Summary/Abstract: The effect of occupational stress on occupational well-being has been validated in several previous studies. However, the analysis on the interaction mechanism between occupational stress and occupational well-being from the perspective of social network still requires empirical support. Thus, on the basis of the survey data from universities in Shanxi Province of China in 2015, the factor analysis and multiple linear regression methods were employed to empirically investigate the relationship between occupational stress and well-being of the junior administrative staff in universities from the perspective of social network. Results show that the occupational stress of the junior administrative staff in universities has a significant negative impact on their occupational well-being. Social network produces a certain negative effect on occupational stress but a positive effect on occupational well-being. The social network of the junior administrative staff in universities can counteract the adverse effect of occupational stress on occupational well-being through the compensation effect. Social network can also cushion the effect of occupational stress on occupational well-being through the moderating effect. The conclusions obtained in this study provide a reference for the junior administrative staff in universities to effectively relieve the occupational stress and enhance the occupational well-being.
