Abstract

Teachers are engaged in a fulfilling profession. However, a number of studies have proved that a considerable number of high -vocational colleges teachers are facing huge teaching pressure. Under the heavy teaching work and huge teaching pressure, the well-being of teachers in higher vocational colleges feels damage, and it will have a negative impact on teaching quality, work satisfaction and physical and mental health. Teachers' well-being is critical to the development of students and the development of education. Higher vocational colleges are an integral part of the national higher education system, and their teachers play a vital role in the teaching workforce. This paper aims to study the relevant literature on teachers’ occupational well-being and summarize the factors that influence teachers’ well-being.
