Keywords:
Teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, teacher well-being, Philippines, education, teaching effectivenessAbstract
This study investigated the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction among 300 teachers from elementary and high schools in the Philippines. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Results revealed that teachers reported high levels of self-efficacy and moderate to high job satisfaction. Positive correlations were found between teacher self-efficacy dimensions and job satisfaction factors. Multiple regression analysis showed that efficacy for student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management significantly predicted job satisfaction. These findings suggest that teachers who feel more confident in their abilities tend to experience higher job satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of enhancing teacher self-efficacy through professional development and creating supportive work environments to promote job satisfaction and ultimately improve teaching effectiveness. These insights are valuable for educators, administrators, and policymakers aiming to foster positive teaching environments and enhance teacher well-being.
