Abstract
Teacher well-being is crucially important given the inherently demanding and multifaceted nature of the teaching profession. This review aims to explore the relationship between teacher well-being and its antecedents using the Job Demands and Resources model. A total of 58 articles with 494 effect sizes were included in this study. As expected, the results indicate job resources are positively correlated with teacher well-being, while job demands are negatively associated with it. When examining further, personal resources and demands and teacher well-being demonstrated a more nuanced picture. Specifically, personal resources are positively related to teacher well-being, whilst no pooled correlation between personal demands and teacher well-being was observed due to limited data. Moreover, different types of job demands and well-being are identified as significant moderators. The findings support the discussion on how to employ the JD-R model to enhance teacher well-being while emphasizing exploring the influence of various kinds of job resources and demands, and personal resources and demands on teacher well-being.
