THE STUDY ON WORKING CONDITION OF SECURITY GUARDS IN SELECTED PRIVATE AND GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENTS

Security guards play a vital role in ensuring the safety of people, establishments, properties, and other things or assets that have a significant value and, therefore, have to be protected. Considering the difficulties in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, good working conditions would be very helpful to keep them motivated and give their best at work. Therefore, the study's objectives were to identify the working condition of security guards in selected private and government establishments and determine the problems encountered in their working environment. The researchers used simple random sampling techniques to have a fair sample size of 50 respondents. Based on the findings, security guards encounter some problems at work: verbal abuse, theft, discrimination, low salary, benefits, etc. Therefore, the researchers highly recommend that employers make amendments to employee policies and salaries to maintain a positive working environment.
