The educational background and work extra hours affect a little on the three dimensions.4.The distinct differences about self--efficacy exists on the different ages, but it does not differ obviously on the police type and police rank, and the educational background and work overtime do not react distinctly with each other.5.There are some significant correlation between each of the three dimensions and the self—efficacy.6.The self—efficacy and work overtime play a significant predictive role on three dimensions.
