Abstract

The teaching profession, in both school and university settings, presents challenges in terms of work-life balance. The demands of the job, which include class preparation, student assessment, attention to individual needs, meetings with parents and colleagues, and ongoing professional development, can consume a great deal of time and energy. This can make it difficult to disconnect from work and devote quality time to family and personal life. In line with the above, this study aimed to categorize the results of research on work-family balance in elementary school and university teachers. Method: A systematic review was carried out, through the enunciation of Boolean equations, searching two databases (Scopus and WOS Clarivate). As results, studies were found aimed at: pandemic; gender, health; personal, family and work-associated variables; which account for the difficulties faced by teachers in articulating their family and work life. The research led to the conclusion that achieving a work-life balance is an invariable challenge for teachers, but it is possible to achieve it with appropriate strategies and support from the family, the educational institution and the community. It is important to understand that the physical and mental well-being of teachers are essentials for their professional practice and for the quality of the education they provide to their students.
