Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between leadership competence, knowledge management and resilience in Uganda police force. Specifically, the study investigated; the relationship between leadership competence and women resilience in police force; the
relationship between knowledge management and women resilience in police force; and the combined effect of leadership competence, knowledge management and women resilience in police force. The study adopted a cross sectional study and data was collected using a
questionnaire. Women police officers in Kampala metropolitan area were the unit of inquiry and Uganda police force being the unit of analysis. Questionnaires were received from 273 respondents giving a response rate of 88%. Data analysis was done with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences. With the help of SPSS, Cronbach Alpha was above 0.7 which meant that other studies like correlations and regressions could be carried-out.
The correlation results showed that there is a significant relationship between leadership competence and resilience; there is a significant relationship between knowledge management and resilience. Regression results indicate that both leadership competence and knowledge management predict 31.2% of resilience among women police officers. There are a number of limitations with this study; the study focused on a cross sectional research design, the data
collection instrument was a standard questionnaire which limited the ability to collect respondents’ own views. The study recommends further study to be conducted on a longitudinal research basis so as to study variables for a long period of time.
