Çağ Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Bölümü Ana Bilim Dalı, Mersin.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12507/3413The purpose of this research is to investigate how the self-efficacy beliefs of English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers relate to their job crafting behaviours and to what extent self-efficacy beliefs predict job crafting behaviours. Additionally, the study examines the differences in these constructs based on demographic factors including age, professional experience, educational background, and institution type. 131 EFL teachers in Kayseri took part in the research, and data was gathered using the "Job Crafting Scale" (JCS) and the "Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale" (TSES). Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-tests and simple linear regression analyses were used to analyze data. The results revealed an important affirmative relationship between EFL teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and their job crafting behaviours. Regression analysis displayed that self-efficacy beliefs considerably estimated job crafting behaviours, indicating that higher self-efficacy beliefs lead to higher engagement in job crafting behaviours. ANOVA results indicated remarkable differences in self-efficacy beliefs and job crafting behaviours based upon years of experience and educational background, while no significant differences were observed based on gender and age. The findings underline the significance of fostering self-efficacy beliefs via targeted professional improvement programs to enhance teachers' job crafting behaviours. Designing in-service training programs to develop teachers' professional skills is advised in this situation. The study offers insightful information that helps teachers become more proficient in the area of English Language Teaching (ELT) and raise student accomplishment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEFL TeachersSelf-Efficacy BeliefsJob Crafting BehavioursEnglish Language Teaching (ELT)Master Thesis
