- ItemDie ontwikkeling van 'n strukturele vergelykingsmodel oor die verband tussen koherensiesin, coping-strategieë en werkstevredenheid(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12) Lohann, August; Greeff, A. P.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. Dept. of Psychology.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Policework is considered to be a career that has a broad psychological impact on the police officer. The focus of most studies regarding the subject has fallen on the traumatization experienced by the police officer due to the nature of the job. The influence of intra-psychic factors on the life-and work functioning of the individual is currently starting to generate more interest. This assignment proposes a research design that aims to determine whether a person's sence of coherence and the coping strategies he/she employs (intrapsychic factors), and his/her work satisfaction are related. A further aim is to formulate a reliable structural model that describes and predict the nature of the interaction between the three constructs. The sence of coherence, use of coping strategies and work satisfaction experienced by a representative group of employees of the South African Police Service in the Western Cape will be measured during a single crossectional survey. The data will be gathered with Antonovsky's Orientation to Life Questionnaire, the COPE-questionnaire, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and a biographical questionnaire. It is proposed that structural equation modelling be used for the statistical analysis of the data. With this technique a structural model can be formulated that could offer explanations for individual differences regarding stress management and work functioning and thus contribute to the optimalization of a person's life and work functioning.
