An Analysis of the Relationship between Teachers’ Subjective Wellbeing and Their Occupational Resilience

Abstract

This research aims to determine teachers’ perception levels regarding subjective well-being and their occupational resilience, and reveal the relationship between these two variables. Having a relational survey design, the research was carried out with teachers working at schools located within the province of Şanlıurfa in Turkey. The sample held a total of 346 teachers who work at different school types during the 2017-2018 academic year. Among the participants, 163 were women and 183 were men. This research deployed “Personal Information Form”, “Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (TSWQ)” and “Occupational Resilience Beliefs Scale for Teacher Candidates” as data collection tools. The research data were analyzed through the use of SPSS 21 statistical package program. Frequency, arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were calculated in order to determine the teachers’ perception levels regarding the subjective well-being and their occupational resilience. Pearson-Moment Product Correlation method was used to identify whether there was a significant relationship between the teachers' subjective well-being and their occupational resilience perception levels. Besides, multiple regression analysis was performed to determine as to whether the teachers’ subjective well-being predicted their occupational resilience. Research findings revealed that the teachers’ perception levels regarding subjective well-being and occupational resilience beliefs were quite high. A medium, positive and significant relationship was noted between the teachers’ subjective well-being and their occupational resilience. The subjective well-being of the teachers was found to significantly predict the occupational resilience and explains 71% of the total variance.
