The author of the thesis: Miglė Rastenytė, Vilnius, Vilnius University, 2024, 55 pages (with appendixes). This master thesis analyses the relationships between 4 constructs: psychosocial risk at work, stress, optimism and well-being, and relationships with demographic and professional characteristics in a sample of law enforcement staff. It also analyses how independent variables – psychosocial risk factors at work, stress, and optimism – predict well-being. Such a study covering all four variables and examining them in a sample of law enforcement staff has not yet been conducted in Lithuania. Objective: to examine the correlations of psychosocial risk factors, stress and optimism with the well-being of law enforcement personnel. Participants: 128 law enforcement personnel were interviewed - 79 police officers (61,72 %), 7 prison officers (5,47 %) and 42 probation officers (32,81 %). Demographic data showed that 39 males (30,47 %) and 89 females (69,53 %) participated in the study.
