Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected educational organizations. Therefore, studying the psychological factors that can increase educational organization staff's efficiency during the pandemic is very relevant to the present day and socially significant. Aim: to empirically investigate the development of different types of educational staff's self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. J. Maddux and M. Scheer The Level of Self-Efficacy (modified by L. Boyarintseva), Short Occupational Self-Efficacy (adapted by O. Kredentser), and a passport-questionnaire. Results. There is an insufficient level of development of all types of staff' self-efficacy in educational organizations. Particularly low self-efficacy has been found in teaching subjects. Staff's organizational and professional characteristics (work experience, position, qualification category) and socio-demographic characteristics (marital status) are associated with different types of staff's self-efficacy. There is also a close relationship between staff's self-efficacy and the characteristics of educational organizations. Conclusions. The obtained data necessitate the creation of special psychological technologies for the development of various types of educational staff's self-efficacy.
