Abstract

The impact of working hours on job performance of women police employees in Chennai suggest that long and irregular working hours can negatively affect their performance and overall well-being. Studies indicate that extended shifts and frequent overtime lead to fatigue, stress, and reduced concentration among female officers, impacting their ability to effectively execute their duties. Additionally, irregular schedules may disrupt work-life balance, causing strain on personal relationships and affecting job satisfaction. Some abstracts propose flexible scheduling arrangements and adequate rest periods as potential solutions to mitigate these issues and improve performance outcomes for women in the Chennai police force. However, further research is needed to explore the specific factors contributing to these challenges and develop targeted interventions to support women's professional development and retention in law enforcement roles.
