SUBJECTIVE FINANCIAL WELL-BEING AMONG ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS TEACHERS IN INDONESIA

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between demographics, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being, and the subjective financial well-being of Islamic teachers in Indonesia. The data of 1813 Islamic religious teachers (women = 45.5%, males = 55.5%) working in Indonesia's 19 provinces' schools, madrasahs, and pesantren was collected. Using Google forms, the surveys were given electronically for data collection. Using descriptive statistics and multiple regressions, the data was evaluated. The survey findings indicate that women are more concerned about their financial situation than males. Teachers who are young, credentialed, and have high earnings are less likely to be concerned about their financial situation. Moreover, instructors who love life, are socially accepted, and believe life has meaning tend to view their financial future as safe. According to these data, various variables determine Islamic religious teachers' subjective financial well-being. Furthermore, this essay addresses the dearth of research on the subjective financial well-being of educational professionals, such as teachers. This is the first study to examine the subjective financial well-being of Islamic religious teachers, notably in Indonesia. This study gives crucial information for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of Islamic religious teachers at work and the quality of their lives.
