LEADERSHIP STYLES AND WORK CLIMATE OF POLICE STATIONS IN DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES

Jenny Malnegro-Payo, William Agutaya Revisa

Abstract


This paper explored the relationship between the level of leadership styles and the work climate of police stations, particularly in Davao City. It further tried to find out whether or not police supervisors’ leadership styles influence the work climate of police stations. The study made use of the descriptive-correlation method utilizing the adapted survey questionnaire to gather the needed information. Respondents were chosen based on their ranks; so, only 317 non-commissioned police officers in the different police stations in Davao City were chosen. Statistical tools used were mean, Pearson’s r, and regression analysis. The findings of this study revealed that police subordinates have a high level of leadership styles and work climate in police stations. Moreover, the study revealed a direct relationship between leadership styles and the work climate of police stations as far as Davao City police officers were concerned. The researcher concludes, therefore, that combined factors of leadership styles significantly influence the work climate of police stations. Among the four indicators of leadership styles, transformational leadership styles appeared as the domain that best predicted the work climate of police stations.
