Teachers' well-being and job satisfaction: the important role of positive emotions in the workplace
Abstract
With teacher shortages around the world and high attrition rates in some countries, teachers who experience high job satisfaction offer solid support for school systems as they are healthier, more productive and more likely to retain their job in the long term. This study sheds light on the relationship between job-related well-being and job satisfaction. It investigates the extent to which the well-being domains of (P) positive emotions, (E) engagement, (R) relationships, (M) meaning and (A) achievement are linked to job satisfaction. To do so, it analyses data from 511 German schoolteachers. Results show that higher PERMA profiles were linked to higher job satisfaction rates. Analyses further specified that, of the five factors, positive emotions provided the strongest contribution in predicting job satisfaction. The results suggest that the job-related well-being of teachers, especially positive emotions in the workplace, play an important role in teachers’ job satisfaction and their subsequent retention.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
