ABSTRACT

This descriptive-correlational research aimed to determine

the challenges in job performance, professional development, and

workplace integration among police officers in Ajuy, Iloilo. A

structured questionnaire was used to gather data from randomly

selected respondents. The statistical tools employed included

mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation

Coefficient with the significance level set at 0.05. Findings

revealed that police officers face significant challenges in job

performance, particularly in task-related issues, workload

management, and work efficiency, with younger officers (25-26

years old) reporting the highest levels of difficulty. In terms

of professional development, career growth planning, training

accessibility, and career advancement support were identified as

key challenges, especially among younger officers (21-25 years

old). Regarding workplace integration, team cohesion, leadership

support, and work environment were perceived as major concerns,

with older officers (36-45 years old) rating these challenges

higher than their younger counterparts.

Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between

sex and job performance, professional development, or workplace

integration. Similarly, age did not significantly influence these

factors, suggesting that institutional policies and work

environment may play a more substantial role. These findings

highlight the need for targeted training programs, mentorship

initiatives, and policy improvements to support police officers

in overcoming workplace challenges and enhancing their overall

performance and well-being.

Keywords: Job performance, professional development, workplace


integration, career growth, training accessibility, team
cohesion, leadership support, institutional policies, mentorship,
policy improvements
