The analysis of data was conducted using the SPSS 22.0 program to examine the general characteristics of the study target, and the analysis was conducted stepwise to look at the influence of each of the variables on the teacher's. Personal teacher efficacy is shown to affect Conscientiousness, nervousness, openness to experience, and evaluation support among personality characteristics, and Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and nervousness affect general teacher efficacy.

본 연구는 유아교사 효능감에 영향을 미치는 교사 내, 외적 변인을 함께 알아봄으로써 유아교사 효능감을 높일 수 있는 방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 선행연구를 바탕으로 교사효능감에 영향을 미치는 내적 변인으로 성격특성을 선정하였으며, 외적변인으로 사회적 지지를 선정하여 성격특성, 사회적 지지가 유아교사의 효능감에 미치는 영향은 어떠한가를 연구문제로 설정하였다. 본 연구대상은 대구, 경북에 위치한 유치원 및 어린이집 교사 285명이 선정되었다. 자료 분석은 연구대상의 일반적 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계분석을 실시하였고, 각 변인들이 교사효능감에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보기 위하여 단계적 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 성격특성, 사회적 지지는 유아교사 효능감에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났으며, 교수효능감 하위변인인 개인적 교사효능감에는 성실성, 신경성, 경험에 대한 개방성, 평가적지지가 영향을 미치며, 일반적 교사효능감에는 성실성, 친화성, 신경성이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 유아교사의 성격특성, 사회적지지가 교사효능감에 영향을 미치는 변인 중 하나임을 시사한다.
