High work stress and emotional exhaustion among teachers can affect physical, emotional, and mental conditions, as well as reduce performance in carrying out professional duties. In this context, psychological well-being is an important aspect that has the potential to be associated with burnout levels because it includes self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, and environmental mastery. This study aims to determine the relationship between psychological well-being and burnout among teachers at SMA Adabiah 2 Padang. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research participants consisted of 61 teachers at SMA Adabiah 2 Padang who were selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a psychological well-being scale consisting of 48 items with a reliability of α = 0.918 and a burnout scale consisting of 24 items with a reliability of α = 0.880, then analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The results of the study show a significant negative relationship between psychological well-being and burnout (r = -0.613; p < 0.01), meaning that the higher the psychological well-being, the lower the level of burnout experienced by teachers. Psychological well-being made an effective contribution of 37.57% to burnout. The conclusion of the study affirms that psychological well-being has an important relationship with reduced burnout among teachers. The implications of this study indicate the need to develop programs to improve psychological well-being in the school environment to help teachers manage work pressure, maintain psychological well-being, and sustain professional performance more effectively.
