This study investigates the psychological well-being of senior secondary school teachers, focusing on gender and school types. A sample of 600 teachers was randomly selected, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale by Sisodia and Choudhary (2012) was utilized for data collection. Descriptive survey methodology, including mean, standard deviation, and 't' test analyses, was employed. The findings indicate no significant gender-based differences in psychological well-being; however, a notable disparity was observed between government and private school teachers. Government school teachers demonstrated higher levels of psychological well-being. These findings emphasize the need for tailored strategies to enhance teacher well-being in different school contexts.
