Work-Life Balance and Job Performance of State Auditors in Southern Luzon, Philippines

Abstract

This study assessed the extent of work-life balance and job performance among state auditors in Southern Luzon using a descriptive, comparative, and correlational research design. While results indicated a great extent of work-life balance and an outstanding level of job performance, no significant relationship was found between the two variables. However, significant differences were observed based on demographics, specifically regarding the audit sector, age, and length of service. These findings suggest that while individual competencies currently drive high performance, government institutions must still implement sustainable interventions—such as mental health support and structured work environments—to further enhance employee well-being. Future research should expand to larger, multi-regional samples and utilize qualitative approaches to provide a deeper understanding of these dynamics within the public sector.
