Investigating the Self-Efficacy and Professional Burnout level among Government Schools English Foreign Language Teachers in Lahore

Abstract

The core objective of this research study was to delve into the intricate relationship between self-efficacy and professional burnout within the educational sector, especially focusing on teachers instructing English as a non-native language, who may be grappling with heightened stress levels. A mixed-methods approach was used for the present research, targeting English teachers across various educational levels in Lahore. The study encompassed a sample size of 316 participants, carefully selected from a total population of 1415 English teachers in Lahore, utilizing a simple random sampling technique. Meticulously designed and well-structured questionnaires were distributed and collected from respondents through a Google link. Subsequently, the collected data underwent thorough analysis using (SPSS). The comprehensive analysis of this research underscores a discernible relationship between self-efficacy and professional burnout among English teachers in public schools in Lahore. The core assumption posits that a diminished level of self-efficacy corresponds to an elevated level of burnout among the selected English teachers. The findings highlighted the existence and persistence of this issue among a subset of English teachers.
