Abstract:

 In this study, the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between teachers attitudes toward change and their burnout is examined. Another purpose is to determine the variables that predict teachers burnout. The participants are 274 teachers who worked in distant education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers Self-Efficacy Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Teachers Attitude towards Change Scale were used to collect data. Independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis was used for data analysis. Additionally, PROCESS macro in SPSS 22.0 program was utilized for mediation analysis. The analysis shows that teachers self-efficacy has a fully mediating role in the relationship between their attitude towards change and emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment dimensions of burnout. Regression analysis shows that gender and seniority variables are significant predictors of personal accomplishment. Besides, there is a negative correlation between emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and a positive relationship between personal accomplishment and self-efficacy. Also, there is a positive correlation between teachers self-efficacy and their attitude towards change. Research findings emphasize that teachers self-efficacy is a critical strength against burnout and point out that practices aimed at improving self-efficacy will provide beneficial outcomes.

 Öz Bu araştırmada öğretmenlerin değişime yönelik tutumları ile tükenmişlikleri arasındaki ilişkide öz yeterliklerinin aracılık role sahip olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin tükenmişlik düzeyini yordayan değişkenlerin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmaya Türkiyede koronavirüs salgını devam ederken uzaktan eğitim sürecinde görev yapmaya devam eden 274 öğretmen katılmıştır. Veri toplamak amacıyla Öğretmen Özyeterlik Ölçeği, Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri ve Öğretmenlerin Değişime Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız örneklem t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA, Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon analizi ve aracılığa yönelik olarak SPSS 22.0 programında PROCESS makrosu kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda öğretmenlerin öz yeterliklerinin değişime yönelik tutumları ile tükenmişliğin duygusal tükenmişlik ve kişisel başarı alt boyutları arasındaki ilişkide tam aracılık rolüne sahip olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Regresyon analizi cinsiyet ve kıdem değişkenlerinin tükenmişliğin kişisel başarı alt boyutunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca tükenmişliğin alt boyutları olan duygusal tükenmişlik ve duyarsızlaşma ile öz yeterlik arasında negatif yönlü; kişisel başarı ile öz yeterlik arasında ise pozitif yönlü bir ilişki bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak öğretmenlerin öz yeterlikleri ile değişime yönelik tutumları arasında pozitif ilişki bulunduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma bulguları öğretmenlerin öz yeterliğinin tükenmişliğe karşı olumlu bir özellik olduğunu vurgulamakta ve öz yeterliklerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik uygulamaların faydalı olacağına işaret etmektedir.
