A Study on the Relationship between Teacher Self Efficacy and Burnout

Abstract

The major purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between teacher self efficacy and burnout. In order to collect the related data, “Maslach Burnout Inventory” and “Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale” were used. The sample of the study consisted of 163 randomly cho- sen teachers who worked in various primary and secondary state schools in 2014-2015 aca- demic year. The results of the data analysis put forward that there was significant, medium and negative correlation between teacher self efficacy and burnout levels of the participants. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis results, which were run to assess the relationship be- tween the two variables better, indicated that teacher self efficacy predicted burnout negative- ly. In the light of these findings and other related studies several suggestions were made
