| dc.description.abstract | This investigated the correlation among emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, job satisfaction and attitude of special education teachers to work in Lagos State. This becomes necessary because of the dispositions of some special educators and rate of attraction from teaching due to a number of reasons yet to be ascertained. This study employed descriptive survey research design. The population comprised all special education teachers in Lagos and 68 Special education teachers were randomly selected from inclusive and special schools out of which 38 were female and male teachers. Job commitment inventory comprising emotional intelligence scale (0.81), teachers' self-efficacy scale (0.70), Job Satisfaction scale (0.75) and teachers attitudinal scale (0.70) were used to collect data. Emotional intelligence scale, teachers' self-efficacy scale, Job Satisfaction scale were adapted from Schutte et al (1998), Rolf Schwarzen, Gerdamarie, Schmitz & Daytner (1999); Brayfield & Rotle (1951) respectively and teachers' attitudinal scale was self- developed. Data collected was coded and analysed using Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression. The results revealed that emotional intelligence, self-efficacy and job satisfaction correlated positively with attitude of special education teachers to work; the independent variables did not jointly predict attitude of special education to work and self-efficacy contributed mostly. In view of the findings, it was recommended that teacher education programmes should be fortified with curriculum that will help pre-service and on service teachers to develop high sense of self efficacy. | en_US |
