Abstract: The purpose of the study is to understand the role of individual (self-efficacy), job-related (meaningfulness of the job) and organisational (psychological safety) factors in influencing teacher effectiveness among private engineering college teachers in India. Cross sectional research design was used to collect data from 178 engineering college teachers. Data collected from standardised questionnaires were analysed using the hierarchical regression method. Results show a significant positive impact of self-efficacy on all three dimensions of teacher effectiveness. The perceived meaningfulness of the job had a positive impact on interpersonal openness and preparedness dimension of teacher effectiveness. It also moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and interpersonal openness dimension. Perceived psychological safety had a positive impact only on the preparedness dimension of teacher effectiveness and it did not show any moderation effect. The results reiterate the importance of nurturing confidence among teachers to improve their effectiveness.
