This study tested whether empirical data about health and social care educators' occupational well-being would fit the proposed Content Model for the Promotion of the School Community Staff's Occupational Well-being. Descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 552 health and social care educators in 2020. Results confirmed that the four-aspect Content Model for the Promotion of School Community Staff's Occupational Well-being is suitable for promoting health and social care educators' occupational well-being, with some modifications. The results strengthen the view of occupational well-being as a wide-ranging phenomenon, the development of which should take into account four aspects of promoting occupational well-being.
