Quality of work life and psychological well-being levels of special education teachers during the COVID-19 process

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the quality of work life and psychological well-being of special education teachers during the COVID-19pandemic process. In this study, relational scanning was carried out by employing the general scanning model. The sample of the study encompasses 448 special education teachers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, special education teachers were reached online in electronic media via Google Forms. In the research, "Demographic Information Form", "Work Life Quality Scale" and "Psychological Well-Being Scale" were used for data collection. It has been determined that there are statistically significant differences between the scores of special education teachers from the Work-Life Scale in general and the sub-dimensions of work-career satisfaction, general well-being, working conditions and family-work-life balance in the scale based on their gender. A statistically significant difference was obtained between the scores of the teachers in the family-work-life balance subscale according to their marital status.
