Purpose : This study aimed to identify the factors influencing wellness in school foodservice workers and to provide meaningful information for developing intervention programs to improve their wellness. Methods : The participants were 170 school foodservice workers employed at 20 elementary, middle and high schools. Dietitians, whose job characteristics differ from foodservice workers, and part-time workers were excluded. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire between August and October, 2024. The data analysis including multiple regression was performed. Results : Multiple regression analysis identified subjective happiness (β=.43, p<.001) and fatigue (β=-.17, p=.018) as significant factors influencing wellness in school foodservice workers. Lower fatigue and higher subjective happiness were associated with higher wellness. These variables explained 25.6% of the variance in wellness. Conclusion : Based on our findings, customized workplace wellness programs should focus on increasing happiness and reducing fatigue to enhance their wellness.
