Collective Efficacy-enhancing Factors: Public School Teachers' Perspective for Effective School Management

Abstract

 This exploratory survey was conducted in two regions of Ghana: Greater Accra and Upper east regions. Data was gathered from four-hundred and sixty respondents (teachers) with a sixty-forty distribution between the two regions respectively. Instrumentation was mainly by the researcher's designed questionnaire. Data analyses were inferential and descriptive. Major findings were that: 1. Most teachers in the public basic schools are conscious of their efficacy beliefs and would desire an enhancement of their efficacy strengths. 2. Collective efficacy is closely associated with self-efficacy. 3. Environment, Supervisors, Caliber of students and Parental role are highly considered by teachers as factors most likely to boost their general efficacy as a faculty.
