The Relative Contribution of Career Sustainability to the Psychological Well-Being of Teachers in Syrian Refugee Camps in Light of Some Variables

The study aimed to identify the level of both Career Sustainability and psychological well-being among teachers in Syrian refugee camps, and the relative contribution of Career Sustainability to psychological well-being. The study sample consisted of 282 teachers (138 males, 144 females) from the Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, selected by convenience sampling. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used (Chin et al., 2022) scale of Career Sustainability and (Anyamesem-Poku & Parmar., 2024) scale of teachers’ psychological well-being after ensuring reliability and validity. The results of the study indicated that the overall level of Career Sustainability was (high) and for the dimensions (Integrative, Renewable, and Flexible) was high, while the level of the dimension (Resourceful) moderate, and the overall level of psychological well-being was also (high). The results of the study for the sample as a whole showed the ability of vitality, extraversion, and resourcefulness to predict psychological well-being; they explained 35.4% of psychological well-being, and the predictor variables explained (30.3%) of the (Renewable) dimension; the predictor variables explained (4%) of the (Integrative) dimension; and the predictor variables explained (1.1%) of the (Resourceful) dimension. The percentage of variance explained by the variables of flexibility, gender, marital status, and educational experience was not statistically significant. The study made several recommendations, the most prominent of which was the development of guidance plans and programs based on enhancing the components of professional sustainability that have proven effective in predicting psychological well-being (Renewable, Integrative, and Resourceful), as a direct means of improving the mental health of employees.
