Alternative Work Arrangements: Its Relationship to Work Values and Its Work- Life Balance

This study aimed to explore the impact of work values and work-life balance on the alternative work arrangements of teachers. Utilizing a quantitative design with a correlational approach, the research involved 346 public elementary school teachers. The study employed mean, Pearson’s r, and regression analysis to analyze the data. Adapted survey questionnaires were used to measure work values, work-life balance, and alternative work arrangements. The findings indicated that the levels of work values, work-life balance, and alternative work arrangements were all rated as “strongly agree.” There was no significant relationship between work values and alternative work arrangements. However, a significant relationship was found between work-life balance and alternative work arrangements. Regression analysis further revealed that work-life balance had the most substantial influence on alternative work arrangements, as indicated by its highest beta coefficient. The study suggests that understanding the interplay between work values, work-life balance, and alternative work arrangements can benefit both employers and employees by fostering a more efficient working environment.
