The article addresses the problem of how emotional burnout affects the family well-being of law enforcement officers under conditions of expanding off-duty digital engagement. It is emphasized that constant digital availability and the blurring of boundaries between professional and personal domains lead to insufficient psychological recovery and increase the risk of emotional exhaustion. The aim of the study was to identify the relationships between indicators of emotional and professional burnout and various dimensions of family well-being in married couples employed in the law enforcement sphere.

The research methods included psychological diagnostic tools (V.V. Boyko; C. Maslach & S. Jackson; A.N. Volkova; Yu.E. Alyoshina, L.Ya. Gozman & E.M. Dubovskaya, etc.) and statistical data processing using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The empirical sample consisted of 52 married couples (N = 104 individuals).

The results revealed pronounced negative correlations between emotional burnout and indicators of family well-being, particularly in the emotional, household, and intimate domains (ρ ranging from −0.704 to −0.988, p < 0.01). The identified associations are interpreted through the concept of digital engagement outside working hours, which hinders psychological detachment from work and contributes to the transfer of professional strain into the family system.

The key conclusions indicate that emotional burnout among law enforcement officers exerts a multidimensional destructive influence on the quality of family relationships, while off-duty digital engagement serves as a significant factor amplifying this dynamic. The findings highlight the need for targeted burnout prevention programs and regulations governing digital communications within law enforcement agencies.
