Work–Family Interface and Job Satisfaction among Private Sector Teachers: The Mediating Role of Psychological Well-Being in the Context of GST Reforms

The present conceptual study highlights the significant relationship between work–family interface, psychological well-being, and job satisfaction among private sector teachers in the context of GST-related socio-economic and institutional changes. The study concludes that an imbalance in work and family responsibilities may negatively affect teachers’ psychological well-being, which in turn reduces their job satisfaction. Psychological well-being plays a crucial mediating role in explaining this relationship. Therefore, maintaining a healthy work–family balance is essential for improving teachers’ mental health and professional satisfaction. The study emphasises the need for supportive institutional policies and well-being initiatives in private educational institutions.
