Questionnaires were administered to social workers in the Tainan regions. A total of 228 valid questionnaires were recovered. They were analyzed using the SPSS statistical analysis software, and the research hypotheses were tested through a series of t-tests, an analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a Pearson correlation analysis. The findings were as follows: 1. For a number of demographic variables, significant differences were observed in the job stress and sense of welling of social workers in the Tainan region. 2. Several social support factors of social workers in the Tainan region, including “support of friends and family,” “support of coworkers,” and “support of immediate supervisors,” significantly and negatively influenced their job stress. 3. The job stress of social workers in the Tainan region significantly and negatively influenced their well-being. 4.
