Work Attitude Of Tri-Bureau Officers In Relation To Their Self-Concept And Sexual Orientation: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method Study

The main goal of this study is to establish which model best predicts work attitude among tri-bureau officers in relation to self-concept and sexual orientation in Region XI. This research followed the explanatory, sequential mixed methods approach wherein the researcher conducted the study in two phases: quantitative research followed by a qualitative data collection and analysis. The statistical techniques applied in collecting data were Mean, Pearson r and Regression. The researcher adapted standardized questionnaires to measure the self-concept, sexual orientation and work attitude. Three hundred and forty (340) tri-bureau officers were surveyed in the study. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with ten (10) participants, along with the seven (7) focus group discussion to determine the participant’s experiences on how self-concept and sexual orientation influence work attitude. The study revealed the tri-bureau officers in Region XI have remarkably very high levels of work attitudes, sexual orientation, and self-concept. According to quantitative evidence, these elements have a substantial link, which is corroborated by qualitative findings. The combination of the two data sets demonstrates how important self-concept and sexual orientation are in shaping tri-bureau officers' professional work attitudes.
