Abstract: This study examined the role of ChatGPT as an intermediary between teacher performance and work-life balance. The research employed a quantitative, non-experimental correlational mediation model, utilizing several statistical methods such as mean calculations, Pearson's r, regression analysis, and the Sobel test. A group of 38 junior high school educators from Davao del Norte, Talaingod District has been chosen for the 2023–2024 academic year utilizing Slovin’s formula. The results demonstrated that teachers' utilization of ChatGPT was moderate, and their performance was excellent. The study indicated that ChatGPT utilization does not directly mediate the relationship between work-life balance and teacher performance; instead, it highlighted the substantial positive impact of ChatGPT on enhancing teachers' work-life balance.

Keywords: ChatGPT, Davao del Norte Division, educational technology, junior high schools, teacher performance, work-life balance.
