      abstract = {This study examined the influence of self-regulation on job performance among National Police Service (NPS) officers in Kakamega County, Kenya. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, 331 officers were selected through stratified random sampling from a population of 2,400, achieving an 86.7% response rate (n=287). Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS. Findings revealed a weak and statistically non-significant relationship between self-regulation and job performance (F = 1.970, p > 0.05, r = 0.083). Regression analysis indicated that self-regulation alone does not significantly predict job performance. While self-regulation is valuable for emotional management, it does not independently enhance job performance in the complex policing environment. The study recommends integrating comprehensive stress management training and embedding self-regulation components in police training curricula.},
