TEACHER EFFICACY AND TEACHING SATISFACTION OF THE TEACHERS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

This study aims to study the relationship between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction among teachers working in Higher Education Institutions. The study was conceived to find the relationship between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction and variation in the connection concerning teachers' experience, qualifications, academic teaching stream, designation, age, and gender. The Research measured the relationship between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction. It also tested the effects of teachers' experience, qualifications, academic teaching stream, age, and gender. The sample included 155 university teachers working in various state-funded universities in Telangana, India. The findings indicate a strong positive relationship between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction. The results suggest that the relationship between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction does not differ based on teaching experience in years, age, gender, academic stream, and educational qualifications. Further Research may find the issues contributing to the variation in the association between teacher efficacy and teaching satisfaction.
