A descriptive survey design was used. Instrument for data collection was questionnaire. Mean, standard deviations and ANOVA were used for data analysis. Findings are 13 factors contributing to unhealthy work-life balance, including, among others, long working hours (X ̅= 3.08); excessive workload (X ̅= 3.00), and inadequate resources (X ̅= 2.98) among others. Other findings are 16 ameliorative strategies, including that TVET practitioners should: prioritize tasks (X ̅=2.67), set realistic goals, (X ̅=3.01), and establish clear boundaries between work and personal life (X ̅= 3.36) and others. ANOVA results reveal that there are no significance differences among the mean responses of lecturers, curriculum experts and industry experts on the factors (F=.390) and the ameliorative strategies (F = 379) (P = 0.05). four recommendations were made based on the findings.
