N1  - Dissertation (EDD) - BPSU, January 2020; Numerous studies provide shreds of evidence that compassion fatigue is prevalent among  helping professionals like nurses, fire-fighters, clinicians, social workers, and the likes but  limited to teachers and school administrators. Thus, in this study, the researcher aims to  investigate the compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue of educational  administrators in the junior high schools in Bataan, as helping professionals, and how it  can be the basis for a capacity building program.  In this study, the sequential explanatory design was employed to seventy  educational administrators in the two School Division Offices in Bataan. Responses to  Professional Quality of Life Scale Survey (ProQOL) version 5 interpreted using the  ProQOL Manual to determine compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF)  levels, in terms burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS). The results on the  ProQOL and demographic survey questionnaires treated statistically. The findings from  the first phase of this study were used to explore the compassion satisfaction of the  respondents using an interview guide. The responses treated using thematic analysis aided  with the software-MAXQDA. The quantitative and qualitative results of the study served  as the basis for the proposed capacity building program for the educational administrators.  The analyses revealed the following findings: 1) CS of the respondents was  generally high (with high CS=4; with average CS=27) and there is no significant difference  in the CS level when the profiles were grouped accordingly; 2) the CF of the respondents,  in terms of BO, was generally average (with average BO=40; with low BO=30), and there  is a significant difference in the BO level across the highest educational attainment groups   viii  (H=11.97, p=0.02); 3) the CF of the respondents, in terms of STS was generally average  (with average STS=49; with low STS=21), and there is a significant difference in the STS  across the highest educational attainment groups (H=11.97, p=0.02); 4) the one-on-one  interview revealed general themes Duty, Cost of Caring, and Intervention that verbalized  administrators' CS, BO and STS; and 5) the capacity building program cum team-building  was proposed to build resiliency among the educational administrators toward work-life  balance.  Educational administrators accomplish tasks with compassion to help the students,  teachers, staff, parents, and other stakeholders. Respondents felt satisfaction and  fulfillment in performing tasks with compassion. However, some of them narrated they  sometimes feel burnt out & absorb the trauma of the person they helped causing them to  have an average STS. But these negative costs of caring were intervened by respondents'  self-care strategies and leadership support of proper authorities. Personal and professional  development or enhancement, proper mentoring & coaching; seeking continuous  leadership support from proper authorities; having CS & CF awareness; practice self-care;  and, use mindfulness will help them prepare for the cost of apathy, BO, and STS that the  VUCA world may give. Thus, maintaining their work-life balance.  Likewise, proper authorities are encouraged to conduct the proposed capacity  building program since its main goal is to build more resilience among the educational  administrators toward work-life balance in the VUCA world
