SELF-CONCEPT, INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP AND ANGER MANAGEMENT OF CITY TRANSPORT AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OFFICE PERSONNEL IN DAVAO CITY.

Anger is considered to be a negative emotion, it can be turned to a positive one if properly managed, and is universal. Majority of anger-related problems are caused by inappropriate expression of anger, and how critical it is to express the anger properly is still debated. In addition, failure to express anger appropriately depletes the individual’s energy and makes it difficult for the individual to control his behaviors (Baran, 2019). While directly warning the individual for a problem and allowing him to protect himself, anger may, on the other hand, harm the individual and his environment if not controlled. Hence, it has both positive and negative functions (Soyka, 2017)..

Theoretical Framework. Planned Behavior Theory proposed by IcekAjzen , ( 1985) is a productive framework for investigating antecedents of behavior. An individual's desire to perform a given action is a key element in the TPB. The aim is believed to catch the motivational factors that affect actions (Ajzen, 1991). Self-determination theory by Deci and Ryan, ( 1985) defined that people are motivated to grow and change by three innate and universal psychological needs. This theory suggests that people are able to become self-determined when their needs for competence, connection, and autonomy are fulfilled..
