Abstract

This study examines how personality factors and job satisfaction influence the mental health of secondary school teachers in Nadia District, West Bengal. Using a survey-based design with a representative sample of teachers, the research explores both direct and indirect effects of these factors. Results indicate that positive traits such as conscientiousness and emotional stability are linked to stronger mental health, while job satisfaction serves as an important pathway through which personality shapes well-being. Teachers reporting higher job satisfaction also experience lower stress and greater resilience, underscoring its role as both a predictor and mediator. The study highlights the need for school-level interventions that enhance supportive working conditions and address personality-related vulnerabilities. These findings have practical implications for improving teacher well-being and sustaining educational quality in the region.
