Burnout, self-efficacy and job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Morocco

Abstract

This study aims at testing the structures of three scales designed for measurement of self-efficacy, burnout and job satisfaction among Moroccan primary school teachers. The study also seeks to explore the possible correlations between these three latent variables. 404 teachers from a small city (El Kalaa Des Sraghna) participated in this study. Data were analyzed by a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the AMOS 25 software. Findings of the study confirmed the two-dimensionality of the Burnout measurement scale, depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, the multidimensionality of the scale of teacher self-efficacy (six dimensions) and the uni-dimensionality of the scale of job satisfaction. A negative correlation has been revealed between the teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction on the one hand and the two dimensions of burnout, on the other hand.
