INTRODUCTION

“Whatever is happening in the country, whatever challenges we are facing, education must continue,
education cannot wait, our learners cannot wait, we continue with the process so we can give hope and
continuity, and contribute to the normalization of activities of our country.” - Education Secretary Leonor
Magtolis Briones (October 2020)

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conventional face-to-face learning engagement of teachers and
students has been suspended. The national government, particularly the Department of Education
(DepEd), implemented a distance learning approach as an urgent response to ensure continuity of
education. The Philippines is in the process of adapting to the new normal form of education at present
through continuous innovations and active involvement and participation of educators.

Home working opens up a new range of possibilities for the way businesses can work and structure
themselves. With the outbreak of the Corona virus (covid-19) Home working has given some school
owners the flexibility they need to continue their business operations while prioritizing staff and the
learner’s health and well-being as part of their public health responsibility.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, working from home was on the increase as many employers identified
the benefits that it can bring to their business , The key purpose of this research is to identify the benefits
and challenges of working from home arrangement of elementary teachers in selected areas of Imus,
Cavite.

Objectives of the Study

Generally, the study is conducted to determine the benefits and challenges of working from home

arrangement of teachers in selected areas of Imus , Cavite.

Specifically, the study aims to: 

1. To determine the demographic profile of working from home arrangement of teachers in


selected area in Imus, Cavite.

2. To identify the benefits of working at home arrangement of teachers in selected area of Imus,
Cavite.

3. To learn and understand the challenges of working from home arrangement of teachers in
selected areas of Imus, Cavite.

4. To investigate school realizations and analyzes from employees working from home

Literature

Our research contributes to a broad agenda in economics trying to understand determinants of


individual productivity. A significant amount of work has focused on incentive pay (e.g., Lazear,
2000;

Hamilton et al., 2003; Shearer, 2004; Babcock et al., 2015; Friebel et al., 2017; Aakvik et al.,
2017;

Dohmen and Falk, 2011). Some research looks at effects of other human resource practices,
particularly

those aimed at eliciting employee participation in continuous improvement, and on


complementarities

between these policies (Ichniowski et al., 1995; Ichniowski and Shaw, 2003; Bartel et al., 2007).
There

is limited research in other areas, such as ways to engage employees in innovation (Gibbs et al.,
2017).

Some literature studies the effects of supervisors (Lazear et al., 2015) or peers (Bandiera et al.,
2005;

Arcidiacono et al., 2017; Song et al., 2018). Presumably peer effects would be weaker during
WFH as

there is no face-to-face interaction and probably less overall interaction. Supervisor effects might
be

stronger, if managers vary significantly in their ability to lead and coordinate virtual teams.

A growing literature analyzes working from home policies. At the start of the pandemic, a few

papers predicted the likelihood that a job would shift from WFO to WFH, typically using
descriptions

of occupations in classifications such as O*NET (e.g., Dingel and Neiman, 2020; Adams-Prassl
et al.,

2020). The industry and occupations analyzed here are among those predicted most likely to
effectively

switch to WFH.

Several surveys document incidence of WFH, and perceptions of its effects (Bick et al., 2020;

Brynjolfsson et al., 2020; Von Gaudecker et al., 2020; Gottlieb et al., 2021; Hensvik et al., 2020).

Professionals, managers, knowledge workers, those in clerical support or data processing, and
those

with higher education or income make more use of WFH. In the UK Household Longitudinal
Survey,

employees who work from home state that they are about as productive as in the office (Etheridge

et al., 2020). Those who perceive declines also experience lower levels of well-being from WFH.

Bellmann and H¨ubler (2020) find that working remotely has no long-run effect on work-life
balance,
Republic of the Philippines 
CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY 
(CVSU) 
Don Severino de las Alas Campus 
Indang, Cavite 

OFFICE OF THE GRADUATE STUDIES / OPEN LEARNING COLLEGE

and that a switch to WFH increases job satisfaction only temporarily. Barrero et al. (2020)
estimate

that WFH reduced total commuting time among US workers by more than 60 million hours per
work

day at the height of the pandemic, and that about 35% of this time saved was reallocated to work.

We do not find that commute time predicts increases in WFH work hours.

Barrero et al. (2021) provide evidence from waves of a large panel of US employees working
from

home. Respondents report benefits from lower commute time, more flexible work hours, and
increased

productivity. Employers have made investments in technology, revised practices, and moved up
the

learning curve with respect to WFH. They suggest that use of WFH will remain four times more

prevalent than before the pandemic.

DeFilippis et al. (2020) use communication and email meta-data. Their estimate that WFH

employees work 0.8 more hours per day is between estimates from our two time measures. They
also

find that employees attend more meetings, with more attendees. Teevan et al. (2020) present
similar

evidence for Microsoft employees. Kwan (2021) analyzes reading of Internet content by
employees in

a very large sample of firms in ten countries. He uses IP addresses to identify when employees
WFH,

and creates proxies for employee interactions and need for coordination. These proxies are
negatively

associated with a shift to WFH.

Survey data on productivity might be biased if employees enjoy WFH and hope to retain the
practice, conflate output with productivity, or refer to individual performance without full
consideration

of collaboration with others. Only a few papers have studied WFH using employee data. Bloom
et al.

(2015) analyzed call-center employees at a Chinese firm. Output rose for those assigned to WFH,

partly because they worked more hours, and partly because productivity increased. Employee
satisfaction increased, and attrition declined. Emanuel and Harrington (2021) studied call-center
workers

at a large US company, including those who abruptly moved to WFH in response to Covid-19.
Productivity rose in the switch to remote work. However, average productivity was lower for
remote

workers than office workers. They conclude that remote work has an adverse selection effect, and

more productive workers prefer to be at the office.

WFH may be relatively effective for call-center workers, who work independently and follow
scripts.

K¨unn et al. (2020) analyze an occupation with extremely high cognitive demands but no
collaboration:

professional chess players. They had lower quality performance when playing online during
Covid-19,

compared to in-person tournaments. Of course, the highly unusual occupation makes it difficult
to

generalize from their findings.

A policy that goes beyond WFH is Working from Anywhere [WFA], in which an employee is

allowed to choose where they live and work. This might provide additional benefits in quality of

life, managing a dual-career couple, or real estate prices. Choudhury et al. (2019) study a natural

experiment in which examiners at the US Patent and Trademark Office were allowed to work
from

anywhere. Productivity rose by 4.4%, with no decline in the quality of work. However, they note
that

these jobs do not require significant collaboration and coordination.

None of these studies were able to analyze potential mechanisms underlying differences in
productivity between WFH and WFO. This study is, to our knowledge, the first that is able to
provide

The respondents of the study were composed of 50 Working from Home Arrangement

among Elementary Private School Teachers in Selected Private School in Imus, Cavite. The

researcher used a survey questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument in identifying and

collecting the data of the participants. Data on demographic profile, benefits, challenges and

arrangement were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools such as frequency counts,

percentage, mean and ranges.

Findings revealed that most of the Working from Home Arrangement among

Elementary Private School Teachers in Selected Private School in Imus, Cavite was female,

26-30 years of age, teaching in Grade 6, and from La Trinidad Academy. Majority of the

participants are working 5 hours a day, comfortable on working from home, and saves more

money from a work from home arrangement. Almost all of them suffer from a dilemma of

preparing learning materials and checking the outputs of their students. Participants

perceived the academic challenges to be experienced as “sometimes”. All of the participants

are utilizing Zoom and PowerPoint presentation as their mutual means for teaching.
