The Mediating Effect of Organizational Climate on The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Autonomy of Work of Teachers

Abstract

This study looked at the impact of organizational climate in mediating the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and work autonomy among public school secondary teachers in the Municipality of Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte. This study used a descriptive-correlational research (mediation analysis) approach with a sample of 300 public secondary school teachers. Three different survey questionnaires were employed to collect data from respondents, which were then subjected to content validity and reliability testing. The data was examined using the mean, Pearson-r, multiple linear regression analysis, and Medgraph with the Sobel z-test. The findings demonstrated that organizational climate, self-efficacy, and autonomy of the work of teachers are often observed. Furthermore, there was a strong link between these variables. The study found a substantial partial mediation of organizational climate on the link between self-efficacy and autonomy of work of public secondary school teachers in the Municipality of Sto. Tomas.
