Abstract:
One of the most frightening aspects of COVID-19 was the fact that it exacerbated existing social and economic
inequalities for employees who, in addition to being in danger of severe COVID-19 cases, were also especially
vulnerable to face adverse impacts in the workplace. For that reason, this research is conducted to examine the
relationship between COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Fear and Anxiety to Work-Related Quality of Life
(WRQoL) of Corporate Leaders in Metro Manila. The result of this study will give opportunities for
organizations to address these dilemmas and be able to sustain and show concern for mid-level employees’
WRQoL. The study was able to collate 194 responses from corporate leaders within Metro-Manila. The study
was also correlational quantitative in nature and was able to employ a convenient sampling technique. The four
variables in this study were measured within the context of Demographic Profile, Fear of COVID-19, Anxiety
towards COVID-19, and WRQoL. The researchers’ course of action in the methodology was by collating
responses using a questionnaire answered through Google Forms. The questionnaire was modeled to three
standardized tests namely Fear of COVID-19, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and Work-Related Quality of Life
Scale. Subsequently, the researchers treated data with Pearson Correlation Coefficient. In conclusion, this
study indicates that the Demographic Profile of the respondents does not have a significant relationship with
the Fear of COVID-19, the Anxiety towards COVID-19, nor WRQoL. On the other hand, the WRQoL of
Corporate Leaders has a positive correlation with the Fear of COVID-19 and the Anxiety towards COVID-19.
