Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of gender and salary on physical activity levels, financial well-being, and life satisfaction of college teachers in Kerala, India. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and data were collected from 250 college teachers using self-administered questionnaires. The study utilized Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale, the CFPB Financial Well-Being Scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to assess life satisfaction, financial well-being, and total metabolic equivalent (MET) scores. The findings are expected to contribute to the existing knowledge on teacher well-being and inform policies to promote educators' well-being in the region. The study hypothesized that higher salaries would be associated with better financial well-being, increased life satisfaction, and higher MET scores among educators. The results of this research are anticipated to provide insights into the complex relationships between gender, salary, and financial well-being outcomes among college teachers, offering valuable implications for enhancing the quality of life and job satisfaction of college teachers in Kerala and beyond.
