To this end, 142 English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers were selected from various English language institutes of Mashhad and Tehran, two cities in Iran. They were requested to complete three questionnaires: the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale, and the Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers. The findings obtained via SEM revealed that the proposed model had a good fit with the empirical data. In particular, it was found that job motivation contributed significantly to burnout depletion. It was also revealed that self -efficacy positively predicted job motivation, and burnout negatively influenced self -efficacy. However, self -efficacy surpassed motivation in predicting EFL instructors’ burnout. Results were discussed from both theoretical standpoints as well as previous empirical findings. Finally, implications were presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Probing EFL Teachers’ Job Motivation in the Light of Intra-individual Level Predictors}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/103976/PDF/PPB%203-18%2011-A.Ghanizadeh.pdf}, doi={10.24425/119505}, keywords={EFL instructors, burnout, motivation, self-efficacy, SEM}, }
