Workplace Well-being and Job Performance Among the Work-from-Home Faculty of BatStateU

Abstract

The work-from-home scenario is a sudden drift in today's work environment. As the fear of the coronavirus grows, many industries have already pressed for this type of setup, even academic institutions. Merging work and personal life closer together and other challenges in working or teaching from home raise many questions about the faculty's well-being and performance. The main focus of this study was to determine the levels of workplace well-being and job performance in the new normal and to rule out a significant relationship between the two variables among the work-from-home faculty of Batangas State University. This study utilized a quantitative approach and used the descriptive correlational method design. Through stratified random sampling, the study's respondents were 140 WFH faculty. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was applied for the data analyzing method. The findings revealed that positive emotions were significantly related to task performance, contextual performance, and counter-productive work behavior. The engagement had a significant relationship with task performance and counter-productive work behavior but had no significant relationship with contextual performance. Moreover, relationships had a significant relationship with contextual performance and counter-productive work behavior but had no significant relationship with task performance. Meaning had a significant relationship with task performance and counter-productive work behavior but had no significant relationship with contextual performance. Finally, accomplishment had a significant relationship with task performance but had no significant relationship with contextual performance and counter-productive work behavior.
