TL;DR: Based on the job demands-resources model, this article examined the mediating effects of teachers' self-monitoring and self-efficacy on the relationships between the emotional job demands of teaching and trust in colleagues and teacher well-being.
Abstract: Teacher well-being is a critical factor affecting job performance and thus, significant for enhancing quality teaching. Based on the job demands-resources model, this study examines the mediating effects of teachers’ self-monitoring and self-efficacy on the relationships between the emotional job demands of teaching and trust in colleagues and teacher well-being. A questionnaire was administered to 1115 primary school teachers in Hong Kong. The results highlight the maladaptive role of self-monitoring as a personal demand and the adaptive role of self-efficacy as a personal resource: self-monitoring is positively related to anxiety and depression; self-efficacy is positively related to enthusiasm and contentment and negatively related to anxiety and depression. The results not only support the beneficial role of trust in colleagues, which is positively associated with teacher self-efficacy and well-being, but also reveal the rewarding side of emotional job demands in enhancing teacher self-efficac...

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that early autonomous motives were related positively to mastery-oriented goals in the following year, which in turn were related to increased autonomous motives in the next year.
Abstract: Academic achievement was once thought to be the most important outcome of formal educational experiences and while there is little doubt as to the vital role such achievements play in student life and later (Kell, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2013), researchers and policy makers are ever increasingly turning to social and emotional factors, as well as the relationships among them, as indicators of student well-being and psychological development (Chernyshenko, Kankara s, & Drasgow, 2018; Frydenberg, Martin, & Collie, 2017; Moore, Mok, Chan, & Lai, 2006). Indicative of this movement is the recent addition of social and emotional measures to established Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) measures (e.g. PISA, OECD, 2019). These measures include, according to Chernyshenko et al. (2018), emotional regulation (e.g. stress resistance, optimism), task performance (e.g. motivation, persistence, self-control) and compound skills (e.g. metacognition, self-efficacy). Consistent with this theme, you will find six quality empirical studies in this Issue that examine some of the complexities of such factors, some related to academic achievement, others not, having a legitimacy in their own right. Academic achievement plays a role in the studies by Colmar, Liem, Connor, and Martin (2019) and Martinez, Youssef-Morgan, Chambel, and Marques-Pinto (2019). For Colmar et al. (2019), the capacity of elementary school students to respond to academic setbacks, academic buoyancy, was not predictive of academic achievement. However, academic buoyancy effects were demonstrated for both reading and mathematics achievement in Australian students when mediated by self-concept. Psychological capital resources (e.g. efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience) are foregrounded in Martinez et al.’s (2019) examination of Spanish/Portugese university students’ engagement and achievement. Their findings showed that students who report being engaged in learning are more likely to be users of psychological capital who in turn are more likely to achieve higher academically. Academic achievement is integrated also into the work of Eakman, Kinney, Schierl, and Henry (2019), where the focus is on the complexities of the emotional and social lives of returned veterans and service personnel. In a comprehensive study, learning climate support, post-traumatic stress, depression, self-efficacy and academic problems are linked to achievement showing, among other findings, that self-efficacy, less academic problems and autonomy supporting learning environments are positively related to achievement. Moreover, these factors persisted irrespective of depression or post-traumatic stress levels. Achievement goals (Elliot, 2005) underpin the studies by Cho and Kim (2019) and Chen, Elliot, and Sheldon (2019). The former examined longitudinally South Korean secondary students and also investigated self-determined motivation (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Among some complex findings, Cho and Kim (2019) showed that early autonomous motives were related positively to mastery-oriented goals in the following year, which in turn were related to increased autonomous motives in the next year. The latter study explored psychological need support (competence, autonomy, and relatedness) in concert with achievement goals in their Chinese university sample showing, among other results, the

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show the importance of explicitly identifying student-specific teachers' self-efficacy and propose a short adapted version of Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy's Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale.
Abstract: This study aims to show the importance of explicitly identifying student-specific teachers’ self-efficacy. Data from 43 regular teachers who rated their self-efficacy towards 611 fourth-grade students from inclusive classes in Austria were analyzed. In addition, 15 regular teachers and 15 special needs teachers rated their student-specific self-efficacy levels of 136 students. Teachers’ sense of self-efficacy towards individual students was assessed using a short, adapted version of Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy’s Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale. Results of multilevel-regression analysis showed that the higher the teachers’ general self-efficacy the higher was their student-specific self-efficacy. In addition, teachers’ student-specific self-efficacy was lower for students whose special needs regarded learning or behavioural and emotional disorders. The outcomes of the study imply that measuring teachers’ self-efficacy specifically for individual students compared to a teachers’ general self-...
