This research analyzes teachers' material and psychosocial working conditions and well-being/discomfort in Chilean secondary school. It has a multivariate, descriptive/cross-sectional, correlational and explanatory design-wellness/discomfort being the dependent variable in the construction of this multiple regression model. Information was collected along 2008 from a representative sample of educational establishments funded by the State of Santiago. It concludes that teachers perceive the precariousness of their working conditions and the high levels of labor demand (work intensification). An explanatory model of teachers' well-being/discomfort is constructed, which consists of seven variables, two of which are outlined for their high explanatory power: "meaningfulness in work" and "labor demands".
