Summary/Abstract: Mental health of teachers and their well-being in the workplace as long been a focus of interest for the broader academic community. The aim of this paper is to provide a literature review of existing research dedicated to this topic. Most of the studies covered in this paper confirm the fact that a positive and collaborative work environment is a key factor in shaping teachers' stable mental health. When teachers' mental health is stable, it makes them emotionally fulfilled and more prepared to face new professional challenges. Teachers' well-being in the workplace is shaped by a decrease in stress levels and an increase in professional efficiency. A satisfied teacher represents the most valuable socio-economic resource of a country, as a well-educated individual is the starting point for the functioning of any social community. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the number of studies dedicated to the well-being and mental health of teachers is limited. Therefore, we believe that this paper will serve as a useful guide for future research. This paper also includes explanations of the impact of different educational systems on the stability of mental health and the intensity of teachers' well-being in the workplace.
