ASSESSING THE CURRENT STATUS OF PUBLIC-SCHOOL TEACHERS’ FINANCIAL WELL-BEING: BASIS FOR AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Michael Espesor

Abstract


This study aimed to assess the status of the financial well-being of the public-school teachers in Tambler District and was designed to develop a proposed intervention program to address concerns on the financial well-being of the teachers. This study employed a cross-sectional survey which involved 186 teacher-respondents from five schools. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from the sample which contained the demographic and financial profile, and a descriptive survey using a five-point Likert scale. The study revealed that the financial well-being of the teacher-respondents was somewhat good as they were confronted with financial constraints that alleviated their financial security and stability. Further, an intervention program in terms of improving the financial well-being of the teachers was developed in the study.
