that
moderate levels of stress can actually enhance leadership qualities by mitigating the
effects of rival factional groups and building a cohesive work culture. The presence of
task-related stress can also lead to the building up of a competitive and challenging
work atmosphere, which ultimately strengthens the organization's ability to respond to
the challenges.
An analysis of Job Burn out factors like
1) Emotional Exhaustion
2) Depersonalization
3) A sense of low personal accomplishment could give logical judgment to
understand the
stress and can be easily managed effectively in an employee and in total an
organization.
Review of Literature
Sandra L. Bloom D. Community Works, PMB 138, (2006) found that the older
group with higher authority share the ideas, values production, have high
information diversity and possess low level stress than their subordinates.
Mark Gorkin 2005) found in stress Documentation that the executive promoted
gradually to higher positions have never experienced burnout. Because their work
flow was more organized, and they allow the middle level authorities to decide the
work priorities. The top management more functional at work environments and they
do not continue to hold the employer accountable for unreasonable demands,
Melissa Conrad Stoppler, MD (2003 ) studies explains that some stressors are
particularly associated with certain age groups or life stages like working parents,
juniors and seniors are examples of the groups who often face common stressors
related to life transitions and work transitions. He says that the higher positioned
employers observe the life style and work styles of the juniors and suggest then in
need. Thus the juniors experience more stress and seek guidance from their superiors at
times.
C.S Clarke (1990) felt that the hierarchy position in an organization is proportional
to Job Stress. He observed that the middle management tries to do too many jobs to
gain the experience in the various fields and perceive more stress. The top
management manages to delegate the responsibilities to middle management and take
only a few tasks. This clearly states that the top management under go less stress
compared to middle management.
Managerial role stressors were studied in relation to hierarchical level, length of
service, age and different occupational groups, by Natha (1980), and it was found that
managerial role stressors such as role conflicts were experienced more frequently by
top level executives rather than at lower levels.
METHODOLOGY
The study sample consists of 450 - 600 police officers having three categories i.e
Sub-inspectors, Inspectors and Deputy Superintendents of Police/Asst Commissioners
of police. These police officers were selected from Reserve Police, Law and Order,
Intelligence, Traffic and Detective wings proportionately.
5 categories X 3 hierarchy levels X 30 individuals as per need the sample either
increased or decreased.
A Questionnaire prepared by considering Sri vatsava and R. P Singh job stress
questionnaire, Kellogg's occupational stress scale, Robin's Stress assessment tool and
IMatha organizational stress measurement questionnaire etc.
Reliability calculated through split - off procedures.
Content validity calculated through interlinking observations and stimuli response
strategy.
Population constitutes Andhra Pradesh Police officers and the hierarchy levels
considered from Sub Inspector of police to Dy. Spdt. of Police/ Asst. Commissioners
of police.
Sample size varies from 450 - 600. _ /
Type of sample is simple randomized stratified sample. It could be randomized
geographical sample too.

from each existing hierarchy levels of each departmental category are taken for study.
On demand three geographical areas of Andhra Pradesh are also considered.
HYPOTHESES
1) There is no difference arr.ong the 5 departmental categories with respect Job stress.
2) There is no difference among the 3 Hierarchical Positions with respect Job stress.
3) There is no difference among the 5 departmental categories and 3 Hierarchical
Positions
with respect Job stress etc.
