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. The review findings illuminated that EFL teachers' professional commitment heavily relies on their job satisfaction and collective efficacy beliefs. The implications for educational principals and teacher educators are finally discussed.
由于任何教育系统的成功都与教师的专业投入息息相关,因此探寻这一概念的决定因素显得至关重要。与此相符的是,大量研究已经评估了个人、环境和专业变量对教师专业投入的影响。然而,工作满意度和集体效能的影响仍不明确。在此背景下,当前这篇综述文章旨在利用现有文献从理论上解释这些概念对英语外语教师专业投入的影响。综述结果表明,英语外语教师的专业投入在很大程度上依赖于他们的工作满意度和集体效能信念。最后讨论了对教育校长和教师教育工作者的启示。
