Abstract
This study determined the correlation between the demographic and socio-cultural profile and the commission of administrative offense of the members of Philippine National Police in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON), Philippines, using the quantitative descriptive research design. The purposive convenient random sampling was utilized in gathering the data from the 238 police personnel who have administrative cases filed before the Regional Internal Affairs Service within Calendar Year 2016 to 2017 and assigned in the Regional Headquarters of CALABARZON Police Provincial Office (PPO). The respondents agreed on some indicators but disagreed on the majority of the indicators on the personal-cultural and organizational-cultural factors affecting the commission of administrative offenses. However, the difference and association between the demographic profile and the administration offense committed shows statistical significance on the educational attainment and monthly income while between socio-cultural profile and administrative offense committed shows statistical significance on religion and housing data. The factors affecting the commission of administrative offenses and the administrative offense committed shows statistical significance on organizational cultural factors. The results of the study have potential implication on the organizational human resource management, legal services provided to the police officers, trainings given by the PNP training division and subjects offered by the colleges and universities.
