ABSTRACT The quality of teaching is significantly influenced by teachers’ self-efficacy. Grounded in social cognitive theory, this study examined the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy for teaching, on the one hand, and individual factors, working conditions, and principal leadership, on the other. Data derived from 466 primary teachers were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching was positively associated with their teaching experience, beliefs in self-directed learning, and support from colleagues. These findings underscored the importance of teachers’ characteristics and collegial support in explaining teachers’ self-efficacy, highlighting the need for fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment in schools.

Work Stress, Work Environment, And Teacher Performance In Islamic High Schools

This study investigates the effects of demographic factors, workplace stress, and the work environment on teachers' performance. Employing quantitative methodologies, it analyzes responses from teachers (Men = 51.7%, Women = 48.3%) at three Islamic Higher Schools or Madrasah Aliyah in Indonesia. Data was gathered through questionnaires directly handed out to respondents. The questionnaires included some demographic details of the participants, such as their gender, age, level of education, duration of employment, and monthly income. A Likert scale was employed to record respondents’ opinions on work stress, work environment, and teacher performance. Data was tested for normality, heteroskedasticity, and multicollinearity before finally being analyzed using multiple linear regression. Findings indicate a marginal performance advantage for married teachers over their single counterparts (B = .234, p = .063), meaning that married teachers perform slightly better than nonmarried teachers. Workplace stress was found to have a negligible effect on teacher performance (B = .160, p = .187), suggesting that teachers' performance did not depend on their being stressed or unstressed. Furthermore, the work environment significantly influences teacher performance (B = .345, p = .006), meaning a conducive work environment leads to better teacher performance. These results highlight the importance of creating a supportive and conducive workplace to enhance teacher productivity, suggesting that educational institutions should prioritize improvements in the work environment to foster optimal teacher performance.

Fostering intrinsic motivation among teachers: Importance of work environment and individual differences

ABSTRACT Given the high importance of the teachers’ role in overall school improvement, there has been a strong tradition to investigate various factors affecting teachers’ motivation in developed countries. However, like other variables, the factors of intrinsic motivation may offer variance in developed and underdeveloped countries. Thus, this study investigated the importance of work environmental factors and the role of teachers’ individual differences in fostering intrinsic motivation by collecting data from 357 Pakistani secondary school teachers. Interpersonal relationships were found to be the highest source of teachers’ intrinsic motivation. The structural equation model revealed that school work environment variables: administrative support, working conditions, interpersonal relationships, promotion, colleagues’ support, and salary were significant factors in fostering teachers’ intrinsic motivation. Teachers’ individual differences in gender, academic and professional qualifications, and work experience also showed a significant role in explaining teachers’ intrinsic motivation although the extent of effect was smaller than work environmental factors. Female teachers and teachers possessing low qualifications and having work experience of 6–10 years were found more intrinsically motivated. Findings suggest that school administration ought to encourage strategies that foster teachers’ needs and expectations, particularly for mid-career teachers and those possessing higher qualifications.
