Abstract :
This study examined the Quality of Working Life (QWL) and Work Performance of Araling Panlipunan teachers
in public junior high schools in the Division of Davao del Sur for the school year 2024-2025. Using a quantitative-
correlational design, data were collected from 79 teachers through validated survey questionnaires and analyzed using mean,
standard deviation, Pearson r, and multiple regression. Results showed that overall QWL was rated "extensive," with
General Well-Being receiving the lowest score among the seven indicators. Teachers' work performance was rated "very
satisfactory," particularly in Personal Growth and Professional Development. A significant relationship was found between
QWL and work performance. Control at Work and Working Conditions were identified as positive predictors, while General
Well-Being showed a significant negative relationship with performance, suggesting a complex dynamic between well-being
and professional output. The study recommends enhancing teacher autonomy, improving working conditions, and
supporting mental health and work-life balance. Encouraging teacher participation in decision-making processes is also
essential. These measures can contribute to a more supportive and effective teaching environment.
Keywords :

This study examined the Quality of Working Life (QWL) and Work Performance of Araling Panlipunan teachers
in public junior high schools in the Division of Davao del Sur for the school year 2024-2025. Using a quantitative-
correlational design, data were collected from 79 teachers through validated survey questionnaires and analyzed using mean,
standard deviation, Pearson r, and multiple regression. Results showed that overall QWL was rated "extensive," with
General Well-Being receiving the lowest score among the seven indicators. Teachers' work performance was rated "very
satisfactory," particularly in Personal Growth and Professional Development. A significant relationship was found between
QWL and work performance. Control at Work and Working Conditions were identified as positive predictors, while General
Well-Being showed a significant negative relationship with performance, suggesting a complex dynamic between well-being
and professional output. The study recommends enhancing teacher autonomy, improving working conditions, and
supporting mental health and work-life balance. Encouraging teacher participation in decision-making processes is also
essential. These measures can contribute to a more supportive and effective teaching environment.
