Abstract

Among 100 remote workers in different departments in a company in Pasay City selected in this study, this study examined the relationship between their affective states, work-life balance, and interpersonal support. A descriptive-correlational study approach was used by the researcher.  The Work-Related Quality of Life Scale, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and Interpersonal Support and Evaluation List were the instruments employed. The results indicate that remote workers experience high levels of job and career satisfaction, which indicates their work-life balance. The remaining dimensions of work-life balance, including control at work, working conditions, tension, and general well-being, are balanced. In general, they also have high levels of interpersonal support in their line of work and can experience normal levels of stress and melancholy but with mild anxiety. Additionally, there is a negligible correlation between their work-life balance and interpersonal support, a substantial correlation between their work-life balance and emotional states, and a substantial correlation between their interpersonal support and emotional states. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r) was employed to evaluate the hypothesis by examining the correlation between their affective states, interpersonal support, and work-life balance. It can be concluded that the respondents' current work-from-home arrangement has been advantageous to them, as they have realized that what can be accomplished in a face-to-face setting can be accomplished remotely. Similarly, it is advantageous to their emotional state, interpersonal relationships, and overall health. Additionally, the remote setup offered them emotional support, facilitating positive emotions development. The contentment they felt regarding their jobs and professions was also a result of the flexible schedule that was incorporated into their setup.
