The rapid growth of industrialization and diversification worldwide diverted the trend in the labor market to be shifted towards alternative work arrangements, also known as Non-standard Employment (NSE). In the Philippines, these alternative forms of employment of NSE can be greatly observed. The majority of workers under NSE arrangements fall under fixed-term or contractual employees. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of job satisfaction and work-life balance of the NSE workers of a manpower agency in a highly urbanized city in the Philippines and explore their challenges.  Moreover, it sought to determine the significant relationship between job satisfaction and work-life balance. Using a standardized questionnaire, the data were gathered from a sample of 282 agency workers. The study tested hypotheses using Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis, and Spearman rank. The results showed that workers demonstrate a low level of job satisfaction while there is a moderate level of work-life balance. However, the results indicated there is a significant difference in the level of job satisfaction and level of work-life balance only for the variable sex.  Likewise, findings revealed a significant relationship between job satisfaction and work-life balance. The most challenging for the NSE workers are time management, company policies, dealing with customers, and motivation for the job.  The study concludes that job satisfaction influences the work-life balance of the NSE workers.  The findings of the study provide valuable insight for manpower agencies in the formulation of a human resource program focused on improving employee satisfaction of the job.

With a changing demography and social structure, the work life balance (WLB) is a major concern felt by employees of most organizations. This study has attempted to have relook at the constructs of work-life balance from the perspectives of banking and information technology employees with various household structures. The present study develops a multidimensional work-life balance scale to measure existing levels of work-life balance. The scale considers work-life balance as a multidimensional second order construct comprising workplace inclusion, family support, employee benefit, time management, coworker relationship, and supervisor-subordinate relationship. The study reveals not only indicators of organizational family work culture, but also personal characteristics such as time management and familial support determine work-life balance. However, no significant difference was perceived in the work life balance was found between employees with different family structures and between the two sectors considered under the study. Also, there was no significant difference in perception of work life- balance between knowledge workers from IT and banking sectors.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused a prolonged and intensified telecommuting arrangement that raised a number of unprecedented concerns regarding its implications on employees’ job performance (JP) and work-life balance (WLB). This study primarily aimed at determining the relationship between telecommuting intensity and employees’ JP and WLB. Further, it sought to know if there was a significant difference in employees’ productivity when working at the office and at home. Lastly, it assessed whether previous frameworks on JP and WLB were still valid during the COVID-19 crisis. A total of 396 telecommuting employees from three BPO companies in the Philippines were gathered using stratified random sampling. Pearson correlation, T-test, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were executed for this study. The result of this study provides evidence that intensified telecommuting has a negative relationship with employees’ WLB. It means that longer time spent in telecommuting decreases the work-life balance of employees. On the other hand, telecommuting intensity is not significantly correlated with employees’ JP, supporting the second finding that there is no significant difference in the percentage of work done and the amount of time spent to finish a job at home and at the office. Lastly, CFA generated that the frameworks on JP and WLB were still applicable in the context of COVID-19. This study provides managers with findings to more carefully design telecommuting programmes with emphasis on supporting the factors that contribute to employees’ work-life balance.
