Self-efficacy refers to beliefs about one’s capabilities to learn or perform behaviors at designated levels (Bandura, 1997). The main aim of this study is to determine the self-efficacy beliefs of teachers about teaching profession. The research was designed based on a descriptive survey method. The research group comprised 217 secondary school teachers working in 22 schools in Gaziantep city center in Turkey. The data were collected using the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale originally developed by Tschannen-Moran ve Woolfolk Hoy (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Çapa, Çakıroğlu, Sarıkaya (2005). The data were analyzed using basic descriptive statistics (arithmetic means and standard deviations), independent samples t test and one way Anova analysis.As a result of the study it was concluded that participating secondary school teachers had favorable beliefs of self-efficacy in terms of teaching profession. We can conclude that gender is not effective according to the context of the self-efficacy. Subjects taught are not related with self-efficacy in this study. Finally this study showed that reward and punishment is very important for the self-efficacy beliefs of the secondary teachers. Because self-efficacy influences academic motivation some activities can be done to increase the self-efficacy beliefs of the teachers by providing different reward system. ÖzetÖz-yeterlik bireylerin herhangi bir performansa yönelik kendileri hakkında algıları şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin mesleklerine ilişkin öz-yeterlik algıları öğretimin kalitesini doğrudan etkileyen faktörlerden birisidir. Ortaokul öğretmenlerinin öğretmenlik mesleğine yönelik öz yeterlik algılarının araştırıldığı bu çalışma betimsel bir tarama çalışmasıdır. Araştırma 2013–2014 eğitim-öğretim yılında Gaziantep İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı olan 22 ortaokulda görev yapan 217 öğretmenle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada veriler orjinali Tschannen-Moran ve Woolfolk Hoy (2001) tarafından geliştirilen ve Türkçeye adaptasyonu Çapa, Çakıroğlu, Sarıkaya (2005) tarafından yapılan  “Öğretmen Öz-yeterlik” ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS programı ile, frekans, yüzde, varyans analizi, bağımsız gruplar t-testi gibi tekniklerle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde sonuçlara göre öğretmenlerin mesleklerine yönelik öz-yeterlik algıları yüksektir, cinsiyete, branşa ve sınıf mevcuduna göre değişmemektedir. Ancak öğretmenlerin öz-yeterlik algıları almış oldukları disiplin cezalara ve ödüllere göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında öğretmenlerin öz-yeterliklerini artırıcı ödül uygulamaları ve öz-yeterliğe etkisi zayıf ceza uygulamalarının geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Student misbehaviour is an increasing problem of contemporary school. The aim of this research was to examine the extent to which teachers perceive student misbehaviour, how self-efficient they are, how satisfied they feel with support from their environment and with the teaching job itself, and to which extent they experience the burnout syndrome. The research included 603 primary and secondary school teachers in the Republic of Croatia, and it found quite low, but significant negative correlations between student misbehaviour and teachers’ self-efficacy, personal accomplishment, and job satisfaction. Besides, positive correlations between student misbehaviour and teacher burnout were also proven. Statistically significant differences between primary and secondary school teachers were found in their experience of student misbehaviour, dealing with adversities related to student misbehaviour and provided support from expert associates. The results of regression analysis indicate that the overall misbehaviour and satisfaction with help from parents significantly contribute to satisfaction with the teaching profession, and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization lead to decrease of job satisfaction. The results also indicate that demographic characteristics, namely years in service and the type of school, do not contribute to the explanation of neither burnout nor job satisfaction. The implications applicable in practice could relate to the need for preventing student misbehaviour and empowering teachers, regardless of their in-service years and the type of school they work at. Keywords: burnout, classroom management, job satisfaction, quantitative methodology, self-efficacy

School head teachers can no longer lead their schools on your own; they are obligated to cooperate with their leadership team members. They assign various leadership functions to teachers and allow them to contribute in decision-making process. In this context, this correlational study was mainly intended to analyze secondary school teachers’ perceptions regarding various functions of distributed leadership and to find out their relative weight in terms of predicting secondary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Furthermore, the effect of three demographical variables (i.e., gender, experience, school sector) was also studied in predicting teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. A randomly selected sample of 1335 secondary school teachers completed self-report questionnaire comprising three parts i.e., demographic section, 23 item Distributed Leadership Inventory (Hulpia et al., 2009) and 10 item Teacher Self-efficacy Scale (Schwarzer et al.,1999). Results of descriptive analysis revealed that secondary school teachers perceived themselves as highly self-efficacious. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that all the independent variables related to distributed leadership i.e., support, supervision and coherent leadership team and dependent variable i.e., teacher self-efficacy were found to be substantially related with each other. Standard multiple regression analysis indicated that coherent leadership team variable was the strongest predictor of secondary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Results also suggested that coherence among leadership team affects secondary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs more positively in comparison with all the other independent variables. As regards demographical variables, school sector found to be a significant predictor of secondary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Finally, this study recommends that school leaders should work in cooperation with all the teachers with a clear view on school goals in a trustworthy and open environment avoiding any role conflicts.
