Abstract:
The study investigated tutors’ perception of well-being factors that influence
their professional practice in the colleges of education in the Eastern Region
of Ghana. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 202
respondents from four out of seven colleges of education in the Eastern Region
of Ghana to respond to the questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from
standardised questionnaire to measure all the variables. The main findings of
the study were that most of the tutors in colleges of education in the eastern
region of Ghana were satisfied with their wellbeing and do not have significant
influence on tutors’ professional practice. Again, it was also attested that
communal well-being was negative predictor of tutors’ professional practice.
Furthermore, tutors were pleased with their colleges of education
environmental facilities and equipment. Because of these, it was suggested that
tutors’ perception of well-being factors that influence their professional
practice can be conducted in the other Colleges of Education in Ghana to
ascertain the reliability of their perception. It was recommended that GTEC
and various College of Education management should place much premium
on the personal well-being of tutors to help them continue to improve, commit
and dedicate themselves to the course of their professional practice.
