Vatandaşlar tarafından polis memurlarına yöneltilen işyeri şiddeti

Bu çalışmanın amacı polis memurlarına karşı vatandaşlar tarafından gerçekleştirilen işyeri şiddetinin yaygınlığını, biçimlerini, nedenlerini ve etkilerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla, Muğla ilinde görevli toplam 544 polis memuruna anket uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca, derinlemesine görüşmelerde nitel veriler elde edilmiştir. Bulgular mesleki yaşamları süresince polislerin yüzde 41,7'sinin fiziksel şiddete, yüzde 63,4'ünün sözel şiddet ve tehdide ve yüzde 4,9'unun cinsel tacize uğradıklarını göstermektedir. Polis memurlarının yüzde 82,5'i ise mesleklerini işyeri şiddeti bakımından tehlikeli bulmaktadır. Saldırıların polis memurları üzerindeki etkilerinin "öfke ve kızgınlık", "endişe ve güvensizlik", "olayı unutamama", "verimlilik ve performansta azalma", "işe bağlılıkta azalma " ve "işe gitme isteğinde azalma " olduğu belirlenmiştir.
