Organizational performance: The role of teachers’ sense of self efficacy
Keywords:
sense of self-efficacy, organizational performance, instructional strategies, organizational citizenship behaviors, structural equation modelingAbstract
This study examines the distinct and complementary roles of the components of teachers’ sense of personal efficacy (SPE) (instructional strategies deployment, classroom management, student engagement) in relation to their organizational performance (subjective performance, organizational citizenship behaviours individuals [OCBI] and organizations [OCBO]). Data were collected from 250 college teachers in Quebec. The results of the analyses show that only the instructional strategies deployment component of the SPE predict a single component of performance, namely OCBI. The study’s findings support the separate study of SPE components in relation to teachers’ organizational performance, as they do have distinct and complementary roles on organizational performance.
