The research objectives are to describe the subjective well-being of teachers, analyze the construct validity and reliability of subjective well-being scale construct, and find the shaper component of subjective well-being scale construct. The subjective well-being scale measure components with two components are cognitive and affective. The subject of the research is the teachers work in "X" Junior High School CFA with a total of 69 people. The data collecting method is using a subjective well-being scale. The research data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) SmartPLS 3.2.8 with a reflective construct through 2nd order CFA. Based on the analysis result of the construct validity and construct reliability, the components and indicators which form subjective well-being to teachers are stated valid and reliable. It points to all existed indicators and components that are able to reflect and form subjective well-being. By then, the measurement model could be accepted because of the theory drawing subjective well-being based on empirically collected data.
