Toward the Impact of Job Satisfaction and Collective Efficacy on EFL Teachers’ Professional Commitment

Abstract

Since the success of any educational system is tied to the teachers’ professional commitment, discovering the determinants of this construct seems vital. In line with this, a huge number of inquiries have evaluated the effects of personal, contextual, and professional variables on teachers’ professional commitment. However, the impacts of job satisfaction and collective efficacy have remained unclear. Against this backdrop, the current review article seeks to theoretically explain the impacts of these constructs on EFL teachers’ professional commitment using the available documents.
