Structural Equation Model on Subculture Perceptions of Philippine National Police Personnel

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to discover what model most appropriate fits for the perception of the police subculture of police personnel in Zamboanga City Region IX. To find out the singular and combined influence of independent variables on the perception of the police subculture. Employing correlation research design, population and sampling, and structural equation model, data were obtained from 400 police personnel from various municipalities and city Police stations in Zamboanga City. On other hand, the study established that there is an important connection in the police personnel among police stress, multifactor leadership, personality, and police subculture. A conclusive statement has been drawn based on the results of the research; police stress, leadership, personality has an important correlation in police subculture. Further, findings established that police stress, personality, and multifactor leadership is significant predictors of the police subculture. All independent variables are rejected which means that Police stress, multifactor leadership, personality are significant predictors of the police subculture. Furthermore, findings discovered that police stress, multifactor leadership, and personality established the best fit model of the study on police subculture of police personnel.
