Abstract

This study investigates the moderating role of job satisfaction (JS) in the relationship between job involvement (JI) and psychological well-being (PWB). The research investigates the extent to which job satisfaction affects the relationship between job involvement and psychological well-being of secondary school teachers. Using multi-stage stratified random sampling, a total sample of 248 secondary school teachers was obtained to participate in the study that adopted a cross-sectional survey design. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data that were entered into the computer using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 27 (IBM SPSS). The hypothesis on moderation was tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Hayes, 2022) through Model 1. Upon testing the hypotheses, this study found a positive and statistically significant relationship between job involvement and psychological well-being. Job satisfaction moderated the relationship between job involvement and psychological well-being.
