Teacher organizational citizenship behaviours and job efficacy: Implications for student quality of school life
The present study investigated the impact of teacher.;' organizational clti~enship
behaviours (CeBs) on student quality of schoolljfe (SQSL) via the indirect effect of job
efficacy. A measure of teacher DeBs was developed. tapping one dimension of
individual-focused OCB (OCBI - student-directed behaviour) and twO dimensions of
organization-focused OCB (DCBO - civic virtue and professional development). In line
with previous research suggesting that DeBs may enhance job efficacy, as well as
studies demonstrating the positive effects of teacher efficacy on student outcomes, we
expected an indirect relationship between teachers DeBs and SQSL via teachers' job
efficacy. Hypotheses were tested in a multi-level design in which J 70 teachers and their
students (N = 3,057) completed questionnaires. A significant proportion of variance in
SQSL was attributable to classroom factors. Analyses revealed that the civic virtue and
professional development behaviours of teachers were positively related to their job
efficacy, The job efficacy of teachers also had a positive impact on all five indicators of
SQSL.ln regards to professional development. job efficacy acted as an indirect variable
in the prediction of four student outcomes (i.e., general satisfaction. student-teacher
relations. achievement. and opportunity) and fully mediated the direct negative effect
on psychological distress.
