“…Well-being is difficult to define and measure. There are several definitions of wellbeing, and one example is that of O'Sullivan et al [88], who described it as a state of being psychologically healthy, positive, and encouraged. Specifically, it is healthy emotion regulation, namely high reappraisal emotion regulation, and low-stress levels [89][90][91].…”

The mathematics teachers’ profession often has many challenges. It also occupies important positions at the K-12 education level, in which mathematics knowledge is the basis of all scientific fields. This tends to cause high-stress levels and a negative effect on well-being. Mathematics teachers’ well-being has been less examined, and therefore this study aims to determine the factors affecting mathematics teachers’ well-being and stress levels. The 210 data points collected from Chinese mathematics teachers using a web-based questionnaire were analyzed for reliability and validity, then model fit and SEM were applied for model validation after removing 3 invalid data points and incomplete responses. The results showed that behavioral and cognitive engagements significantly affect teachers’ well-being, while the affective engagement was insignificant. The TPMK was the strongest significant predictor that had a positive impact on improving well-being and reducing stress levels. In addition, the stress level of mathematics teachers was influenced by gender and age. Finally, it was proven that teachers’ well-being significantly reduced stress levels. This study’s implication was to provide information on how to reduce stress levels.
