Abstract

The study investigated the influence of workplace spirituality on the work values of police personnel in Davao City. It used both descriptive and inferential statistics to answer the problems. The mean and standard deviations identified the respondents’ workplace spirituality and work values. Pearson r determined the significance of the relationship between the variables, while the regression analysis determined the importance of the influence of workplace spirituality on work values. 258 police personnel from different police precincts selected through stratified random sampling responded to the survey. Results showed high levels of workplace spirituality and work values among PNP personnel. Also, the correlation coefficient suggested a weak, positive, but significant relationship between workplace spirituality and work values. Likewise, the regression coefficient revealed a considerable influence of workplace spirituality on work values. The results have implications for the policies and practice of policing. For example, motivating police personnel in exercising workplace spirituality and work values may eliminate deviant behaviors resulting in better performance of duties. Furthermore, the results have substantial implications for the chaplaincy and moral recovery programs of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
