Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and burnout among police officers at the Gorontalo Regional Police. The research employed a quantitative approach using the Spearman Rank correlation method, involving 73 police officers selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using self-efficacy and burnout scales developed based on Bandura’s theoretical framework and Maslach’s burnout concept. The analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 for Windows. The result showed a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy and burnout in police officers (r = -0.830, p = 0.001), indicating that higher levels of self-efficacy are associated with lower levels of burnout, and vice versa. These findings suggest that self-efficacy plays an important role as a protective factor that helps police officers manage job stress, maintain emotional stability, and sustain motivation in demanding work environments. Strengthening self-efficacy may therefore contribute to reducing burnout levels and improving psychological well-being among police personnel.
