Abstract

Teachers face various job demands, including administrative responsibilities, instructional tasks, time pressure, and professional expectations, which may contribute to work stress and influence psychological well-being. This study examined the relationship between work stress and psychological well-being using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design with a correlational approach. The study involved 24 teachers at SDIT Multazam Pamekasan using saturated sampling. Work stress was measured using the Teacher Stress Inventory, while psychological well-being was assessed using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale-Short Form (18 items). Quantitative data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test. The findings showed a significant positive correlation between work stress and psychological well-being (r = 0.505, p = 0.012), indicating a moderate relationship. This result suggests that teachers’ work stress tended to function as adaptive stress (eustress) rather than distress. Qualitative findings supported the quantitative results, highlighting a supportive work environment and shared responsibilities between teachers in managing job demands.
