Lived Experiences of Married Non-Commissioned Female Police Officers
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 9
Abstract
Using the qualitative approach, this research delved into the lived experiences of thirteen female police officers serving the Philippine National Police (PNP) to understand how they navigate and cope with the unique challenges inherent in their profession. Today, women constitute a significant part of the PNP, holding key organizational positions. Their success is attributed to their determination, hard work, and resilience, challenging traditional gender roles to make a meaningful impact in their communities. The findings underscore the myriad challenges faced by female police officers, particularly concerning work-family conflict, gender inequality, and navigating a male-dominated field. The data illuminates the influence of cultural context, deeply ingrained family values, and societal expectations, highlighting the significant impact on married female officers. The strong emphasis on traditional family roles within Filipino culture, coupled with the collectivist family structure, introduces distinct challenges, shaping the experiences of these officers as they strive to balance demanding law enforcement careers with familial responsibilities. Addressing these multifaceted challenges necessitates a comprehensive and culturally sensitive approach. Beyond the overarching goal of changing societal norms and attitudes, specific attention must be given to tailoring support systems to the unique cultural context of the Philippines. This includes the imperative implementation of policies that recognize and accommodate the distinctive challenges married female officers face, such as addressing work-family balance issues and managing societal expectations placed upon them and their families.
