Specifically, it recognized the interrelationship among the exogenous variables such as work environment, organizational social capital, social support and the endogenous variable well-being of PNP personnel in Davao Region. Structural Equation Modeling and quantitative research design were employed in this study. The data were gathered from 440 PNP active personnel in Davao Region. There were four adapted questionnaires used in the gathering of data. Findings revealed that the level of work environment and organizational social capital, and well-being are very high while social support is high. Anent to this, the three exogenous variables have a strong relationship to well-being and these greatly influence well-being of PNP personnel. Apparently, the best fit model is model number five on the organizational social capital in which cognitive and structural dimension are the best drivers towards well-being grounded on resilience, flourishing, depression anxiety and stress and job resource.

The severity of trauma, human misery, death exposures, violence and harsh social realities makes the policemen’s job a psychologically high risk occupation. This challenge rests on the premise that this is a threat to physical well-being that make police, work stressful (Adbollahi,2016). Recent studies revealed associations between police well-being, such as daily stress factor of work insomnia, suicide, and obesity, which leads policemen to suffer compared with the general population (Shani, Bamberger & Bacharach, 2015). The study on well-being is significant because this would help boost morale of the PNP personnel and at the same time help in decreasing dishonest activities. Well-being can be regarded as happiness so happy employees produce healthy employees, healthy employees miss less time, and happy employees stay longer (De Jesus, 2017). Anent to this, commitment on well-being results to high productivity and positively work engagement (Aldana, 2018). Indeed, work environment has to do with well-being, as seen when the employees’ wellbeing is taken care of, companies and other workplaces improve their chances of booming and it boils down to personnel development, individual productivity and the success of organization (Litchfield, Cooper, Hancock & Watt, 2016). While, organizational social capital as mentioned by (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 2013) have a positive impact on the well-being of employees, and plays a crucial role which leads to building of rapport/relationship towards the PNP personnel and community trust. However, (Johnston, 2015), recognized social support as being beneficial to well-being. These are family, friends, intimate partners and colleagues who have been studied as potential sources of social support. Supportive communication within a social support network will highly improve moral well-being of the PNP personnel (Salovey, Brackett, & Rivers, 2011). Moreover, in the local setting, there is no tangible structure equation model for well-being to respond for the personnel development.
