ABSTRACT
The ‘new normal’ made many employees transitioned from traditional working onsite to virtual work settings or work from home arrangement. More jobs were available at all times and places due to technological advancement. More employees had to juggle work and family obligations all at the same time. This interaction created a blurred boundary between work and life and even more challenging for the employees to separate their work life to their personal commitments and family obligations. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of work-life balance and performance of employees in the Pag-IBIG Fund Calamba Hub. The research design used in this study was the descriptive correlational, which involved gathering primary information about the present condition. The total population was 112 respondents with a sample size of 84 respondents which were the agency-hired employees of the Pag-IBIG Fund Calamba Hub. Furthermore, the result of the study shown that the work-life balance of employees in the Pag-IBIG Fund Calamba Hub was more vital than ever to further enhance the performance of its employees. As such, the pursuit of work-life balance was a never-ending effort for both management of the Pag-IBIG Fund Calamba Hub and its employees.
There was a significant relationship between the level of work-life balance and performance of the employees in the Pag-IBIG Fund Calamba Hub. An action plan was therefore recommended as an additional means of improving work-life balance and enhancing performance through the collaborative efforts of employees, DBPSC, and Pag-IBIG Fund management, among others.
