A wealth of cross-sectional studies show consistent positive relationships between teachers' happiness and self-esteem on one hand, and health, on the other, which calls for additional research in order to disentangle cause and effect between the two, and to find potential mediators. To investigate the mediating role played by job satisfaction between teachers' happiness and self-esteem and their physical and mental health. A questionnaire was administered, containing questions about participants' background information and the following scales: the Job Satisfaction Survey, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Physical and Mental Health Scales (SF12), and the Ivens Scale in the Adapted Version for Teachers: School Children's Happiness Inventory (SCHI). The participants were 300 primary and middle school teachers from the Indian State of Kerala. Job satisfaction fully mediates between both happiness and self-esteem, and health in teachers. Work is a relevant domain to promote teachers' happiness and self-esteem, and their health, through job satisfaction.
大量的横断面研究表明，教师的幸福感和自尊一方面与健康之间存在一致的正相关关系，这就需要进行更多的研究，以厘清两者之间的因果关系，并找到潜在的中介因素。为了研究工作满意度在教师的幸福感、自尊与其身心健康之间所起的中介作用。我们发放了一份问卷，其中包含有关参与者背景信息的问题以及以下量表：工作满意度调查、罗森伯格自尊量表、身心健康量表（SF12），以及教师适配版的艾文斯量表：在校儿童幸福感量表（SCHI）。参与者是来自印度喀拉拉邦的300名中小学教师。工作满意度在教师的幸福感、自尊以及健康之间起到了完全中介作用。工作是通过工作满意度来提升教师的幸福感、自尊以及健康的一个相关领域。
