This study measures teacher well-being in terms of satisfaction of economic situation in the last year, state of mind and emotions, satisfaction with work and work performance, and satisfaction of life in general and by areas of life as perceived by teachers in a private school. Among a sample of 44 practicing teachers, the findings showed that teacher well-being was stable over time. They experienced agreeableness despite the pandemic, wherein the majority of the respondents have an overall satisfaction with the four well- being constructs of this study. A significant relationship exists between age, number of children, educational attainment, work designation, and monthly income in relation to the respondents’ subjective well-being. Further, age has a significant relationship with satisfaction with work and job performance and state of mind and emotions. Moreover, a number of children also has a significant relationship with satisfaction with work and job performance. In contrast, educational attainment has a significant relationship with work and job performance satisfaction and with state of mind and emotions. Lastly, monthly income also significantly correlates with the satisfaction of life in general, satisfaction with work and job performance, and economic situation in the last year. Findings help improve our understanding of the highly important variables of teacher well-being which served as a reference for school administrators to enhance the well-being of teachers in the new normal educational setting. Keywords— Well-being, satisfaction, job performance, new normal. I. INTRODUCTION The subjective well-being (SWB) of teachers has gained considerable consideration for the previous few years because of the significant upsurge in sick leave, including job vacating amongst educators through diverse values and nations (Benevene & Fiorilli, 2015). SWB of teachers denotes personal and job- related resources and the lack of bodily and intellectual injury, which produce a healthy dealing in the work setting (Diener & Tov, 2012; Fiorilli et al., 2015; Benevene et al., 2018; Diener et al., 2018). The Mental Health Act, otherwise known as Republic Act No. 11036, points out the right of persons to soundwell-being. The law intends to create a national policy on mental health focused on improving the school population, workstations, and societies, underlining the fundamentalright to mental health among Filipinos. It also emphasized the balanced mental health services provider, emphasizing individuals with health needs related to psychiatric, neurologic, and psychosocial, towards overcoming Society's behavioral challenges that they may live free from disgrace and discrimination (Lally et al., 2019). Furthermore, in order for the school to instill right behavior in pupils, it must first be able to model good behavior by examining the structure of its institutional support and determining if the school's rules and regulations were adequately accounted for. Both environmental and personal factors influenced behavior, according to the social cognitive theory. Environmental factors are those observed by individuals in their environment, such as whether rules are implemented and misbehaviors are effectively regulated, or whether they are tolerated and misused. The climate of the school is also a factor that influences conduct. The presence of a robust institutional support and service unit in school can be used to describe a healthy school climate. Personal elements include the ability to demonstrate self- discipline, a sense of responsibility, and participation (Tinapay & Tirol, 2021). Mental health is defined as "welfare in which every person recognizes their capabilities, be able to manage with life's typical stresses, be able to work effectively and productively, and be able to provide help to their community. The importance of the school environment as a model of correct behavior cannot be overstated. Frequently, schools establish rules and regulations for pupils to obey, as well as repercussions for wrongdoing. Although actions are governed by their consequences, in the case of behavior rand/or environmental influences, the controlling environment is frequently altered by the behavior, as psychological functioning is a continuous reciprocal interaction between controlling conditions and behavior. Both reinforcements and punishments have potential in the environment, but they are only fulfilled by certain patterns of behavior that we have hierarchically constructed within it (Tinapay & Tirol, 2022). The significance of mental health was highlighted in the World Health Organization. It is included in their descriptionof health as "a state of whole bodily, intellectual and societal welfare and not just the nonexistence of ailment or infirmity (WHO, 2016). Economically and culturally, work is considered a necessary practice for the reproduction of life. Various senses and meanings are ascribed to it. Empirically during life, work can mean being a means (temporary) or theaim (mission) of life (Cadena, 2015). In both cases, emotions and emotional states generated, of either accomplishing a goal or not, should be understood as physiological and cultural processes because what might be
