Perceived-teacher self-efficacy as a predictor of job burnout among a sample of Lebanese teachers

النوع : Mémoire

The present study examined the relationship of teacher self-efficacy and general self-efficacy to burnout on a sample of school teachers (N= 112) in Beirut. The study relied on self-report measures where participants were asked to provide demographic work-related information and fill three questionnaires: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSE). Results were computed using analyses of correlations and regression. The results of the study showed that Teacher Self-Efficacy and General Self-Efficacy are positively and significantly correlated; whereas there was no significant relationship with general or with teacher self-efficacy. Further analysis showed that the number of absent days, among all other demographic variables, is the highest predictor of burnout.
