Issue Abstract

Abstract
Psychological Well-being (PWB) is a broad and dynamic construct that deals with social and subjective dimensions of human psychology as well as health-related issues and behaviors. It is very painful to register that only a few of the entrepreneurs of higher educational institutions understand the stress levels of the highly valuable teachers they employ and provide a window for stress relaxation or relieving their stress levels. A stressful teacher always prefers to leave the job, retaining valuable and resource-rich teachers has been a daunting job for the higher educational institution managers and entrepreneurs functioning in India. Prevailing situations i.e., the state of helplessness cause the teachers stress and it directly affects their psychological, physical, and mental in term of well-being. At this juncture, the higher educational institution function in India i.e., managers and entrepreneurs have to offer a friendlier, more supportive, and progressive at same time learning cum updating environment to ensure positive performances and maintain the utmost psychological well-being of the teachers. As the society can flourish only if a good teachers exist in a society.
