Research method
The method used in the study is descriptive correlational using survey checklist
in order to know the effect of salary increase in the performance of subordinate police
more qualities are being determined (Waters, 2010). The research will also be a

by Angeles City Police Office, as seen in the data, there are 236 subordinate police
Sampling Scheme
There are two basic type of sampling: non probability sampling and probability
In this study the researchers will use the probability sampling which assures that
all elements in the population are given equal chances of being selected as a sample.
The sampling method that will be used in the study is cluster sampling which is
choosing the respondent that are necessary in the study. Cluster sampling done by
cluster.
The researchers used the Raosoft formula to get the desired sample size of the
Raosoft’s Formula
In terms of the numbers you selected above, the sample size and margin of error
E are given by
X = Z(c/100)2r(100-r)
N = N x/((N-1)E2 + x)
E = Sqrt[(N - n)x/n(N-1)]
Where N is the population size, r is the fraction of responses that you are
interested in, and Z (c/100) is the critical value for the confidence level c.

Research Instrument
To obtain the data needed in order to answer the problems in the study, a questionnaire
checklist will be utilized. The following steps will be used in the structure and validation
of the questionnaire:
1. Content Validation
the essence, the topics, and the areas the test is designed to measure.
2. Face Validation
The test were ocularly inspected and later judged to whether they measure what
3. Pilot testing
A dry run was made to test a sample that is comparable to target the population.
This is also made to determine the average time in finishing the questionnaire and
relevant problems related to the questionnaire are also discovered. The purpose of this
4. Administration of Questionnaires
After careful and systematic evaluation of the questionnaires, they were printed
At least three Experts will examine the questionnaire plus the adviser and the
researcher. The data gathering tool shall be prepared in assistance of the thesis adviser
A content validity will be use in the research study. Validity entails examining
each item the content of an instrument to judge whether each element measures the
concept in question. It is also judgmental and usually non empirical in nature (Calmorin,
2010, David 2007). The instrument validity will establish after its presentation to the
panel of examiners. They commented on the validity of the questions and whether such
adopt the same questionnaire. To ensure validity, expert on the field were invited to
The reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire were establishing the
Cronbach Alpha
It is a measure of reliability and internal consistency of a set of scale or test
Thus, Cronbach’s alpha is a way of measuring the strength of the consistency (Goforth,
2015).
The researchers will go to 6 Police station in Angeles city. Each station has the
floating of questionnaires to the potential respondent the researcher start to analyze and
treating the duly accomplished questionnaire from problem one. The data were
subsequently interpreted statistically using descriptive statistics, again with the aid of
SPSS. Frequency of the respondents’ answer in every item will be tally and tabulate.
The over-all responses of the respondents in the questionnaire were then subsequently
