Abstract

In this world, balance is an essential requirement to have an enjoyable, successful and stress-free life. Work-life and personal life are interconnected and interdependent. Spending more time in office, dealing with students and the pressures of job can affect the personal life, sometimes making it impossible to even complete the household chores. The study aimed to explore the work-life balance of teachers in the college and university Institutions in Santiago City. A descriptive research design was used. For data collection purposes, a survey questionnaire was utilized for two hundred forty-three (243) faculty and SPSS statistical software for the data analysis. It reveals majority of the respondents were aged 23-38 years old, female. Most of them were employed in a College Institution and 27.6% of the respondents were working for about more than three years. The research result confirmed that the WLB dimensions, average mean score is fair and discovered significant differences in WPLE with regard to age and school attended. . An importance on awareness of the work-life imbalance needs to be one of the institutional priorities in order to determine the direct and indirect repercussions. All educational institutions should be reminded that bad things that happen to the faculty will negatively affect students teaching-learning experiences and create an unfavourable learning environment.
