Introduction: The aim of the presented research was to check whether there is a connection between teachers’ self-efficacy and their psychological well-being from a holistic (hedonic and eudaimonic) perspective. Method: The study involved 100 teachers who were asked to fill in the following research tools with proven psychometric properties: the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and the Psychological Well-being Scale. Results: The obtained data confirm that there is a connection between self-efficacy belief, and hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. The degree of professional promotion grades modifies the relationships considered. Conclusions: The psychological well-being of teachers is significantly associated with their evaluation of efficacy, which may have a positive impact on the effectiveness of teachers’ professional functioning and the achievements of their students.

The purpose of this article is to explore a possible correlation between the concept of self-efficacy and the occurrence of a highly intense motivational surge to which Dörnyei refers to as a Directed Motivational Current. To this end, the first two parts are of purely theoretical nature and aim to familiarise a reader with the background information behind our constructs. The quantitative part of our study supports the existence of a strong correlation between our primary variables. The final section is devoted to the qualitative analysis and discussion of our research project and has revealed a few noteworthy implications, such as the importance of a facilitative structure and a tendency for the value of self-efficacy to increase during a DMC experience.
