Abstract: This study aimed at exploring the effects of occupational commitment and occupational well-being on job performance among kindergarten teachers. Participants were 328 kindergarten teachers in Sichuan Province and Chongqing City who completed a set of questionnaires including kindergarten teachers' occupational well-being scale(KTOWBS), teachers' occupational commitment questionnaire(TOCQ), and teachers' job performance scale(TJPS). The results showed that:(1) Kindergarten teachers' affective commitment and normative commitment had significantly positive effects on job performance, and kindergarten teachers' continuance commitment had significantly negative effect on job performance after controlling for types of kindergarten, working hours per day, monthly income, age and teaching age.(2) Kindergarten teachers' occupational well-being partially mediated the effects of affective commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment on job performance. These results may contribute to improvement of job performance among kindergarten teachers.

Key words: kindergarten teacher, occupational commitment, job performance, occupational well-being
