Abstract
This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between work-life fulfillment and the quality of educational practices among public secondary school teachers in Mati Central District, Division of Davao Oriental. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, involving 174 public secondary school teachers as respondents. Data were gathered using standardized questionnaires and analyzed through mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The results indicated that teachers exhibited high levels of work-life fulfillment, specifically in the domains of work prowess, work-life balance, reward and recognition, and healthy lifestyle. Similarly, a strong presence was observed in the quality of educational practices, particularly in effectiveness, self-regulation, active methodologies, and care on activities. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between work-life fulfillment and the quality of educational practices. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis showed that the domains of work-life fulfillment significantly influenced the domains of educational practice. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school administrators implement targeted programs that promote work-life balance, recognize teacher achievements, and encourage healthy lifestyles to enhance educational quality further and improve student learning outcomes.
