The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between mental well-being, coping and perceptions of reasons for unemployment among the jobless individuals. Data were collected through a survey published on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as through the authors’ contacts. The study included 35 unemployed participants consisting of 22 women and 14 men. The age distribution was: fifteen participants between the age pf 18-25 years old, twelve participants between 26-30 years old, eight participants between 31-45 years old and one participant between 55-60 years old. The results show positive correlations between the factors of stress, well-being, anxiety and depression. However, no correlation was found between these parameters and instrumental social support. On the other hand, a positive correlation was found between emotional support and anxiety. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the use of emotional support and instrumental social support. The result showed no correlation between the factors of stress, well-being, anxiety, depression and active coping. However, there was a positive correlation between active coping, emotional ventilation, self-blame, resignation and internal attribution. Future research is recommended to examine unemployment in relation to gender- based differences and to also investigate the long-term effects of unemployment.
