Abstract:
This qualitative study aims to identify how Capampangan male and female teachers balance their work and life as they remain role models in the elementary teaching profession. Ten public elementary teachers who experienced difficulties in their work-life balance under the Division of Pampanga participated in the face-to-face interview. The data collected were analyzed using Colaizzi's analysis. The findings revealed that both Capampangan male and female key informants are the same in terms of time spent on their work and family responsibilities and they make sure that they balance their work and personal life accordingly. The following are the difficulties of key informants: lack of time for the family, and being consumed by schoolwork. The findings also revealed the strategies used by the key informants which include being optimistic, having faith, practicing time management, and separating their roles as a parent and as a teacher can help to improve the work-life balance of every teacher. The key informants stated the importance of having a healthy work-life balance which can lead to attaining a sense of fulfillment, increasing productivity, and improving management skills. Moreover, the findings of this research can be adapted and used as a basis for future teachers to know and understand how to have a healthy work-life balance in the elementary teaching profession.
