The study used primary sources of data collection with 485 structured questionnaires were administered to police personnel in five area commands including state headquarters. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique. The study adopted descriptive in the presentation of data collection, and multiple regression techniques were utilised for hypothesis testing. The result revealed that for indirect relationship job uncertainty, social tie and task interdependence have significant and positive relationship with adaptive performance but only decision making autonomy has negative effect on adaptive performance while for indirect relationship support co-worker support cannot moderate the relationship among job uncertainty, social tie and task interdependence and adaptive performance while co-workers support did moderate the relationship between decision making autonomy and adaptive performance. The role of job-related factors in achieving adaptive performance is substantial. Organizations, on the other hand, should provide useful information and guarantee that members receive pertinent information about the organization for which they work. Furthermore, it is suggested that organizations or leaders pay close attention to, and provide enough support and assistance to, their members. The findings provide an important basis for further academic study in the area of job-related factor while the identified practices can serve as guidance for managers and leaders of organisations to carry out job related factors in their organisation to enable them to be effective in their organisation.
