Addressing the Wellbeing of Administrative Employees in Church Schools in Malta:A Qualitative Study.

Abstract

Studying human resources is a great way to take care and invest in your work organisation, the economy, society, and the wellbeing of the workers. All leaders and managers work hard and try hard to create a working environment and support their employees by trying to invest in them and safeguarding their work-life balance. This healthy environment will lead to more working ideas, refine job satisfaction, and increase productivity and wellbeing. This focuses on administrative employees wellbeing in Church schools in Malta. Individuals working in the education sector in different levels of school administration participated and their responses may be beneficial to improve their wellbeing at work. Administrative employees play an important part in every school. Through this study, various factors were discussed such as their motivations, needs, work-life balance, and their daily challenges. This study shows that policymakers and leaders in Church schools or colleges must keep on investing in their employees by supporting them through meeting their needs and to sustain their motivation. It is vital to continue supporting them in their workload, their working processes, training, and initiatives and by being creative and maintaining a healthy working environment. This study addresses the importance of being part of a team to instil a healthy working environment where employers are inspired by their employees skills and by investing in their work-life balance. Stakeholders in Church schools and in the education sector, including managers and policymakers, need to address the needs of administrative employees in order to invest in the success in their organisations.
