Objective: The objective was to investigate path analysis of work-family conflict, job salary and promotion satisfaction, job burnout to subjective well-being of primary and middle school principals, and provide advices for enhancing their subjective well-being. Methods: Totally 300 primary and middle school principals in Chongqing completed the WFC, JSPSS, MBI-GS and GWB. Results: There were four significant paths: 1) work-family conflict could influence subjective well- being directly (β = -0.125, P < 0.05); 2) work-family conflict could influence subjective well-being through job burnout (indirect effect was -0.197, total effect was -0.322), job burnout partially mediated the relation between work-family conflict and subjective well-being; 3) job burnout could influence subjective well-being directly (β = -0.529, P < 0.001); 4) job salary and promotion satisfaction could influence subjective well-being through job burnout (indirect effect was 0.169) and reduced the burnouts’ negative influence on subjective well-being, job burnout mediated the relation between job salary and promotion satisfaction and subjective well-being. Conclusion: We can enhance subjective well-being of primary and middle school principals through balancing work-family conflict, intervening job burnout, raising incomes, providing opportunities for career roles.
