Abstract :
This study intended to establish the best-fit structural model of job engagement of police
personnel in Region 11. The exogenous variables are political skills, resilience at work, and public
service motivation, while the endogenous variable is job engagement. Through quota sampling,400
police personnel from Region XI responded to the survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM),
Mean, Pearson r, and Multiple Regression were used to analyze the data. Results showed that besides
respondents' very high political skills, resilience at work, public service motivation, and job
performance, a significant relationship exists among between these variables. The multiple regression
analysis revealed that the influence of political skills, resilience at work, and public service motivation
on job engagement was 67.8%. Only Model 5 met all goodness of fit indices among the five generated
models. Further analysis of the model bared that all indicators of the exogenous variables included at
the beginning of the study are predictors of job performance. These manifest variables for political
skills are networking ability, social astuteness, interpersonal influence, and apparent sincerity. For
resilience at work, the manifest variables include living authentically, finding a calling, maintaining
perspective, managing stress, building social connections, and staying healthy. For public service
motivation, themanifest variables are self-sacrifice, attraction to policymaking, and compassion. On
the other hand, the manifest variables for job engagement are cognitive, emotional, and physical. The
results have implications for policing in the Philippines.
