Abstract

This study investigates the role of personnel management strategies and welfare policies in enhancing work-life balance (WLB) among teachers. Through a literature review, the research explores key theories such as the Job Demands Resources (JD-R) Model, Boundary Theory, and the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, alongside empirical studies addressing challenges like excessive workloads and blurred work-life boundaries. Findings reveal that effective WLB strategies improve teacher well-being, job satisfaction, and classroom performance while reducing stress and turnover rates. Social and economic benefits, including stronger community relationships and cost savings for institutions, further underscore the importance of WLB. The study concludes that integrating flexible work arrangements, professional development, and mental health support into educational policies is critical for sustainable teacher well-being and organizational success. Future research should examine culturally adaptive strategies and the long term impacts of WLB policies in diverse educational settings. These insights offer actionable guidance for educational leaders and policymakers to create supportive environments that empower teachers and enhance educational quality.
