The study aims to investigate the levels of social support and sense of well-being of preschool teachers in Taichung City and to identify the relationships between preschool teachers’ sense of social support and well-being. A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect data from the target subjects to survey their sense of social support and well-being. A total of 524 copies of questionnaire were distributed to stratify-sampled preschool teachers in Taichung City. Only 422 respondents returned, representing an 80% valid response ratio. The collected data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences12. Descriptive statistics, multiple-regression, and Pearson correlation were applied to analyze the relationships among the variables.
The results are summarized as follows:
1. The level of social support perceived by the preschool teachers reaches middle-upper level, while the highest score goes to the category of family emotional support.
2. The sense of well-being perceived by the preschool teachers reaches middle-upper level, while the highest score goes to the category of personal relationship.
