Abstract


The purpose of this study was to examine the influential behaviors levels toward the polices’ performance in Southern Border Province. The study was undertaken in fifty-one police stations, the subjects consist of four hundred and eight policemen. Data was collected by questionnaires. This research has 5 variables; job performance, organizational justice, public service motivation, work engagement, and transformational leadership, and the reliability was between .65 and .96. The results revealed that public service motivation and work engagement at the behavioral individual level have direct effect on the polices’ performance (x = 0.67 and 0.29, respectively), and transformational leadership at the behavioral group level has indirect effect on the performance of the police through public service motivation (x= 0.48) at significance level .01. Particularly, public service motivation was apparently shown as the most influential factor.
