Abstract

The study aimed to explore the relationship between Self-Transcendence, Passion, Neurotic perfectionism, and Subjective well-being at work among kindergarten teachers as well as investigated the possibility of prediction of Subjective well-being at work from Self-Transcendence, Passion, and Neurotic perfectionism. The participants (163 female teachers, Mage = 33. 10, SD = 3,99) were randomly selected from the kindergarten teachers at Sohag. The researcher of this study translated The Big Three Perfectionism Scale (by Smith, et al., 2016), and prepared scales of Self-Transcendence, Passion, and well-being at work. Results of the study indicated that: (1) There was positive statistically significant relationship between Subjective well-being at work and Self-Transcendence (r=0.743), Harmonious passion (r=0.744), and There was negative statistically significant relationship between Subjective well-being at work and obsessive passion (r=-0.514), Neurotic perfectionism (r=-0.608). (2) These variables explain about (69.2%) of the variation in Subjective well-being at work among. Harmonious passion was the strongest variable and explain about (55.3%) of the variation in Subjective well-being at work. (3) There were statistically positive effects of Self-Transcendence, Passion, and Neurotic perfectionism on Subjective well-being at work.
