Abstract: Personal life and professional life are two significant grounds that may affect one another. A profession can distract personal life while personal life can hinder professional life. Both conflicts may lead to unfavorable outcomes in personal and professional life. The study focused on the experiences of the faculty from Polytechnic University of the Philippines Bataan Branch during the implementation of an alternative work scheme because of quarantine implementation and a series of lockdowns. Forty-six (46) or 70% faculty members participated in the study regardless of their status. It was conducted during the Academic Year 2020 to 2021, second Semester. The study revealed that time management was found out to have a positive correlation to availability, preparation, and work environment at a low extent but negatively correlated to the family conflict to a moderate extent. On the other hand, time management has a positive correlation to the overall home-related factors to a moderate extent. Instructional materials were found out to have a positive correlation to availability, work environment, internet connection, and overall home-related factors to a moderate extent. Class monitoring was positively correlated to availability, work environment, and to the internet connection to a low extent but negatively correlated to a low extent with family conflict. On the contrary, class monitoring has a positive correlation to a moderate extent to overall home-related factors. Overall work-related factors were found out to be positively correlated to availability, preparation, work environment, internet connection, and overall home-related factors to a moderate extent.
