Abstract
Research on the well-being of teachers and educators has lacked focus on physical education teachers. There is little research on the well-being of physical education teachers, including in Indonesia. At the same time, physical education teachers experience enormous challenges, especially during the covid 19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the influence of psychological capital and social support on the well-being of physical education teachers in Indonesia during the covid 19 pandemic. This study involved 248 physical education teachers who teach in urban area, both from public and private schools have a sample ratio of 87.9% male and 12.1% female. Well-being data collected using MHC-SF (Mental Health Continuum Short Form (MHC-SF) from Keyes with validity ranging from 0.477 to 0.723 and reliability r=0.899, psychological capital data using PCQ (Psychological Capital Questionnaire) from Lutan with validity ranging from 0.223 up to 0.49 and reliability r = 0.904, social support data using MSPSS (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) from Zimmet with validity ranging from 0.339 to 0.746 and reliability r = 0.885. The results showed that there was an influence between psychological capital on the well-being of a physical education teacher (p-value=0.000<0.05), as well as the influence of social support on the well-being of a physical education teacher (p-value=0.000<0.05). Based on the coefficient of determination, it is known that the well-being of physical education teachers is influenced by 30.9% by psychological capital and social support together, while other factors outside of this study influence 69.1%. In addition, it is known that the multiple linear regression equation is as follows: Y=13,972 + 0.355X1 + 0.183X2. This shows that there are still many opportunities in the future to conduct other research to find out other factors that affect the well-being of physical education teachers.
