The dynamics between teacher resilience and well-being: A cross-lagged panel analysis

The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic relationships between teacher resilience and well-being, while also analyzing the unidirectional and bidirectional links among different dimensions of resilience, and teacher well-being. The study involved 288 primary and secondary teachers and utilized a two-wave data collection method with a time lag of approximately 3 months. To examine the cross-lagged relationships between the variables under investigation over time, the study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) as the analytical approach. The findings of the study revealed positive associations between physical, emotional, psychological, and social resilience and teacher well-being. Additionally, a reciprocal relationship was observed between spiritual resilience and teacher well-being. This study provided a more rigorous examination of the associations between teacher resilience and well-being. Also, this study offered a comprehensive analysis of the connections between various dimensions of resilience and well-being. Copyright © 2024 De La Salle University.
