Second, teachers' efficacy was influenced by day-care center organizational characteristics. In particular, it appeared that 'challenge' and 'distinction of role' affect teacher efficacy when the career of the teacher is less than 5 years. And it appeared that 'challenge', 'distinction of role' and 'retraining' affect teacher efficacy when the career of the teacher is more than 5 years.
