The results indicated that PSC correlates positively with teacher health, work engagement and positive psychological capital (PsyCap); teacher health mediates the relationship between PSC and both work engagement and PsyCap, promoting both; PsyCap is linked to higher job satisfaction and lower stress; and work engagement and PsyCap partially mediate the relationship between PSC and job satisfaction, promoting the latter, and stress, reducing its levels. It would be important that these results would have a driving effect on interventions with teachers to prevent and improve their health and well-being.engPositive psychological capitalPsychosocial safety climateWork engagementJD-R modelTeacher healthjournal article10.11144/javeriana.upsy24.psce
