Abstract:
This study examined the health consciousness, health-related behaviors and psychological wellbeing of
a sample of 110 teaching faculty at Jimma University. A structured questionnaire was used to generate primary
data. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression and partial correlation analysis were conducted to determine the
independent and combined contributions of health-related behaviors and health consciousness in predicting
psychological wellbeing. It was found that in tune with our expectations, most participants had proper health-related
behaviors, paid attention to their personal health and had a high sense of psychological wellbeing. Furthermore, it
was noted that health-related behavior was a statically significant independent predictor of psychological wellbeing.
It looks that health-related behavior and health consciousness were influencing optimal functioning and development
at one’s true and highest potential during adulthood. Further line of inquiry was also suggested
