Abstract Teacher well-being is emerging as a central determinant of educational quality and institutional effectiveness. This study examines how transformational leadership influences teacher well-being, with resilience and job satisfaction operating as key mediating mechanisms. Drawing on Bass and Avolio’s Transformational Leadership Theory and Self-Determination Theory, this research posits that leaders who inspire, intellectually stimulate, and support teachers cultivate both emotional resilience and professional satisfaction, which in turn enhance overall well-being.
A quantitative, cross-sectional design was adopted, surveying 412 teachers across public and private schools in India. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test both direct and indirect pathways. Findings revealed that transformational leadership significantly predicts teacher well-being, with both resilience and job satisfaction mediating this relationship—individually and sequentially. The results suggest that leadership behaviors that foster trust, autonomy, and psychological safety create a ripple effect, strengthening teachers’ capacity to adapt, thrive, and remain professionally satisfied.
This study advances the understanding of teacher well-being by integrating leadership and psychological constructs within a unified model. Implications include developing leadership development programs that prioritize emotional resilience and intrinsic motivation among educators.
