The study aimed to investigate various aspects of leadership behaviour and its impact on work commitment among police officers at IPD Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. This study applies quantitative research methods using descriptive analysis, correlation, and regression. The objective of the study is to investigate the: (i) leadership behaviour; (ii) level of work commitment; (iii) relationship between leadership behaviour and work commitment; and (iv) level of strength of leadership behaviour and anticipated work commitment among police officers at IPD Sentul. The respondents of this study were 145 police officers in IPD Sentul. A set of questionnaires was distributed, consisting of leadership behaviour (LB) and work commitment (WC). Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 software. The analysis found that for 'supportive leadership', the highest mean value in terms of leadership behaviour (Mean:33.8, SD:5.34), and the lowest mean value is ‘achievement leadership' (Mean:12.5, SD:1.97). The level of work commitment by police officers at IPD Sentul recorded the highest mean value in terms of ‘affective commitment’ (Mean:32.7, SD:6.01). The Pearson correlation coefficient (r-value) was.665 and the p-value < 0.01, and this showed a high correlation and strong relationship between leadership behaviour and work commitment. In summary, the overall model supports the existence of a significant relationship between leadership behaviour and work commitments (H₁). However, only ‘support-orientated' leadership behaviour (H₃) shows a significant positive relationship, while direction-orientated, participatory-orientated, and achievement-orientated leadership behaviours (H₂, H₄ and H₅) do not demonstrate significant relationships with work commitments based on the provided analysis. Based on the findings of this study, some implications and recommendations for future studies have been discussed.

A career as a police officer is a noble one, but it can also be a high-pressure job, with demanding tasks in terms of mental, physical and personal safety. Emotional intelligence plays an important role in completing tasks with dedication and a good attitude. This study aims to understand the emotional intelligence among police officers at IPD Sabak Bernam. By involving 70 police officers, this study uses the Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EQ) and the Career Commitment Inventory. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 software. This study examines five main aspects of emotional intelligence which include the identification of one's own emotions, management of emotions, motivation of negative emotions, identification of other people's emotions, and relationship management. The results of the study show that participants express a different understanding in each aspect of emotional intelligence, with the statement "Emotions are something that makes my life meaningful" getting the highest score in self-identification of emotions (4.86 with a standard deviation of .669). However, there are variations that were significant in the way participants understood and valued their own emotions, showing a diversity of perspectives on the role of emotions in personal life. This study is consistent with Goleman's theory of emotional intelligence (1995) which emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, emotional control, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The results of this study support the diversity of levels of emotional intelligence among police officers, highlighting the complexity of emotional intelligence and its multifaceted nature. This study provides a meaningful picture of the emotional intelligence of police officers at IPD Sabak Bernam. Implications of this study include appropriate emotional intelligence training and development programs for police officers. Further research could explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance, stress, and overall well-being among police workers, as well as the impact of cultural and work environment factors on emotional intelligence in the police force.
