Abstract: This study was conducted to find out the factors of work-life balance among secondary school educators in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, after the mode of online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The three identified factors that shall influence their work-life balance were job satisfaction, job demands, and job stress. To achieve this objective, 184 teachers from a total of 261 teachers in the five secondary schools were conveniently sampled using Google Forms. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software. The result found that only job stress significantly and negatively affected the work-life balance of those secondary school educators. Due to online learning, teachers have to adopt and adapt to the new teaching platform, which requires them to be more advanced and alert to curb all the current issues that come across. Reducing teachers’ stress in the face of such work pressures is an appropriate solution for addressing these problems. Therefore, those concerned must play a vital role to ensure that the work-life balance of teachers is secured and well-prepared to face any new upcoming challenges. Thus, the study is significant in providing evidence for developing policies to restore work-life balance for secondary school teachers. This will not only give balance but will also create happy personnel who will contribute more to the organisation.
