ABSTRACT: This study examines the influence of employee involvement in the selection methods on the performance of the Tanzania Police Force (TPF) at the Tanzania Police School, employing a Convergent Parallel Design. This design typically involved both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, allowing researchers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon under investigation. A stratified random sample of 168 employees at the Tanzania Police School in Moshi participated in the study. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews with top-level and department heads, while quantitative data were collected using structured questioning and analyzed with descriptive statistics SPSS. Thematic analysis was employed for qualitative data analysis. Ethical considerations were strictly adhered to, ensuring confidentiality and privacy. The findings highlight varying opinions among respondents, emphasizing the complexity of directly linking methods to performance outcomes. However, employee involvement is identified as crucial for effective selection methods, along with recognizing and leveraging employee expertise. Training employees in selection methods and fostering communication are also deemed essential. Additionally, emphasizing employee contributions and prioritizing the selection of qualified candidates are recommended to enhance organizational performance. These recommendations align with Human Capital Theory and Contingency Theory, suggesting that well-structured, adaptable selection methods with comprehensive employee participation can lead to a more competent and effective workforce.
