Organizational Climate and Work Life Balance of Public-School Heads of the Province of Marinduque: Basis for Well Being Program for Public Education Leaders

In recent years, organizational climate and work-life balance have been the subject of studies investigating their relationship and how they impact the workers and the organizations. Several researchers have cited that organization climate as perceived by employees, including norms, values and processes that direct the workers on how they do their jobs and make them adapt to their work environment. On the other hand, the meaning of work-life balance has evolved over the years and now includes work and non-work aspects of a worker’s life including leisure and socialization. In education, the school leaders, specifically the school heads, have gargantuan responsibilities in running and managing schools. They are prone to stress, burnout, fatigue and other mental health issues. Their degree of work-life balance may be affected or related to how they perform their duties as directed by the climate of the educational organization. This study aims to investigate the organizational climate as perceived by the school heads of Marinduque province.
