Perception on the influence of work-life balance on well-being and teaching performance of higher education institution Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Mathematics (STEAM) teachers in Region IV-A CALABARZON (CAVITE, LAGUNA, BATANGAS, RIZAL AND QUEZON) was explored in this descriptive research. Work-life benefits available in educational institutions include equal access to promotion, training and sickness leaves. Using weighted mean and frequency, teacher-respondents confirmed that their personal life is sometimes affected by work. Qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews identified the perceived impact of work-life balance to the well-being and teaching performance of STEAM teachers which included effects on physical health, job and family satisfaction, psychological well-being, emotional state and relationship with students when teaching, time-management, and burnout tendencies. Results of this study may assist educational institutions to develop, review, and provide written policies on work-life balance of teachers as well as non-teaching personnel.
