Abstract: Teachers' well-being plays an salient role in teachers' professional development,

students' academic success and psychological health, and a positive school atmosphere.
However, current research on this issue is largely fragmented, so it is important to assess what
has been studied and gain meaningful insights through a structural review of the literature.
This literature review analyzes the existing research on teacher well-being from theories,
antecedents, outcomes, and interventions of teacher well-being. According to the literature
review, four theoretical models are applied to analyze antecedents and outcomes of teacher
well-being. Personal and organizational antecedents have positive or negative influences on
teacher well-being. Teachers with high levels of well-being can improve teacher professional
development, students’ academic success and mental health, and create supportive learning
atmospheres and environments in school settings. Training in class management ability,
emotional regulation ability, coping ability, interpersonal ability and work-life balance ability
have become more critical and beneficial to teachers. Implications and recommendations for
future research are proposed.

Keywords: teacher well-being, stress and burnout, emotional competence, training and
intervention, literature review

1. Introduction
Teachers plays a imperative role in educational practise, and students’ success , development and
well-being are the primary objectives. There are many pieces of researches that focus on improving
students’ school life experience. However, research shows that improving teachers' well-being is a
prerequisite for improving students' well-being [1]. Since the 21st century of Managerialism [2], the
role of the teacher has been increasingly challenging and complicated, with teachers reporting poor
mental health compared to other vocation [3][4], since the the governments around the world carry
out reforms aimed at improving education with a magnitude and haste [2]. There were many studies
showed that teachers all over the world experience high levels of workload stress and emotional
exhaustion [5]. For example, a survey including 3004 education staff shows that well-being in the
sector is poor and continues to reduce, 78% of school teachers are stressed [6]. The Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) in England study showed that school teachers are experiencing higher than average
levels of mental health disorders [7]. Based on challenges faced in the teaching profession, more and
more teachers are considering leaving their positions. A survey in Australia shows that 8% of
respondents indicated that they would remain in teaching for 1, 5 or 10 years, and 53% of teachers
would not recommend teaching as a career [8]. The research topic of teacher well-being drew more

attention during and after the COVID-19 pandemic since teachers mental health during this time
experienced a significant variation. A Poland study showed that the variation of stress, anxiety and
depression of teachers’ increased by 39%, 10% and 34%, respectively [9]. A reviewed article
published in 2023 showed that Teachers reported high workloads and classroom management
demands, which leaded to stress, burnout, and mental health problems [10].
Education is a extremely emotional career, connected to high emotional demands for students, and
can result in negative impacts on teachers including work dissatisfaction, mental illness, and
diminished well-being, so researcher, administrator, and policymakers are becoming increasingly
care about the well-being of teachers who are the main contributor to students’ well-being [11]. The
significance of teacher well-being has made it the subject of numerous studies which can be divided
into four main research topic: (1) the definition of well-being, (2) the antecedents of well-being, (3)
the outcome of well-being, (4) the inventions of well-being. Some research reviews attempt to
systematically present the research trend of teachers well-being and provide comprehensive
understanding about this research areas [12][13][14][15]. However, there are still some gaps in the
research areas of teacher well-being. First, at present, studies on teacher well-being are relatively
scattered, which to some extent prevents other researchers from gaining meaningful and conclusive
implication from it. Second, the literature review still misses out some important aspects of teacher
well-being, especially the interventions method of well-being which is scattered in some experimental
research. Finally, there were few articles summarizing the theories of teacher well-being, which may
hinder a better understanding of its’ nature. So, the purpose of this paper is to make an updated review
on the basis of the existing research, and make up for the shortcomings of the existing research.
This paper is arranged as follows: First, the definition and scope of teacher well-being are
discussed. Second, an integrative framework for teacher well-being based on existing researches are
proposed to analyze literature more logically. Third, this paper reviews articles and summarize
findings in five aspects which include the theories, the measures, the antecedents, the outcomes, the
interventions of teacher well-being. Finally, this review discusses implications, limitations and
opportunities for future research.

2. What is teacher well-being

There is no consensus on the definition of well-being in academic circles, one definition of well-being
from World Health Organization seems by far the most widely cited: “a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” [16]. When it comes
to teacher well-being, researchers pay more attention to teachers' satisfaction and feelings brought by
professional experience [17][18]Based on literature of positive psychology, Van Petegem defined
teacher well-being as “a positive emotional state that is the result of a harmony between the specific
context factors on the one hand and the personal needs and expectations towards the school on the
other hand.” [19] Acton, R and Glasgow, P defines teacher well-being as a personal sense of
satisfaction, fulfillment, purposefulness and happiness that comes from interactions with students and
colleagues [20].
In order to understand teacher well-being better, some researchers tried to divide it into several
dimensions based on philosophical and psychological theories. For example, Maricuțoiu, L. P.
grouped teachers’ well-being into two general categories: hedonic and eudaimonic well-being based
on existing researches and the initial philosophical class, hedonic well-being refers to life satisfaction
and positive and negative effects in the workplace, while the eudaimonic well-being refers to
psychological functioning and self-realization, psychological functioning include some negative
emotional experiences, such as depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, mental health, boredom, while
self-realization refers to teacher’s reports of engagement, involvement, self-efficacy, sense of
personal accomplishment [21]. In psychological perspective, well-being is also linked to

327
 Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Education Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries
DOI: 10.54254/2753-7048/54/20241620

psychological resilience which is an ability to bounce back from adversity [22] .To distinguish from
well-being in general, Van, Horn. et al proposed and tested a multidimensional model for
occupational well‐being which includes emotional, cognitive, professional, social and psychosomatic
dimensions [23].

3. Review of the studies

3.1. Review framework
Since teacher well-being became a prevalent research topic, several studies have done literature
reviews on this field. Through the review of several literature reviews, it is found that the framework
of the review mainly explores the development process of teacher teacher well-being [24] , review
for a certain group of teachers [25][26], the effect of teacher well-being on students' experience [27].
One article reviewed 774 articles from 1968 to 2021 from three aspects: nature, antecedents and
effects of teacher well-being [28]. On the basis of this framework, this paper reviews articles on
teacher well-being from four dimensions: theories, antecedents, outcomes and interventions, as
shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Review framework.

3.2. Theory models of teacher well-being

There are four types of theoretical models used to analyze teacher well-being. The Job Demands–
Resources Model is the most frequently used one, which is utilized to analyze the antecedents of
teacher well-being. Job Demands–Resources Model contained two dimensions: job demands and job
resources. Job demands refers to physical or psychological cost of the job, like workload, role conflict,
performance evaluation, while the job resources are aspects of the job that can protect individuals
from negative impacts of job demands and promote personal growth and achievements, such as social
support and autonomy in work place [19][30] Meng applied Self-Determination Theory and Social
Cognitive Career Theory to examine the relationships among teachers’ basic psychological needs
satisfaction related to work, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction [31]. Based on the
relationship between emotion and well-being, Broaden and Build Theory was used by Greenier to
investigate the role of emotion regulation and psychological well-being as predictors of work
engagement [32]. In the training of teacher well-being area, the Theory of Changes was used to
explain how certain teacher programme improve teacher well-being, which then improves the
classroom outcomes [33].

3.3. Measures of teacher well-being

Without a unified definition, teacher well‐being has been measured using a wide variety of well‐being
scales. Some researchers recommended using indicators of teaching efficacy and job satisfaction,
school‐level support, and workload pressure to approximate well‐being [34]. Some researchers use
emotional exhaustion (Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey) and job satisfaction scales to
measure teacher’s well-being [35]. The World Health Organization Well-Being Index was employed
to assess emotional well-being [36]. The Satisfaction with Life Scale proposed by Diener was used
to assess whole satisfaction [37]. The Subjective Happiness Scalecould help to evaluates whether a
person is happy or unhappy [38]. PERMA Profiler (positive emotions, engagement, relationships,
meaning, and accomplishment) [39] was utilized by Reppa, G to investigate the influence of self-
efficacy on the well-being of teachers in primary school [40].
In a review article on methods to evaluate teacher well-being, outcome tools were grouped into 8
categories: general subjective well‐being, general occupational well‐being, teacher‐specific well‐
being, teacher self‐efficacy, school‐related factors, positive psychological constructs, negative
psychological constructs, and physiological well‐being [34]. Negative mental health tools were the
most widely used compared to other assessment tools. Paying too much attention to the negative
psychometric tools of health makes people have an incomplete understanding of teachers well-being.
So, Fox suggest that researchers should combine positive and negative factors as well as individual
and contextual factors to measure teacher well-being [34].

3.4. Antecedents of teacher well-being

Exploring the antecedents of teacher well-being has become one of the main areas of concern for
many scholars. This paper grouped antecedents of well-being into two main categories : negative or
positive, personal or collective. In the first category, there is more research focused on investigating
antecedents which have positive impacts on teacher well-being, which includes professional
identity [41], mindfulness and job resources [42], adaptability [43], extraversion and emotional
stability [44], resilience [45], school connectedness [46][47], gratitude and job crafting [48], interest
in work [49], social support [50], job stability and instructor autonomy [18], coping strategies [25],
exercise [29], meditation [33]. A research shows that self-efficacy in promoting student engagement
was the most weighty predictor for well-being of teachers [40].
Antecedents which have negative impacts on teacher well-being include distance learning [51],
classroom acoustic conditions [52], stress and burnout [53], negative affect [54], disruptive students
behavior [55][56], job ambiguity [35]. In order to present clearly the antecedents of teacher well-
being, this paper classifies the positive and negative factors from the two dimensions of individual
and collective, as shown in Table 1.
As can be seen from Table 1, the current research on the antecedents of teachers mainly focuses
on personal positive factors, which drew the researcher’s focus on investigating training or
intervention methods for individual teachers instead of improving organizational or social obstacles.
However, it should be noted that these antecedents are not completely separated in the practical
settings, but may intertwined with each other, which corresponds to the social interaction theory.
Therefore, future studies are needed to measure school-level factors that could influence teacher stress,
such as the community aspects, administrative environment and school financial resources [57].

3.5. Outcomes of teacher well-being

As mentioned early in this paper, teacher well-being is the main contributor to students well-being,
which also the key reason why more and more scholars are focusing on this research field. This paper
grouped the outcomes of teacher well-being into three areas : teacher, student and school culture, as
shown in the Table 2.
From an individual teacher’s perspective, the level of well-being could affect teaching enjoyments
[58], burnout [59], motivation [60], engagement and facing challenges [61], teaching effectiveness
[62]. A study suggested that well-being and resilience of teachers are key contributors in their
professional life because they prevent burn-out [63], which could help school administrators to take
some measures to prevent teacher from turnover and resignation.
Teacher well-being could affect students-related variables, such as students attitudes [64], students
academic outcomes [65], students grades and school satisfaction [66], students’ well-being and
engagement [21], students progress [50]. For example, high levels of teachers’ life satisfaction, an
indicator of teacher well-being, had a positive and significant impact on students' physical and mental
health, as well as perceived support from teachers [67]. Arens, A. K. and Morin, A. J. S utilized
emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction as teacher well-being indicators, and their study showed
that well-being is a salient predictor of teaching effectiveness and positive educational outcomes [64].
Teachers with higher levels of well-being have a supportive effect on students by shaping a positive
interactive atmosphere and environment. Especially the student–teacher interactions [14] positive
emotional atmosphere [55] and classroom environment [62]. According to the literature, environment
is the medium through which teachers influence students, the Prosocial Classroom model explained
that well-being of teachers has an indirect relationship to student outcomes through supportive
teacher-student relationships and effective classroom management strategies [68].

3.6. Interventions of teacher well-being

In the research field of teacher well-being, more studies focus on the personal antecedents of teacher
well-being, which leads to the intervention of well-being mainly to improve the individual ability of
teachers, which is called self-conducted interventions by Rinne and Jenni, they found that researchers
using either physical or psychological exercise to enhance teacher well-being [69]. Individual skills
that can be improved by intervention programmes include emotional regulation skills [70], coping
strategies [71], class management skills [72], maintaining good relationships with other social
relationships [29], mindfulness training [33], connecting well with students [53].
Some researchers also focus on organizational factors, aiming to enhance teachers well-being by
improving job conditions which includes changing school management methods or institutional
culture. Interventions from the school mainly conclude providing availability of resources [73],
minimizing time pressures and narrowing the breadth of required tasks [74], providing sufficient
autonomy [75], feedback and social support from colleagues [50], developmental coaching
(leadership and communication style) [70].
In sum, the interventions for teacher well-being can be grouped into two categories, as shown in
the Table 3. Individual level interventions focus on improving teachers' competences through training
or coaching programmes, while organizational level interventions focus on providing abundant
supportive resources. So far, the most important intervening method is training programs for teachers.
For example, participants who had participated mindfulness training programs reported better
classroom organization and student behaviour management, which led to less time for dealing with
behavioural issues [33].

4. Discussion
Teachers are facing great challenges in their daily work, such as high level of work stress, emotional
exhaustion, and scarce support compared to other type of work. This review paper explored the
theories, antecedents, outcomes and interventions of teacher well-being, which might help researchers
to understand this research area more comprehensively.
The review studies show that there are four main theories models employed to analyze antecedents
and outcomes of teacher well-being. They are Job Demands–Resources Model, Self-Determination
Theory, Broaden and Build Theory, Theory of Changes. Demands–Resources Model was exerted to
explore work -related factors of teacher well-being in the workplace setting, which can help identify
organizational factors that could be improved [29]. Self-Determination Theory was applied to explore
whether psychological needs (satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs) of
teachers are satisfied or not and its influences. Teachers who have a high level of autonomy
satisfaction and competence satisfaction reported high self-efficacy and job satisfaction [31]. This
finding suggests that identifying teachers' needs is a prerequisite for improving their well-being.
However, the needs of teachers may be different, which necessarily might be challenges for school
administrators. Broaden-and-Build Theory put forward by Barbara Fredrickson illustrates the
mechanism of positive emotions for the upward development of individuals within the emerging field
of positive psychology [76]. According to Barbara Fredrickson, experiences of positive emotions
broaden people's momentary thought-action repertoires, which in turn serves to build their enduring
personal resources, ranging from physical and intellectual resources to social and psychological
resources. Greenier, V who applied the Broaden-and-Build Theory showed that emotion regulation
and well-being notably predicted work engagement for British and Iranian teachers [32]. Finally,
when comes to training or interventions, Theory of Changes explained that teacher programmes
enhance teacher well-being by developing teacher competence and skills like emotion regulation and
self-compassion, which then generate positive impacts on classroom organization and classroom
emotional support [33]. Through the analysis of the theoretical model of teacher well-being, this paper
identified four key elements in this research area: demands, resources, satisfaction and emotion, and
divided four elements into two aspects: working conditions (demands, resources,) and personal
competences (satisfaction and emotion).
This review revealed that personal and organizational antecedents have positive or negative
influences on teacher well-being. From an educator's perspective, teacher competencies are crucial
factors in enhancing teacher well-being, with a special emphasis on emotional regulation and student
behavior management skills. This finding underscores the importance of ongoing professional
development, training, and coaching programs for in-service teachers. Moreover, organizational work
conditions have a significant impact on teacher well-being, with high work demands, job ambiguity,
and increased time spent on distance learning potentially contributing to negative outcomes.
Conversely, teaching autonomy, ample resources, a stable work environment, and strong
connections with colleagues and leaders can positively influence teacher well-being. Therefore, it is
essential for educational organizations to provide sufficient resources and support to mitigate the
adverse effects of challenging work conditions and to offer training programs that equip teachers with
effective strategies for managing disruptive student behavior.
This review paper showed that teachers with high levels well-being can improve teacher
professional developments [55], students academic success and mental health [61], and create a
supportive learning atmosphere and environments [62]. These positive effects once again confirm the
necessity and importance of improving teachers' well-being. “Teachers who enjoy high levels of well-
being are likely to be successful teachers, more engaged with their language teaching practice, and
better able to face challenges that occur along the way.” [58] Teachers are the fundamental force for

332
 Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Education Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries
DOI: 10.54254/2753-7048/54/20241620

school improvement. This finding highlights that an crucial contributor to providing social-emotional
and positive mental health resources to students is teacher well-being [1].
The review findings suggest that systematic support for improving teacher well-being is critical
and important. Whether at the individual or organizational level, the essence of intervention is to
provide teachers with professional development training and continuous learning opportunities.
Training programmes that can help teacher to learn skills including reappraisal strategy, emotion
regulating, interpersonal strategies with students, coping strategies, workload and stress managing,
redesigned strategies, and handling of digital tools were especially required [10]. Compared with the
mainstream training that focuses on teaching ability, psychological ability, class management ability,
emotional regulation ability, coping ability, interpersonal ability and work-life balance ability have
become more important and beneficial to teachers, which can better help them cope with the
challenges of Managerialism prevailing in the 21st century.

4.1. Implications for practice

This review shows that the teaching profession is facing great work pressure and challenge. The
implications for teaching practise are that systematic and strengthening of organizational support is
necessary and significant. For pre-service teachers who focus on learning theoretical teaching
knowledge, courses related to emotional regulation ability, teacher-student relationship building
ability and stress management ability should be included in their pre-service learning scope. For in-
serving teachers, professional workshops, intervention and training programmes could be used to
enhance teaching skills, socioemotional competence , well-being and mental health of teachers.

4.2. Future research considerations

Future research should particularly focus on the theoretical construct of teacher well-being, which
could help people understanding well-being better and more comprehensively. This means that
researchers could use more qualitative or mixed research methods to delve deeper into the nature of
teacher well-being. On the other hand, this review found that the perspective of psychological theory
has occupied the mainstream of teacher well-being research, and the use of measurement tools to
explore the antecedents and outcomes of teacher well-being has become a common research logic.
Future studies can explore the institutional and structural factors of teachers well-being from the
perspective of sociological theory. For example, narrative research methods can be used to describe
in depth the causes of teachers' happiness or unhappiness, showing how these factors are intertwined
with social institutions and political decisions. Such research could go beyond the perspective of
individual teachers or school organizations to see the impact of macro institutional factors on
individuals and organizations.

4.3. Strengths and limitations

Despite the effort to search the literature as much as possible, there is still the possibility of
overlooking some studies because the review was limited to only papers published in English
However, strengths of this review contain an expanding and greater understanding of teacher well-
being and identified knowledge gaps in theoretical basis, training and supporting strategies needed
for teaching management in 21 century classroom and maintaining teacher well-being.

5. Conclusions
The literature review explored various aspects of teacher well-being, including relevant theories,
antecedents, outcomes, and interventions. The findings emphasized the emotionally demanding

333
 Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Education Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries
DOI: 10.54254/2753-7048/54/20241620

nature of the teaching profession and its association with high levels of stress and burnout, which can
adversely affect both teachers and their students. While student well-being has garnered significant
attention in global politics and educational discourse, it is crucial to prioritize teacher well-being as
well. Acknowledging the significant impact that teacher well-being has on the overall quality of
education, it is imperative to develop targeted interventions and supportive policies to promote the
mental health and emotional resilience of educators in academic settings.
In addition to the psychological perspective, the study of teacher well-being based on sociological
theory may help people explore the organizational and institutional factors related to teacher well-
being. Effective class management, emotional regulation and collective support from colleagues and
schools are of great help to teachers. Administrators within schools can support teacher well-being
by providing teaching autonomy, intervention programs, and sufficient job resources. Support from
university departments where researchers provide more efficient and systematic intervention
programs by keeping close collaboration with teachers is also vitally important to teacher well-being.
In conclusion, this review demonstrates that teacher well-being is influenced by many factors
including teacher personality, work-relate stress, teacher-students relationship and school
environments. Teacher well-being could have impacts on many aspects of teachers themselves,
students and school cultures. An effective strategy for enhancing teacher well-being is building a
support network that integrates teachers themselves, colleagues, school administrators and university
institutions.
