Abstract

Employment in the coal mining sector involves high physical and psychological demands, making workers particularly vulnerable to mental health problems that may affect their psychological well-being. This study examined the effect of mental health on psychological well-being among coal mine workers at PT XYZ in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. We conducted an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design among 140 workers selected through simple random sampling from a population of 220 employees. Mental health was assessed using the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), while psychological well-being was measured using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. We analysed the data using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings showed that mental health had a positive and statistically significant effect on psychological well-being, although the effect was relatively weak. These findings highlight the importance of workplace mental health initiatives that support the psychological well-being of coal mine workers.
