Dissertation note: Undergraduate Thesis (BHS) - Human Services Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, 2025 Abstract: This study assessed the well-being of regular faculty members at the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges in Nabua, Camarines Sur. It specifically focused on tenured and tenure-track faculty members with at least four years of service, who face unique professional demands. A total of 10 participants were selected through purposive sampling. The study aimed to determine the key factors affecting faculty well-being, identify challenges such as stress, workload, and lack of institutional support, and propose interventions that promote mental, emotional, and physical wellness, foster collegiality, and support work-life balance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically. Four primary themes emerged: Support System, highlighting the value of collegial relationships and personal networks; Institutional Support and Policies, referring to the need for clear, fair, and accessible programs and incentives; Holistic Sustainability, which underscored the balance of emotional, psychological, and professional needs; and Workplace Inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of equitable development opportunities and inclusive policies. Findings revealed that while faculty members valued collaboration, wellness initiatives, and financial incentives, they continued to face challenges related to workload, limited access to mental health resources, and inconsistent policy implementation. Environmental and socioeconomic factors, such as financial insecurity and community safety, also influenced well-being. In response to these findings, the study proposed the "THRIVE: Comprehensive Well-Being Program for CAS Faculty," designed to promote mental, emotional, physical, and social wellness. The program holds implications for improving faculty satisfaction, institutional effectiveness, and long-term faculty retention through structured support and policy reforms.
