The quality of teaching mainly depends on the teacher, and therefore on the teacher's perception of his conditions and situations at both home and work. The teacher's subjective quality of life, caused by the quality of hjs home- and work-life, therefore significantly affects the quality of his teaching activities. This paper aims to reveal empirically how one's level of satisfaction in life at home and work relates to his total perception of satisfaction in the living, and thus to draw implications for the lifelong educational programs for teachers. The analysis of a sample of 300 elementary school teachers in Daegu area who are married confirms that high levels of satisfaction in the married life and the family lead to high levels of positive sentiments, high levels of satisfaction in the living, and low levels of negative sentiments, and thus finally to high levels of subjective quality of life. It also shows that high levels of conflict in the family leads to high levels of interpersonal stress in work life, and thus eventually to low levels of subjective quality of life. Also revealed is that low levels of interpersonal stress as well as high levels of satisfaction with the job seems to increases subjective quality of life; high levels of interpersonal stress as well as low levels of satisfaction with the job seems to increases negative sentiments. These findings suggest significant implications for developing lifelong education programs for teachers. Above all, educational programs that can help teachers learn how to resolve a variety of conflict at home and interpersonal stress at work. This study is pioneering in that it attempts to verify empirically how teachers' subjective quality of life is affected by their home- and work-related factors. Study needs to be furthered so that more comprehensive understanding of teachers' quality of life and its variables can provide guidelines for planning credible educational programs for teachers that may contribute to the quality of teaching.
