Abstract
This research focused on verifying the impact of Perceived Social Support on Subjective Well-Being through Self-Esteem. In addition, the mediating role of Self-Esteem was clearly identified as a key variable that can lead to Subjective Well-Being. To verify this, an empirical analysis was conducted on Chinese students who studying in Korea universities. Through empirical analysis, it was found that Perceived social support improves self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to increase the level of Subjective Well-Being. Thus, it was found that self-esteem played a partial mediating role in the relationship between Perceived Social Support and Subjective Well-Being. Through these results, practical implications were presented and future research directions were discussed.
