A total of 912 teachers participated in four surveys, which include the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Values in Action Inventory of Strengths, job satisfaction questionnaire, and the interpersonal relationship questionnaire. The results indicated that (1) Taking interpersonal relationship as a typical work environmental variable, the result shows that it is significantly correlated to subjective wellbeing. (2) The character strengths of &amp;quot;kindness&amp;quot;, &amp;ldquo;authenticity&amp;rdquo; moderated the effect of the teachers&amp;rsquo; interpersonal relationship on subjective wellbeing. (3) The teachers&amp;rsquo; job satisfaction mediated the above mentioned moderation effects. In general, this study shows that the teachers&amp;rsquo; interpersonal relationship affects their subjective wellbeing, with their job satisfaction as mediation and character strengths of &amp;ldquo;kindness&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;authenticity&amp;rdquo; as moderation. The managerial implications were also discussed. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 113, 2016</index> </article>
