Relationships between Teacher Efficacy and Job Satisfaction among Novice and Experienced Secondary Agricultural Educators
The teacher shortage in the United States is a continuous problem for the American education system. Maintaining a high level of job satisfaction of teachers is an important goal for administrators, superintendents, and school systems. Employees who are more satisfied are generally
more productive and committed to the profession. Beliefs in competence play a major role in job satisfaction. The purpose of the study was to describe the differences between novice teachers and experienced teachers on teacher efficacy and job satisfaction factors. A random sample of agricultural
educators in the United States was surveyed. Overall, agricultural educators possessed a high level of teacher efficacy and were satisfied with their jobs. Agricultural educators did, however, report lower levels of teacher efficacy related to student engagement and lower levels of job satisfaction
related to the teaching as a profession factor.
