leadership with the touch of commissioned officers’ personal ethics mobilizing the
transformational leadership, wherein personal ethics could play a role for the

METHOD
Presented in this section are the methods that will be used in the study
Research Respondent
The respondents of the study will be the police officers of Davao City Police
considering that leadership will be gauged in the study. Davao City has one of the
lowest crime rates in the world averaging at 0.8 in every 10,000 persons per
month. The Davao City Police Office has consistently been chosen as the Best
Police Office in the entire country. It has been recognized by the Philippine
National Police (PNP) for being an outstanding police unit in the region.
The study will employ a stratified random sampling technique, wherein only
the available and willing police officers of the mentioned police organizations,
especially those who have been assigned to the organization for more than one
year comprise the headquarters, namely Camp Vicente Leonor and the 12 police
precincts located in the strategic areas of Davao City will be taken as respondents
of the study. The researcher will take around 400 Police Officers as respondents
to the study. Stratified random sampling is typically used when trying to evaluate
data from different subgroups or strata. It allows them to quickly obtain a sample

population that best represents the entire population being studied (Qualtrics,
2022).
Instruments
The questionnaire that will be used in this study consists of two variables
adapted from their sources, one for each variable. For the independent variable it
was adapted from Hughes (2014), and the dependent variable from the research
of Jojo (2016). The preliminary draft will be forwarded to the research adviser for
The variables of the study will be rated using 5-level Likert Scaling system

strength and nature of the association between two or more variables it was
applied and dealt with the relationship that correlating variables could vary directly
with one another and vary inversely as one decreases and the other increases as

officers.
Moreover, the study will follow the necessary steps in conducting the study.
The first step after confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire will be
to prepare letters address to the City Director of DCPO noted by the Dean of
