Relationship between Self Efficacy and Job Satisfaction of Secondary Teachers in Zunheboto Town

Abstract

Self-efficacy and job satisfaction of the teachers have a strong positive correlation. Self-efficacy is vital in improving the job satisfaction of teachers, suggesting a higher self-efficacy of teachers leads to more satisfaction with their job and career. Their self-confidence supports them to accomplish their task and achieve their goal.  The study aimed to establish the relationship between self-efficacy and job satisfaction among secondary teachers in Zunheboto town, Nagaland. The study was conducted using a correlational research design. The study included 150 secondary teachers from both private and government schools from Zunheboto town, Nagaland. Data were collected using questionnaires that assessed self-efficacy and Job satisfaction. A Pearson product-moment correlation was conducted to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and self-efficacy. The result shows a strong, positive correlation, r (148) = .63, p < .001, shows a positive correlation; indicating that higher levels of job satisfaction are associated with greater self-efficacy. This means that when self-efficacy increases, job satisfaction also does (and vice versa).  Self-efficacy is a key factor in determining job satisfaction among secondary teachers in Zunheboto town, according to this study.
