Peran Teacher Efficacy Terhadap Burnout pada Guru SD Sultan Iskandar Muda Medan

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of teacher efficacy on burnout among teachers at SD Sultan Iskandar Muda Medan. The research method used was correlational quantitative with a total sampling technique involving 47 teachers. Data were collected using two validated psychological scales: the teacher efficacy scale and the burnout scale. The results of the analysis showed that the data were normally distributed, linear, and free from heteroscedasticity. The results obtained were p < .001 with a correlation coefficient R = 0.768, R² = 0.590, F (1,45) = 64.862, p < .001. These results indicate that teacher efficacy contributes 59% to burnout. This finding suggests that the higher the teacher's efficacy, the lower the level of burnout experienced. This is consistent with previous studies indicating that teachers’ belief in their abilities can reduce work-related exhaustion. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to maintain and improve teacher efficacy in order to prevent teacher burnout.
