Teaching is an emotionally demanding profession that can negatively affect teacher well-being. This
cross-sectional study aimed to test a comprehensive structural equation model of both the direct and
indirect (through affect and intrinsic job satisfaction) relationships between trait emotion regulation and
life satisfaction in a sample of 404 Spanish teachers. The model obtained good fit (SeB c2 ¼ 319.142,
df ¼ 201, p < .001; CFI ¼ 0.957; RMSEA ¼ 0.038). Outcomes suggested that: i) positive and negative affect
mediates the relationship between trait emotion regulation and both life and job satisfaction; ii) job
satisfaction is the main determinant of life satisfaction. Practical implications and limitations are also
discussed.
