Abstract

This study is concerned with the relationship between teachers’ personality dispositions and their self-efficacy. The aim of the research is to find out if some personality dimensions are more important predictors of teachers’ self-efficacy than others. Research was conducted on the sample of 168 teachers. Norwegian Teacher Self-efficacy scale was used to measure teachers’ self-efficacy and Big Five Inventory for personality dimensions. Results show that teachers assessed their own self-efficacy quite high. The best evaluated was self-efficacy in the area of Instruction, while other aspects were evaluated lower. Among personality dimensions, the most important predictors of teachers’ self-efficacy were Conscientiousness and Openness.
