Апстракт

The study was conducted to determine the mediating effect of job commitment in the relationship between spirituality and self-concept among police officers in Region XI, which is an explanatory sequential approach. Questionnaires were administered to the 400 respondents, all PNP personnel in the six (6) cities and 43 Municipalities of Region XI. Data gathered was statistically treated utilizing various statistical tools, such as Mean, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Multiple Regressions, and Medgraph using the Sobel z-test. The result of the study manifested the following: Spirituality was rated high level; job commitment was rated high level; self-concept was rated high level; positive correlation existed between spirituality and job commitment, job commitment and self-concept, and spirituality and self-concept; the 95 percent confidence interval conclusively revealed that significant mediation had occurred. Qualitative data showed various reasons that support the overall quantitative result. Thus, it can be concluded that the mediating effect of job commitment was significant on the relationship between spirituality and self-concept among police officers in Region XI.
