The sample consisted of 375 teachers around the National Capital Region and data were collected through an online survey questionnaire. General Self-efficacy Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were utilized as the measuring instruments for the study. The relationship between self-efficacy and work engagement were analyzed using correlational analysis and results of the study indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between self-efficacy and work engagement among teachers. The researchers recommend similar studies in various fields of work to further the study on self-efficacy and work engagement.
