The role of teachers was crucial to ensure students’ academic success. Teachers were responsible for facilitating learning, offering guidance, providing emotional support, and acting as parental figures for some students. However, these responsibilities might lead to significant work stress, which can negatively impact teachers’ psychological well-being. To investigate this issue, a quantitative survey was conducted, which utilized the PERMA-Profiler adaptation instrument and the School Teacher Job Stressor Scale adaptation instrument. The survey included 758 participants, comprising male (286) and female (472) secondary school teachers from 33 provinces across Indonesia. The results of the linear regression analysis showed that work stress negatively impacts the psychological well-being of teachers (F = 314.9, p < 0.05, and R2 =0.239).
