Findings from the hypotheses indicated that, Work stress significantly influenced psychological well-being among police Officers in Makurdi metropolis. And the result further showed that, there was no significant independent and joint influence of demographic variables on psychological well-being among police Officers in Makurdi metropolis. Based on the findings, it was recommended that, Police Officers should be enlightened on how to manage work stress.
