Abstract
This qualitative, phenomenological study explored the lived experience of fifteen Davao del Sur provincial governments employees who engaged in a work-from-home (WFH) arrangement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using purposive sampling and expert-validated guide questions, researchers gathered personal stories and perspective, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The study’s findings largely indicated positive general ratings for the WFH set up. Employees valued the improved work-life balance, autonomy, and flexibility it provided.
Keywords: Government employees, public administrations
