Work-Life Balance in the Organizational Culture of Educational Personnel in an Educational Service Area Office

Abstract

          This research aims to 1) study the level of work-life balance among educational personnel in an Educational Service Area Office 2) examine the organizational culture within the institution 3) analyze the relationship between work-life balance and organizational culture among educational personnel. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey research methodology. The sample consisted of 385 educational personnel selected through simple random sampling. Statistical analysis methods include percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

          The results indicate that the overall level of work-life balance among educational personnel is high, with social aspects ranking the highest, followed by work-related and economic factors, while personal life balance ranks the lowest. Regarding organizational culture, personnel exhibit strong adherence to organizational values, with the highest levels observed in their sense of belonging, followed by integrity, diversity, and altruism, the latter being the lowest. Additionally, a moderately positive correlation (p < 0.01) was found between work-life balance and organizational culture. Among the organizational culture components, the sense of belonging and altruism were the most strongly correlated with work-life balance.

          These findings suggest that maintaining a healthy work-life balance significantly impacts the ability of personnel to function effectively within an organizational culture. Institutions should foster an environment that allows personnel to manage their time efficiently while enhancing their sense of belonging and organizational engagement. This approach could mitigate work-related stress and improve long-term productivity.
