Abstract

The goal of the current study was to examine the influence of individual, group and organizational behaviors on the task of providing security for people’s well-being. In order to assess the above relationships, the study was undertaken at the organizational level in 200 police stations from Provincial Police Regions 1-9 in Thailand. The subjects at the individual level consisted of 200 police supervisors working in police stations responsible for the security of the people; supervisors were used to represent the organization. The results reveal that task performance, transformational leadership and contextual performance have direct significant effects on the task of providing security for the public, respectively. These main effects generally indicate that task performance and transformational leadership are strongly related to the task of providing security for the people. In conclusion, employees’ performance can lead to the achievement of the organization. Moreover, transformational leadership is the key factor in all organizations that motivates the followers to perform to achieve the organizational goal.
