Abstract

Work-life balance is essential for every employee’s success and productivity. Thus, identifying the practices in the institution and current scenario can fill the gaps that instructors experiencing in the work-life. The study used a quantitative research design employing a descriptive survey that systematically describes a situation, problem, phenomenon, service, or program. The study was participated by 147 faculty members. Random sampling was used to choose the respondents. Based on the results of the research, both male and female faculty members at LSPU need to take care of their time and relationships with work-life balance factors in order to maintain wellness, emotional connections with family and friends, and spiritual growth while carrying out their roles as instructors, researchers, and extension specialists. Anxiety and fatigue brought on by their work-related exhaustion that they overlook the maintenance of their spiritual lives (such as praying, reflecting, and meditating). Therefore, to keep faculty members from becoming stressed out or overburdened with their everyday responsibilities, institutions need to support individuals in finding a balance between their personal and professional lives. However, work-life balance can be managed with the assistance and support of their organization and/or faculty. It is suggested that administrators continue promoting self-care practices to support physical health by addressing emotional well-being, giving the opportunity for resources related to mental health, such as workshops on stress management or counseling, and organizing networking opportunities, team-building exercises, and support systems to cultivate positive relationships between faculty and staff.
