Abstract(s)

In recent years, the relationship between teachers’ health and organizational health in schools has attracted growing interest in educational research. The studies by Borralho et al. (2020) and Bagdziuniene et al. (2023) indicate that a positive organizational environment—characterized by a supportive climate, effective leadership, and strong interpersonal relationships—has a significant impact on teachers’ physical and mental health, influencing aspects such as professional wellbeing, exhaustion, cognitive disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and voice alterations. Research also highlights that fostering a positive organizational culture through interventions aimed at improving teachers’ well-being can lead to enhanced job satisfaction and resilience, ultimately benefiting both educators and students (Van Woerkom, 2021).
