Toward the Impact of English as a Foreign Language Teachers’ Grit and Self-Efficacy on Their Burnout

Jinghan Zhou

Abstract: Due to the adverse effects of teachers’ burnout on their professional performance, remarkable attention has been devoted to this mental state and its negative predictors. In this regard, multiple empirical research has been carried out to assess the effects of grit and self-efficacy as negative predictors of teacher burnout. Yet, no empirical or review study has delved into the impact of these variables at the same time. The current study attempts to fill this gap by delineating the impact of English as a Fore… Show more

Researchers have done a great deal of research on the variables associated with early childhood teacher burnout, but the findings are numerous and inconsistent. Therefore, this study explored the variables most associated with burnout among early childhood teachers through meta-analysis. The National Assembly Electronic Library in Korea, Riss, the National Electronic Library, and DBpia databases were all thoroughly searched by researchers. Strict inclusion criteria resulted in the inclusion of 201 studies, and 35 variables total—divided into 5 variable groups—were analyzed. The results showed that the most correlated variable group with burnout was the psychological personality protective variable, and the largest effect size variables among the variable groups were age ( r = −.3052), resilience ( r = −.5415), calling ( r = −.526), turnover intention ( r = .5021), and interpersonal relationships ( r = −.4552). However, the variables in the psychological personality risk variable were not statistically significant. Although more thorough validation by follow-up studies is still required, these findings offer a more scientific data reference for the prevention and improvement of burnout among early childhood teachers in Korea and suggest a direction for future research.

This study intends to demonstrate a detailed knowledge map of language teachers’ self-efficacy research via the past 20 years’ data from the Web of Science (WoS) database. A bibliometric analysis was employed to analyze the articles published between 2003 and March 2023 to show the status of language teachers’ self-efficacy research in the last two decades. Hot research topics and future directions in this field have also been discussed. By applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 250 documents were finally retrieved for analysis. Through production, citation, and content analysis with the help of Biblioshiny, this study finds that language teachers’ self-efficacy research has increasingly gained popularity in the academic field over the past 20 years, and its booming production involves many authors, journals, institutions, and countries. Furthermore, English teachers’ “professional development,” “beliefs,” “job satisfaction/burnout,” and context impacting the construction of teachers’ self-efficacy are the hotspots in language teachers’ self-efficacy research. However, specific issues concerning measures to develop language teachers’ self-efficacy and their effect on practical language teaching and learning will keep good topics in future research.

The current work aims to extend our understanding of the relationship between academic performance and burnout. Using longitudinal data collected from 521 students enrolled in a Singapore-based university from their freshmen year up to the end of year two, we examined the temporal order of the GPA-burnout relation to determine if there is a reciprocal relation between students’ burnout and academic performance. Grit, grit-passion, grit-perseverance, self-efficacy, and resilience were tested as moderating factors that were thought to potentially exacerbate, or protect against, the negative effects between GPA and burnout. Employing a panel analysis by means of SEM revealed that the relationship between GPA and burnout in our data is one where higher GPA contributes to worse burnout. Of all the moderating factors, only grit-passion was found to moderate the relationship between GPA and burnout, indicating that this relationship also depended on whether one has high or low grit-passion. In practice, our findings imply that high-achieving students are at risk of experiencing burnout due to excessive pressure and constant striving for better performance, but cultivating passion and enjoyment for academic activities can serve as a protective factor against burnout.
