Technological Advancement, Competition, and Work-life Balance of Freelance Workers in the Philippines

Abstract In a period characterized by the prevalent impact of technology, this study investigates the complex relationship between technological advancements, competition, and work-life balance among Filipino freelance workers. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study analyzes data collected from a sample of 68 freelancers in the Philippines. The findings reveal a “very high” technological advancement (mean = 3.65), competition (mean = 3.53), and work-life balance (mean = 3.58) among the respondents, as measured by a 4-point scale. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrates significant positive relationships between technological advancement and competition (r = 0.796, p < 0.01), technological advancement and work-life balance (r = .718, p < .01), and competition and work-life balance (r = 0.781, p < 0.01). Furthermore, multiple regression analysis identifies “adoption of new tools and technologies” (β = 0.480, p < 0.01) and “efficiency in managing work-related tasks” (β = 0.315, p < 0.05) as significant predictors of work-life balance. The results suggest that while Filipino freelancers exhibit a strong capacity and adaptation to leverage technological advancements, their intense competitive pressures significantly shape their work-life balance. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on these dynamics within the specific context of the Philippines. The study also highlights the need for policy support to foster a sustainable freelance ecosystem in the Philippines, emphasizing the role of government intervention in this regard.
