“…For example, Luo (1999) suggested that motivation is positively related to overall job satisfaction and that extrinsic motivation is positively related to depression (Luo,1999). Additionally, it has been suggested that WM is a crucial factor contributing directly or indirectly to WB and that WM has positive impacts on WB (Um et al, 2018), as high motivation triggers psychological WB (Park et al, 2004).

This paper reports on the well-being and work motivation interactions of people working from home. Therefore, whether demographic variables could create differentiation is the second issue of this research. For their benefit, companies prefer to switch remote working formats to be financially efficient and innovative for the most necessities, led by knowledge and computer-based innovation communication technologies. However, on the employee’s side, it is still debated whether this approach is good, bad or sustainable for a long time. The relevance of this scientific problem decision is arguable because there are many aspects of remote working practices and employer/employee interactions for finding an optimum. Therefore, well-being and work motivation wereselected as the research aspects because these factors could reflect the perceived status of people working from home. The survey was administered in Turkey 4 months a time via an online questionnaire, which consisted of the Multidimensional Working Motivation Scale, the Well-Being Index and demographic variables related to a total of 19 questions with 214 participants. Thegathered data revealed that work motivation and well-being interact in a positive manner according to the correlation coefficient. was 0.177 (p<0.01). The interaction between the Amotivation subscale and Well-Being was negative. was found to be -0.306 (p<001). However, demographic variables impacting the differentiation of work motivation and well-being are considered demographic variables, as not all demographic variables have the same impact on work motivation and well-being. The identifiedRegulation, Intrinsic Motivation and Well-Being interaction were also found to be positive, as they had correlation coefficients of0.383 and 0.351, respectively. On the other hand, for demographic variable differential effect purposes, age and income hadmeaningful differential effects on well-being; 35- to 44-year-old people had more well-being points (57.2), and those whose income was higher had a better well-being situation (56.45) than others. However, for work motivation evaluation, there was no meaningful effect of demographic variables.

“…Work-related stress arises "when the demands of the work environment exceed the workers' ability to cope with (or control) them" (EU-OSHA, 2009: 14). Work-related stress is likely to have negative consequences not only for employees in terms of poor health (Siegrist and i Rödel, 2006) but also for organizations since decreases in motivation (Um, Joo and Her, 2018) and occupational stress have a negative impact on workers' performance (French, Caplan and Harrison, 1982), absenteeism and turnover intention (Sager, 1994). For those reasons, job stress is a socioeconomic problem associated with high societal costs (Hassard et al, 2018).…”

The aim of the study is to analyse the association between occupational stress and interpersonal relationships on the job for non-profit workers in Europe. The main assumption of the paper is that social support coming from interpersonal relationships on the job may counteract stress caused by adverse working conditions. The econometric analysis, based on a standard ordered probit model, employs data from the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey carried out in 2015 and released in 2017. Four measures of relationships on the job were considered. Not only relationships on the job with the manager and with colleagues but also external contacts with clients and patients with whom employees interact with when performing their job are included in these relationships, and social interactions with family members made possible by the ability to conciliate working time with family or social commitments outside the job are included as well. The results show significant correlations between interpersonal contacts on the job and job-related stress. Workers who get along well with co-workers have a lower probability of reporting workrelated stress.

“…For example, South Korean elementary school teachers go through an exclusive training system, unlike middle and high school teachers. For that reason, they are more likely to regard teaching itself as the most rewarding and essential part of their existence (Um et al, 2018). Besides, they consist mostly of elite females, while facing heavy busywork and a shortage of autonomy.…”

“…Also, it is entirely incredible that teachers of South Korea among 34 OECD countries showed the highest regret for choosing a teaching profession (OECD, 2014). Out of teachers, in particular, elementary school teachers teach most of the subjects and spend with their children most of the day (Um, Joo, & Her, 2018). Moreover, given that emotional contagion shown as a critical factor in team processes and group dynamics (Barsade, 2002;Bull Schaefer & Palanski, 2014;Mottet & Beebe, 2000), teachers' low emotional well-being may be directly linked to children's low emotional well-being.…”

“…As contributors to emotional well-being in teaching, so far, work motivation, self-esteem, social skill, and resilience have been noted (Ecclestone & Hayes, 2009;Um et al, 2018). In this study, considering the distinctiveness of teaching, we strive to select a calling, as an independent variable, which is common among teachers and has a long and close association with teaching (Bullough & Hall-Kenyon, 2012;Kang, 2009;Richardson & Watt, 2006;van Vuuren, 2017).…”

Teachers’ emotional well-being is incredibly crucial for both teachers themselves and children. When considering this importance, researchers need to explore ways to enhance teachers’ emotional well-being. Before developing an invention program, however, it requires performing in-depth research to give fundamental data for intervention. As part of its efforts, thus, this study intends to examine whether promotion focus and job crafting have a mediation effect on the relationship between calling and emotional well-being. For this purpose, this study collected data from 337 elementary school teachers. Subsequently, the current work administered four scales measuring calling, promotion focus, job crafting, and emotional well-being to them. The findings found that promotion focus and job crafting showed full mediation effects on the relationship between calling and emotional well-being, respectively, with a sequential mediation of promotion focus and job crafting. Finally, this paper critically discusses the implication of which researchers and leaders should be aware and then suggests directions for future researchers.
