أثر الوعي الموقفي على اتخاذ القرارات لدى ضباط الشرطة في اليمن

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of situational awareness among police officers in the Republic of Yemen and examine its impact on improving the quality of security decisions in complex environments, with particular attention to the individual and institutional factors influencing it.
The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, and the data were collected via a questionnaire administered to a sample of 123 police officers serving in various security units across the Republic of Yemen. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software.
The findings indicate that the overall level of situational awareness among police officers is high, with a mean score of 4.03 and a low standard deviation of 0.470. Statistical analyses confirm a direct impact of situational awareness on the quality of security decisions and highlight the influential role of environmental, professional, and technological factors in either enhancing or weakening this awareness.
The study recommends the development of specialized training programs aimed at improving situational awareness and decision-making skills, expanding field training to address evolving security threats, providing psychological support to strengthen officers’ evaluative abilities in sensitive situations, and enhancing technological infrastructure, particularly in the areas of information systems and data analysis.
