Educational Resource Management as Predictor to Quality of Work-Life

Abstract

This study assessed the factors of educational resource management that relate to the quality of work-life among public elementary school teachers. Descriptive-correlational research design was employed to gather data among 534 teaching personnel from 26 public elementary schools in Candelaria District during the academic year 2021-2022. The primary instrument of the study was a researcher-made survey questionnaire distributed using Google forms. The study revealed that physical resources in different schools is managed while time, financial, human, information and communication technology and community resources is well-managed. Moreover, the community and physical/material resources are factors that significantly relate to the respondents’ quality of work-life in terms of job satisfaction, workplace stress, financial reimbursement, working condition, work-life balance, and safety and health based on the regression of variables. However, there is no significant difference in the perceptions of two groups of respondents to educational resource management and level of their quality of work-life. School leaders may prioritize the management of community and physical resources since these are the two factors that can be linked to personnel’s quality of work-life. This is important for all organizational inputs because it leads employee’s satisfaction and influences organizational effectiveness.
