The study's  \nstrength lies in its exploration of this question within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic,  \nwhich provides a background that adds depth to the examination. Researchers collected data from  \n272 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers during the pandemic. The study intended to  \nidentify the motivating factors underlying self-efficacy in this particular teacher set using the  \nregression analysis perspective. The findings provided significant understanding; a strong link  \nbetween self-efficacy and academic optimism was found. This shows that EFL teachers were more  \nlikely to demonstrate a better level of self-efficacy in their teaching responsibilities if they had a  \nmore positive outlook on academic outcomes. However, psychological well-being was not shown  \nto be a significant predictor of self-efficacy. These findings shed light on a crucial aspect of  \nclassroom teacher efficiency and well-being. It shows that there is an intense desire to put  \nteachers' health first, particularly in challenging circumstances like the pandemic. Creating a  \nclimate of intellectual positivity should be a priority in all educational initiatives; the study can  \noperate as guidance, directing the creation of solutions to counteract possible adverse effects on  \nteachers' psychological health and, consequently, their ability to teach effectively. It is concluded  \nthat this study provides insight into the complexity of teacher self-efficacy, highlighting the  \nimpact of psychological wellness, academic optimism, and crisis-related environments.  \nKeywords: Academic optimism, Positive psychology, Psychological well-being, Teacher engagement, Teacher motivation, Teacher selfefficacy.  \nCitation | Tas, B.
