Abstract

This quantitative study investigates effects of self-efficacy on occupational commitment of teachers in Balochistan. The study's objectives are to find out opinion of teachers about their self-efficacy on occupational commitment. A quantitative, non-experimental, predictive correlational research design was
used to achieve the study's objectives. Government secondary-school teachers and students of Balochistan are selected for this study. A sample of 640 teachers and 640 students is selected through a multistage sampling technique. The Teacher Self-efficacy Scale developed by Tschannen-Moran and Hoy (2001), and self-developed questionnaire of occupational commitment are used for the collection of data. Likewise, a multiple regression model is also used to explore the effects of self-efficacy of teachers on occupational commitment. For reliability and validity of the data, the self-developed questionnaire was sent to experts for review and pilot test. Descriptive statistics mean and standard deviation determined respondents' perceptions of self-efficacy and occupational commitment. This study results indicate significant effects of self-efficacy on occupational commitment. It is important because self-efficacy is required to upgrade teaching standards of teachers.
