The research data were analyzed through the use of SPSS 21 statistical package program. Frequency, arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were calculated in order to determine the teachers’ perception levels regarding the subjective well-being and their occupational resilience.

Besides, multiple regression analysis was performed to determine as to whether the teachers’ subjective well-being predicted their occupational resilience. Research findings revealed that the teachers’ perception levels regarding subjective well-being and occupational resilience beliefs were quite high. A medium, positive and significant relationship was noted between the teachers’ subjective well-being and their occupational resilience.
