Abstract

Psychological well-being means the individual's ability to accept themselves and others in their environment as well as knowing their own potential in addition to developing their existing potential. Teachers are one of the important elements in pedagogy to produce quality education, especially in mastering 21st century learning skills. The imperfect psychological well-being of teachers can affect their quality of life. School organizational climate is a general concept that includes the environment experienced by educators and patterns their behavior especially in the school area. Based on Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986; 1997), this study investigates the interaction between the school's organizational climates on the psychological well-being of teachers in Seberang Perai Tengah, Penang in addition to Passion for Teaching used as a mediator between the two variables. To test the suggested hypothesis, data was collected through a questionnaire. The sample of this study consists of 196 teachers who teach in the Seberang Perai Tengah district, Penang who use the rules of thumbs by Roscoe et al. (1975) This study has found that the relationship between the School Organizational Climate and the psychological well-being of teachers is related, but the passion for teaching as a mediating variable used in this study does not show a relationship between the organizational climate and the psychological well-being of teachers. Based on the findings of the study, the methodology, theoretical and practical implications of the study were discussed. Recommendations for future research are also presented.
