(2) determine the dominant personality trait of the police officers. (3) determine the level of job satisfaction of the respondents.

(7) determine the significant relationship between the dominant personality trait and work performance of the respondents. (8) determine the significant relationship between the job satisfaction and work performance of the respondents.

Descriptive- correlational was used in the study. It was conducted and administered among 114 male and 11 female police officers in District II, Cavite namely: Carmona, Dasmarinas, General Trias, GMA, Trece Martirez City and Tanza. Frequency count, mean, standard deviation, percentage, Slovin, Chi-square test and Spearman ranked
were used as statistical treatment in the study.

The International Personality Pool Item by Dr. John A. Johnson and Job Satisfaction Test by Fedegarao as used by Bulugagao, 2007 were used as the instrument to find out the dominant personality trait and job satisfaction level of the police officers. Work performance, however, the Individual Performance Evaluation Rating was given by the certain stations.

The study was conducted in District II, Cavite from November 2008- January 2009. The study revealed that dominant personality trait which is extraversion has nothing to do with the job satisfaction and work performance of police officers. Job satisfaction however, has a significant relationship with the work performance of the police officers.

Police officers are encouraged to continue their studies in order to be promoted to a higher rank, since the majority of them were Police Officer 1. National Police Commission is recommended to provide specific programs to develop and uplift the personality of the existing police officers. There should also have an upgrading of salary and fringe benefits so that police officers can be motivated to improve their satisfaction and performance on their job.

Continuous and proper training on ethics and integrity standards should be always given emphasised for all policemen especially those who are handling higher rank position.
