Abstract
Health has always been on top of every individual’s priority. A healthy eating habits coupled with regular exercise is expected to yield a better nutritional health status. But during this pandemic, most people are required to work from home, thus disrupting their usual eating habits and other physical activities. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine the relationship between the health status of faculty amidst pandemic and their level of work engagement and motivation. It was participated in by 50 female and 23 male faculty members of LSPU – Los Baños Campus (LSPU-LBC) during the academic year 2020-2021 whose age ranges from 25–63 years old. Most of the respondents have normal BMI and blood pressure reading amidst pandemic. The respondents were found to be engaged with their work with a calculated mean rating of 3.47. They were intrinsically motivated despite the present situation as evidenced by the mean rating of 3.44. With the aid of Chi-square, the study found out that the respondents’ age is significantly related to motivation level with a p-value of 0.030. However, sex and health status are not significantly related to work engagement and motivation level. Hence, the hypothesis stating that there is no significant relationship between the stated variables was partly upheld by the study.
