Teachers' well-being significantly impacts educational quality and student outcomes, but its determinants remain underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the impact of social media use, marital adjustment, and work-related stress on teachers' quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data from 463 teachers in Konya, Turkey, between June and October 2023, using the Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A), Social Media Usage Scale (SMUS), Marital Adjustment Test (MAT), and Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (DCSQ). Statistical analyses included independent sample t-tests, ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression. Results indicate that higher marital adjustment and older age are associated with better well-being, while increased work stress, absenteeism, and weekly instruction hours are linked to lower well-being. Social media usage showed no significant effect. To enhance teachers' quality of life, schools and policymakers should prioritize reducing work stress and promoting work-life balance
