Abstract

Based on the concept of occupational health psychology, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between well-being, and job performance, and perceived organizational support and well-being. In addition, considering individual differences in work attitudes, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment a were also selected and examined as possible mediating factors. The methodology of this study research was mainly a questionnaire survey. And Eventually, 477 valid samples were obtained produced. Each questionnaire was completed by the targeted teachers at from public elementary schools in Changhuwa County, Taiwan. Regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis revealed shows that perceived organizational support has positive influence on well-being, whereas well-being also has positively affected influence on job performance. Moreover, well-being mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and job performance, whereas work attitude mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and well-being, and also mediates the relationship between well-being and job performance. Consequently, to put these findings into managerial practices, we suggest that it is important for school administrative units should pay close attention to the teachers well-being of teachers, as well as their job performance. By means of designing a Appropriate welfare systems or group activities can be designed in organizations to enhance the teachers’ perception of degree of organizational support that teachers perceive, the teachers’ well-being, and moreover, their consequently  their job performance would be improved as well. The results would benefit both teachers and the administration. Additionally, to positively increase the degree of job satisfaction and organizational commitment would reinforce the relationship between well-being and job performance.
