Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the level of teachers’ collective efficacy and their level of job satisfaction and to identify whether there are statistically significant differences in the level of teachers’ collective efficacy due to gender, school level, and years of experience variables. It also aimed to investigate the relationship between teachers’ collective efficacy and job satisfaction. To achieve the aims of the study, teachers’ collective scale and job satisfaction scale were used. The sample of the study consisted of 572 teachers in Jerash directorate chosen using the purposive method. The results of study showed that the level of teachers’ collective efficacy and job satisfaction was moderate, and there were no statistically significant differences in the level of teachers’ collective efficacy due to gender and school-level variables, but there are statistically significant differences in the level of teachers’ collective efficacy due to years of experience, in favor of teachers whose years of experience is less than 10 years.
