Abstract
  It has been recognized that teachers have a very busy schedule. However, little attention has been paid to teachers' time-use. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the time-use and role conflict that result because of the lack of work-life balance of junior high school teachers.
  In conclusion, we would like to state the following three points. First, junior high school teachers invest their time in work. Second, the long working hours and inappropriate time-use result in a role conflict. Third, the role conflict is due to fact that junior high school teachers lack a work-life balance. Hence, it can be inferred from the results of this study that junior high school teachers are in a difficult position.
