The Effect of Internal and External Office Environment to Police Officers in Morogoro Municipality

Abdul Fakih

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the internal and external office environments on police officers in Morogoro Municipality. The target population for this study consisted of 451 respondents, and a sample size of 136 was utilized. Both purposive sampling and stratified sampling techniques were employed in the selection of respondents. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentary reviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were subjected to content analysis. The study reveals that substandard office conditions have a negative impact on the performance of police officers, leading to issues such as fatigue, reduced concentration, and increased stress. These factors collectively compromise effectiveness and well - being. In light of these findings, it is recommended that governments prioritize the enhancement of office environments to alleviate strain, improve concentration, and promote the overall well - being of officers. By doing so, this can lead to enhanced job performance and increased job satisfaction within law enforcement agencies.
