Abstract

This study focused on the internal, external, and technical factors that affected the accounting staff of DepEd Pangasinan II's work-from-home arrangement to further understand the difficulties they faced. To ascertain whether there is a significant association between the accounting personnel profiles and the degree of difficulties encountered in the Work-from-Home Arrangement, the descriptive-correlational research approach was used. The researcher used a closed-form questionnaire to collect information from the forty (40) accounting staff members of the Pangasinan II Schools Division Office using a Four-Point Likert's Scale as a model. Overall, the findings showed that working from home presented only mild difficulties for the respondents. Under the internal, external, and technical aspects, the same findings were made. Thus, this paper proposes examining some of the current practices and internal policies controlling the work-from-home arrangement, implementing enhanced workload management with suitable performance monitoring, and promoting employees' welfare through adequate support systems to solve these difficulties. It is also advised to investigate the advantages and opportunities of using this form of work arrangement in order to further develop this study.
